I'm not saying Robbie won't be missed, I'm saying this signing (or lack there of) is surprising. The guy talked about the Yankee history, how important it was to him to be a Yankee and and the right things but in the end I guess he was just talking to ARod too much about his phyilospoy on baseball.
For everyone having a baseball cow right now you need to look at it this way... We just got Brian McCann and Elsbury for the price it would have cost to keep Cano and Elsbury and McCann > Cano and Steward. Especially when you add Beltran in there as well (would not have been signed without a no Cano signing). But this leaves the question of who will play 2nd base for the yanks.
We need to remember that this is a business and not personal so when I say this, your gonna get pissed but your gonna have to deal with it. We need to move Gardner for a second Basmen. I want Beandon Phillips from the Reds (owner wants him moved so he will go). Of course for Philips it will take a lot more then Gardner but I feel like this is a move that needs to be made.
Brandon Philips is not only one of the top 5 second basemen in the league but everyone talks about his character and how great of a guy he is in the club house (just like McCann). We need these kind if guys to be the future leaders of our team. Jeter isn't gonna be around forever you know and Mo is already gone.
Whatever needs to be done to get Phillips should be done. Then add a Pitcher (tanaka ?) or two (colon) that will solidify a rotation. Anyone know if Tim Tebow can pitch? #justKiddin #Maybe
