AL East Thread

They're young, but they seem to get more out of their pitching year after year than anyone except Tampa.

And Francona's a terrific manager. We'll see. I think they might surprise.

Kluber
Bauer
Clevenger
Bieber

Not a bad arsenal over the last few years.

You know you're getting old when Bernie Williams and Paul O'Neill are playing.

I love that they still do it, but I'm pretty sure no one else does anymore.

Game's got to be over by 4 so he can make post-time at Aqueduct.

When I was a kid, I went to Yankee Stadium with my grandfather, uncle & my dad. It just happened to be Old Timers Day the game we attended. It might have been 1980ish??? Pretty sure Mantle and DiMaggio were there. Everyone was freaking out. I was too young to know what was going on.

One year they introduced Mantle after DiMaggio, and Joe got pissed feeling like he should have been the last one introduced, and never came back.

Great, great player, but always came off as an aloof prick.

Unless Jeter and Rivera are there, what’s the point? People aren’t getting excited for Charlie Hayes and Jeff Nelson.

O'Neill and Bernie are beloved, I think Mo did come last time, but didn't play.

Mo comes
Jeter said he never would

huge prick in retirement

I think there's the whole owning another MLB franchise thing.

That makes no sense. What’s the story there?

So he can’t show up in Yankee Stadium and wave to the crowd? Nah..,there has to be more than that.

He always seemed to enjoy the hell out of the day when he was playing. I remember him joking towards the end of his career that he played with half the old timers.

I haven't heard that he said he'd never play.

Piniella never participated when he was managing another franchise, ditto Donnie Baseball.

It’s different when you are managing a game in St. Louis that day. Jeter has no similar excuse.

Can this guy cut down on K’s and walk enough to stick around? He’s certainly earned the job. Also, this swing in Fenway looks like it will play well. Intriguing prospect. 7HR’s this Spring leads all of MLB...

Rays reliever Nick Anderson has torn elbow ligament, will be out until after the All-Star break

Anderson won't undergo surgery, the Rays already announced he's until the second half of the season

Another huge injury in the AL East

They also replaced Snell and Morton with Archer, Wacha and Rich Hill. And we know that somehow they will be right in the mix anyway.
