Yanks Scoping Out Damaso Marte? Links1
MY BASEBALL BIAS found this 3/9/2008 on www.waswatching.com [flag]
Kevin from Queens asked recently, via e-mail: What's the latest with the Yankees and southpaw Damaso Marte? I read rumors about a potential trade with the Pirates during Winter Meetings but have not heard much since. He seems like an ideal arm to add to the bullpen and would make Joba's transition from reliever to starter much smoother. Any chance this could still happen or am I just ... [link]

Cafardo: Marte on the Yankees Radar
Published 3/9/2008 by Jason at MY BASEBALL BIAS
... his career, lefties have hit only .218 against him and righties only .228. His delivery is nasty. So far this spring, Billy Traber is the only Yankees lefty who has showed some promise. Sean Henn and Kei Igawa have been very inconsistent. Heath Phillips has four strikeouts in 3.1 innings, but I don’t believe the Yankees think of him as the answer. Now, if the Yankees try and do a deal for Marte, whom do you think the Twins will ask for? Hat tip to WasWatching

Greg C. posted 3/10/2008 from slidingintohome.blogspot.com

Last week I asked if the Yankees should sign an extra starting pitcher , today let's discuss adding a left-hander for the bullpen. Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe reported Sunday that they do want to: The Yankees are looking far and wide for a left-handed reliever.

Fantasy Baseball Draft - Pittsburgh Lumber Co. Team 1

I made a conscious decision to stream pitching before we started the draft. I’m not sure why. But the plan was to focus on offense early, draft a few elite relievers, then load up on setup men with good K/IP numbers.

Fantasy Baseball Draft - Pittsburgh Lumber Co. Team 2

coryh64 posted 3/9/2008 from mvn.com

Having blown my pitching staff in Seamless League Encarnacion, I entered Upton with a slightly different strategy. I still wanted to go offense early, but I also needed to grab four starting pitchers with decent K/IP numbers. Then three decent closers, setup men with strong rates, and stream the last couple hundred innings.

Manny Gives Dustin Amazing Gift

firedoc posted 3/9/2008 from www.bostonsportz.com

Manny Ramirez may very well be an alien sent down to Earth to protect us from the Evil Yankees and the boredom of watching routine pop-flies to left, but no one can say he's not generous. As a reward for winning last season's Rookie of the Year Award, and perhaps an attempt to win over his heart, Dustin Pedroia was given a Rolex watch by Ramirez.
