I'm a Mets fan and I'm happy about the weenieey trade. We are not contenders and this was the smart move. I won't dog Alderson if it doesn't pan out. Without the benefit of hindsight I would do this deal 10 times out of 10.

Having said that, I still hope Omar Minaya dies a slow and painful death.

In other news the Red Sox must have decided that throwing an obscene amount of money at a member of the Drew family worked out so well the first time, why not try it again!

I dunno, I really am not huge on it. 9.5 mil for a dude who has been the pinacle of mediocrity over the last few seasons. I liked the idea of letting Iglesias have the job full time. He's not getting anything else outta AAA, might as well find out if he has a future with the team or not.
If you take out the time he was hurt back in 2011 he really has put together a decent body of work. Last year splitting time between ARI/OAK is not exactly a hitter's dream, but from 2007-2010 he was only behind Hanley and Tulo in OPS among SS. Decent enough with the glove and I could think of worse up the middle than Drew/Pedroia. Personally I just wish STL would have made a push.
Also, JD was a candy-ass. Mostly thanks to the fact that he came up with McGwire as his "veteran leader" teaching him to sit out every time he got a bruise. Stephen's ankle was a bit more serious than anything JD ever had.

Also here in Cleveland we don't need to worry much about these "Playoffs" you speak of
Which is why it seemed weird to me to give a 32 year old good but not great outfielder a 4 year contract. I was pretty surprised to see you liked the deal to be honest.
I think this club is headed in a great direction with some of the acquisitions made this offseason improving your offense.
How do you feel about the Yankees direction?
Downhill. They don't have much in the minors to give them a boost and the rest of the division is getting exponentially better. I hope they don't trade what few prospects they have to over-spend on some soon-to-be over the hill star but that's what they always seem to do.

I'm not hopeful at the moment especially since our depth has gone to crap. I think this could have been a "rebuilding" year but without stripping the team and adding a couple solid young players to round out the lineup, like the Mets did.

I still have a feeling the Yankees are making the playoffs in 2013. They always find a way.
They had a good run for a dozen or so years even by Yankee standards so I can't complain. But they are now falling behind many teams in the other divisions and Toronto and Baltimore are getting to playoff contention instead of sucking. The Red Sox are improving but I'm not sure if they're there yet.

I get the sense that this belief is based mostly on name recognition. The Yankees are OLD, they lack the youth infusion that has been a staple of their long-term success since that '96 team and they didn't get better really in any single area outside of the closer/set-up roles thanks to the return of Mo.
As a Mets fan I am an expert in piss poor offseasons and offseasons where a team is sitting on its hands while trying to convince you that they're making moves behind the scenes.
This has been a pretty terrible offseason for the Yanks. If they don't start making moves they could be heading towards a period of a few years before they sniff legitimate contention again.

When a Yankees fan is jealous of the Mets and Blue Jays offseason you know something is wrong. Steinbrenner bros please escort yourself out because they aren't their father and have no authority over this squad. We need a single owner to come in and do work.

Hall of Fame voting stirred up quite the controversey in my household today. Thoughts? Predictions? Opinions on the steroid era voting? Kind of curious as to what people think, considering my dad and I had about an hour long conversation on it.

Good dark horse choice my friend. My personal fav for that category would have to be Edgar Martinez. If the AL insists on the DH it should be perfectly acceptable for one of the most productive to make it to the hall.

Could a Yankee fan explain to me why Bernie Williams isn't really in the Hall of Fame discussion today? Statistically he isn't to far off from Biggio other than the 3,000 hits plateau(or is Biggio JUST getting in for hitting this, which is a whole nother discussion). Add in 4 rings, multiple post season hitting records and an MVP. In he clumped in the steroids cloud? Mind you I'm a Sox fan, he just always seemed like a class act and I'm really puzzled as to why he isn't in the conversation.
