Hah wow. To lose Granderson and Tex for the first month plus of the season. Wonder who plays 1B for them now.

In house options are Dan Johnson. Maybe move Youkilis over and put Nix or Nunez at third.

But I bet they go after Canzler or Peare or Jackson.

I'm not sure. Would Pearce or Jackson have an option of getting out of their minor league contracts if they don't make the team out of spring training?

Maybe. But even if they didn't make the team, they just might rather be on the AAA-Tides and wait for the call-up from a good team like the Orioles than be on the major league squad of a crappy team like the Yankees. ;)

Unless there are opt-out clauses in their contracts (which I think only Jackson might have? Not sure) I doubt the O's would do anything to help out the Yankees.

I haven't read anything about Jackson having an opt out in his contract. He would be the only one of the three who potentially might, however. Pearce was tendered a contract when he was on the 40 man and later DFA'd so it is unlikely he would have any opt out in his contract. He didn't come to the Orioles as a free agent this offseason, he was already a member of the 40-man roster and was just tendered a contract. Canzler has an option remaining and was not a free agent either. Players in his situation usually do not have any sort of opt out.

There is virtually no reason for the Orioles not to hang onto Canzler, Pearce, and Jackson to start the season and I imagine they'll do just that. The fact that those guys would likely be sought after by the Yankees now just makes that even more likely of an outcome. It will be interesting to see the Yankees decide to do in terms of strengthening their Opening Day roster.

There is a big difference between helping them and picking their pockets when they are desperate. :)

I don't see that happening. This isn't the old man's team anymore and dumb trades George would have made in a heartbeat don't usually happen anymore.

These are comments from my Yankee fan friends on BBT:

Posted By CDYankeeBB:

"A few years ago, I mentioned the fact that KO-Tex's head was as large a Barry Bonds' head. It was my humble option then that KO-Tex was a user of PED?s. In the past season and starting this one, he has been breaking down (strained calf, strained wrist) like his has-been/never-would-have-been-without-the-juice friend, A-DICK. Today I am pretty satisfied that I was right." :)

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.

      My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
