Giants Win! Now About a DH...

Congratulations to the New York Giants and specifically to Eli Manning who seems to be seen as the little brother of an elite quarterback as opposed to an elite quarterback in his own right. People seemed surprised when Eli said that he saw himself in the same category as Brady. Now he's beaten Brady twice in the superbowl, and this time it didn't require a miraculous catch. That being said, the football season is now over, and despite the dissapointment of a weak lineup of superbowl commercials, it was an entertaining game to watch. Now, we look forward to baseball season, and therefore we must revisit the signing of a DH. The Yankees want a left-handed DH, and the available candidates are Matsui, Damon and Raul Ibanez. I've advocated we let Jorge Vazquez compete for the spot, because the Yankees are suddenly concerned about their payroll, and he's a very cheap option. However, he's right handed. So what's your pick: go cheap and right-handed or spend money and go left-handed?

I'd like to see Matsui or Damon back in pin stripes, but that's because I am sentimental. I am not sure if that is the best baseball move. I'm interested to see what Jorge Vasquez does in spring training. Eventually we are either going to have to move this guy up or trade him right?

I feel like I solved this problem in the last post, and that's not being validated right now. #feeling hurt.

Montero's not left-handed either!

Roberto E. Alejandro said...

Your face isn't left handed!

Montero could be left handed if he wanted. He is, after all, Jesus.

Hahaha, I guess I never saw it that way Rob B.

The Manningham catch was miraculous. It's probably the second-greatest catch in Giants history, after the Tyree catch.

I would charitably deem the choice of Ibanez, Damon or Matsui "uninspiring."
