That is why the Yankees are manipulating payroll with the goal of being under that threshold in 2014.

I always thought it was a possibility when Montero was traded. Damon/Matsui/Posada all could be a lefty platoon DH.

No DH is worth what Prince Fielder got. You can't get enough value from a DH to justify that payment.

Every team should be like the Yankess, Tigers, Cards etc...Have two uniforms, a white home and road gray. I know it's all about merchandise sales, but I hate the batting practice jerseys that teams like the Red Sox, Mets, and like two dozen others wear for games.

Agree. Although if every team did it, it wouldn't be as cool for teams like NY, etc...

CF on my softball teams works at his company. They moved to RI when the state gave his studio a huge tax break. Schilling has breakfast once a month with a random set of employees just to ask how things are going, which is really cool.

If Schilling's personal interests had a major influence on this game, I would expect it to center around an all you can eat buffet.

Never considered it, but it's a good question. I just looked up some stuff. Never won a Cy, but I don't put too much stock in that stuff since the writers are knuckleheads and choose poorly so often.

His career is almost identical to Kevin Brown's.

Great durability and some great seasons, but going with no.

according to all determining factors he's a shoe in. black ink 42 out of 40 for avg hof er/ gray ink 205 out of 185. hof mon 171 out of 100. only hof stan. does he fall a little short 46 out of 50. in his top 10 most like, 2 are in the hof don drysdale and dazzy vance and pedro martinez should be a shoein hofer.
