Arrive in Toronto, flip open the PowerBook and there are four “The Yankees should sign Richie Sexson” e-mails. OK, let’s look it over: PROS * Sexson has good splits against lefties (.344/.423/.623). Maybe you can platoon him with Jason Giambi at first base or DH him against lefties instead of somebody like Wilson Betemit. * He would cost only the prorated minimum. ... [link]

... . Sexson has a 1.045 OPS against lefties this year, but it's only been 70 plate appearances. He was nothing special against lefties in 2006-07. Peter Abraham offers his take on the idea of signing Sexson over at his blog. ...

Hank strikes again, and other notes
Published 7/12/2008 by Ed Valentine at Bugs & Cranks
Hank Steinbrenner just can’t help himself. He couldn’t get through an entire interview — this one with USA Today — without taking a shot at somebody. His primary target this time turned out to be fans of the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays. “There’s a lot of excitement around here from the Rays fans, but almost to a point of arrogance,” he says. “They better be careful. They’ll learn this (expletive) can change real quick.” I will admit that Rays fans do seem to talk an awful lot of trash for a team that has ...

Posted 7/13/2008 on Baseball Crank

David Pinto seems to think so , given his terrible numbers this year. The Yankees, in particular, are a focus of debate about signing him. Sexson's 33, so while he may be done, it's just a little early to write him off without one last look. As I often do for players in his position, former stars who just seem to have hit the wall awful quickly, I looked at his splits . Here is Sexson this ...

Kruty won the Sidney Ponson contest back in June with a remarkably accurate guess: "Yankees. June 19." Today, the stunning release of Richie Sexson has created a new contest opportunity. Please tell us via comments who will dare to sign Sexson, and when. And possibly why, because that detail eludes me. The deadline for entry is Friday, July 11, at 5 PM. The person ...

New York Should Sign Sexson

Posted 7/10/2008 on Respect Jeter's Gangster

Former Mariner's slugger Richie Sexson was just released after underperforming for the last 2 seasons. Personally, I think New York should sign Sexson. Not the Yankees mind you, but the Knicks. With how bad the Knicks are I really don't see how this wouldn't be an improvement for them.

Sign Sexson

Posted 7/10/2008 on YankeesRedSox.com

The Seattle Mariners released Richie Sexson today and I think the Yankees should sign him. Now, before I state my case, let me get a few things out of the way. Yes, Sexson is a strikeout machine, whiffing all the time. Yes, he would probably lose a footrace to Jason Giambi by a lot. Yes, he cannot field very well and yes, the Yankees have plenty of old ...
