then you must know Reyes > Jeter for the past 3 years

scary thing is that he is just beginning his career //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Reyes is more valuable to the Mets than Jeter is to the Yanks

the yankee's are a disgrace to baseball. They buy some of the best players to ever play game almost every year and they don't get anywhere. Jeter, Rodriguez, Texiera, Giambi, Matsui, cano? What is this the all decade team?!! Give me a break.....

For being Tim Kukijan, I figured you would've known Giambi is no longer with the team, and Cano was a home grown talent

cc is by far the most dominant on that list right now and he is being paid half as much as arod, and arod = fail in the clutch. It makes no sense, they just throw money at people because they can and don't look at what a great baseball player is.

Sabathia doesn't fail in the clutch? Did you miss the playoffs when Sabathia got lit up? How about 07 when he wore out and got blasted by Boston in the ALCS?

jeter is one of the top 50 players of all time. He is definitely better than reyes.
he's gonna get 3000 hits here real soon.

Top 50? His stats compare most favorably to Barry Larkin and Alan Trammell. They are not top 50 players.

pffftttt everyone knows if you do credit card commercials it makes that player a top 20 player all time!!!......

No, if you hang around skanks in New York City it makes you a top 20 player.

Just an fyi, Carston Charles "Mr. Clutch" Sabathia, has a 7.92 ERA in the postseason.

And the Orioles let me down again in the trades. Once again, they are in the running on the big name free agent, there is constant talk about signing this player for months and months, only to find out at the last minute the Yankees offer a few more millions and he goes to NY. Again showing Angelos does not really want to open his checkbook. Tex could have saved the franchise, now I get the feeling they will try to trade away Roberts and try to get two younger players, and keep planning for the next year.

nothing wrong with that as long as they show progress...I would rather have a team that was good/contending for a few years than a flash in the pan

They offered him a lot of money. Even with Teixiera, I don't see Baltimore competing in that division. I'm glad Detroit isn't in the AL East anymore.

I was talking more on the grand scheme of things. That would have meant two huge bats in the order, young talents and very fast outfield, unreal catcher about to come up, and a very good fielding middle infield. So with that caliber of offense, pitchers would love to come here. But now I see it as things going back the other direction. Roberts is going to want to be with a contender. And I am sick of hearing about these killer minor league prospects the Orioles have, but for some reason they still have not come up or they have had no effect.

 

This means as an Orioles fan, we will be going on the 12th losing season. Not good for pretty much one of the best teams on average from the mid 60's to the early 80's. Only to peak in 1997 to have Jeffery Maher lean over the fence and cheat for the Yankees. POS.

You aren't going to get any sympathy from a Tigers fan //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
