Juan Rivera is not your savior.

Actually, Nunez at 3B, Youk to 1B is probably the answer.

J-E-T-S!!!

Just end the season.

Is the question how to lead MLB in errors made by your third baseman?

4. JJ1986 posted on March 06, 2013 at 05:57 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Every injury increases the chance that Ronnier Mustelier makes the starting lineup.

5. Chip posted on March 06, 2013 at 06:01 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Francesa already advocating giving up whatever it takes from the farm system to get Morneau from the Twins, and mystified why Sweeney Murti doesn't agree with him that this is both possible, and the best course to take.

Possible opening day lineup for the Yankees, if every PED rumor is true, and nobody has a speedy recovery from their injuries:

RF: Ichiro Suzuki
CF: Brett Gardner
3b: Kevin Youkilis
DH: Travis Hafner
1b: Dan Johnson
LF: Juan Rivera
2b: Jayson Nix
C: Francisco Cervelli
SS: Eduardo Nunez

Amazing thing is that two starters are out for an extended time and one of them ISN'T Youkilis.

There's still plenty of spring training left.

So Johnny Damon and Vladimir Guererro ARE getting jobs this year I guess.

When did the Yanks poach the Mets' medical staff? Did I miss a big story this winter?

Who takes his WBC spot?

Jeter would make a great first baseman, he's tall and at first he really won't need to go to his left.

And here Tex was worried that if he hit three home runs in a game someone would call him a steroid user.

The pitching can keep them afloat for a month and a half.

27. Bruce Markusen posted on March 06, 2013 at 07:11 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

I think we're looking at a platoon of Dan Johnson and Kevin Youkilis at first base, with either Nunez or Mustelier playing third base against left-handed pitching.

So when does Cano go down?

29. snapper (history's 42nd greatest monster) posted on March 06, 2013 at 07:23 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

So when does Cano go down?

As soon as he exhausts the appeal process.

30. billyshears posted on March 06, 2013 at 07:25 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

So when does Cano go down?

He's going to be suspended for PEDs. Granderson too.

Edit: Too slow, I guess.

Time to bring back Rickey.

The PED thing is down to, what, a 10% chance of being real? Less?

No idea. But why down?

Wasn't there a several week lag between the same guy calling the Melky suspension, and the official news breaking?

If he behaves himself, Mel Hall will be available for the 2032 season.

Why would it be limited to 4 high-profile guys? Seems awfully coincidental. And if its related to the Miami clinic, why weren't the lesser-lights implicated also?

How do we know it would be just the 4? Maybe they just didn't bother leaking the no names.

Don't get mad Yankee fans. I'm just being greedy. You can have your choice of Murphy or Duda for Nunez. Or both.

@33-yesterday, Heyman tweeted that it was 100% BS.

What?? I'm not trading Daniel Murphy for Eduardo Nunez. "Mechanical but serviceable" is better than "butcher."

Duda, sure, go nuts.

Sheesh, just cuz the guy's not a good player anymore is no reason to send him to prison.

He got hurt hitting off a ####### tee.... in the exotic foreign land of Arizona.

Has there been a serious high profile injury of a a WBC injury that REALLY probably wouldnt' have happened in ST? like you know.. a guy pitching 100 pitches or going back to back days? or getting taken out in a silde ? (though that happens in ST at times too)

44. Eric J can SABER all he wants to posted on March 06, 2013 at 09:01 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

That it does. Ventura's first regular season appearance that year was in game 100 for the White Sox.

45. RollingWave posted on March 06, 2013 at 09:05 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

There was also that incident a couple years back with Elliot Johnson decided to tackle Francisco Cervelli at home plate in ST for some reason... it did earn him a job out of ST though.. FWIW, and ruined most of Cervelli's season (yeah it's Cervelli, but his previous season was actually kinda promising)

OK, but it is fairly likely that if there was anything to the story, there'd be some follow-up by now. Some reporter would have a good enough source to "confirm without confirming" whether or not a rash of high profile PED suspensions were in the works.

Francesa already advocating giving up whatever it takes from the farm system to get Morneau from the Twins, and mystified why Sweeney Murti doesn't agree with him that this is both possible, and the best course to take.

C'mon now. Morneau surely knows how to win.

Anything that can go wrong with the Yankees this year will go wrong, and event things that probably shouldn't go wrong will.

When I saw the Ichiro car crash story a couple days back I was so expecting him to be out for the season.
