He's gonna be a Yankee, just watch

Hey, when Daunte Culpepper came back from retirement, he was talking with the Chiefs and another team. He decided, though, to go with the God-forsaken Lions, so there could be a dark horse in the Yu Darvish talks. Just giving an example.

Yu Darvish reminds me of this kid.

Culpepper sucks, this kid has so much upside it is insane. Lions are the only team that would take him.

Yu won't go to some darkhorse team, it'll be the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, or Mariners.

And the Mariners are good?

THE ASTROS SURE AREN'T

Hey!!! The Astros are better than the Reds.

Apparently not, considering the Reds beat Roy Oswalt for the first time ever.

Yu better go to the Sox................................................oh great now we have two YOUSS

As rich as the Yankees and Red Sox are, they both may lay off of him. I mean as valuable as a prospect he is, neither really need him too much, especially the Yankees. The Yankees have a long future for CC Sabathia, Cheng Ming Wang, Joba Chamberlain, and probably Phil Hughes. Burnett has 5 years left too, and Darvish would be ready for the majors long before then (It's possible he'd start when he came over). Plus, the Yankees haven't had a good history with Japanese players (Irabu, Igawa). The Red Sox are set for a while with Becket, Lester, (maybe Matzuzaka, how long his contract and how old is he? Like Wang, is he sure he wants to continue being a Red Sock?), and maybe Bucholz. Plus they have Tazawa. Now the appeal of the Red Sox is that they have a couple Japanese players, but the Yankees have Matsui too. My guess is that a team that could use him more would get him. I know the Mariners are one of, if not the most popular MLB team in Japan because they've had so many Japanese players. A lot of players are interested in them, but they can't usually afford it. Not likely, but just a thought.

Wandy can't hear you.


Yeah, Joba and Wang look AWESOME so far.

Seriously? You say that after what, not even 2 weeks. Cheng Ming Wang got second in Cy Young his first two years in a row. His mechanics are clearly off and he isn't used to throwing yet. That will change, I'm certain. And Joba just had 1 poor start, he was lights out his first start with 1 run given up in 6 innings. He only gave up 3 runs in 5 innings, which stinks, but the rest were because of an error. He would have been pitching longer were it not for the error (his other start he gave up 1 home-run in 6 innings and 2 unearned runs). Don't act like Steinbrenner in the 90's and give up on a guy this early in the season. He'll come around.

STEINBRENNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cownip does have a point though.
Do any of you seriously think that Marco Scutaro will keep his current pace?
Do you think that last season for Aaron Harang was a sign? (Not just you, Chief)

Exactly.

I've never liked Harang to begin with, I was glad Freel, Patterson, Griffey and yes even Dunn left. We should get rid of Harang. Sorry.

Last season though, Harang's numbers were affected greatly by his injury against the Padres. He wasn't the same after he recovered.
