Alberto Gonzalez was pulled out of tonight’s game for Scranton, which could mean he’s headed here to replace Derek Jeter on the roster.
Jorge Posada is scheduled for an MRI tomorrow. He said it would be in Kansas City. The Yankees can have their own doctors read the results then decide what to do. He has never been on the DL in his career but seemed almost resigned to it when ...

Baseball Mastermind: Hull: All-Time Greats Baseball Team - The Offense
BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog —
... Let’s consult some numbers: Cal Ripken Jr.: WARP3: 172.4, EQA: .282, FRAA: +162. Alex Rodriguez: WARP3: 138.2, EQA: .322, FRAA: -26. Honus Wagner: WARP3: 191, EQA: .308, FRAA: +228. We have a resounding winner: Honus Wagner. We may have to look back once A-Rod’s career is over, but he will have long been displaced from shortstop and will be riding on his offensive numbers. Rodriguez has a pretty good chance at passing Wagner but there is no guarantee at this point. Not with Alberto Gonzalez possibly on his way...damn.

... According to Pete Abraham's blog, it looks like Yankees farm hand Alberto Gonzalez is on his way to New York. I think this is the smartest move as a short term fix. The Yankees won't gain much from him offensively but his defense is probably a little better that DJs when you consider his range is likely better. His offense can't be much worse than that of Wilson Betemit, who in my opinion won't be around much longer. His defense is questionable and offensively he's been a nightmare, unless you prefer a guy that will hit around .200 with more ...

What to do about shortstop?
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 4/9/2008 — In Jeter's (hopefully short) absence who is going to replace him at short? That's the big question of the day. Tyler Kepner suggests the Yankees might move A-Rod over and start Morgan Ensberg at third. Jon Harper of the Daily News says Girardi shouldn't even think about A-Rod at short. I happen to agree with the latter. A-Rod hasn't played short since 2005 and hasn't started a game at short ...
