With the FA market just hours away, YANKEES' HOT STOVE with Bob Lorenz debuts for the 2008 season. Guest tonight are Tyler Kepner & Kevin Kernan.
Joe G on phone: On Swisher trade - probably 1st hitting 5-7th in lineup, good presence in clubhouse, plays with intensity. KLong will work with him on raising average, works count. FA- will be as active as he can to recruit FAs & trades, willing to do whataever it takes. CC is the prize. State of the art clubhouse, playing in NY, prestige of playing center stage. Others on radar-guarantee on rotation is only Wang so we will be aggressive. On Joba-6-7 solid starters needed. Joba's penciled as starter but 32 starts doubtful with limited time this season. On Cano - more aggressive last 3 weeks of season, struggled but grew this year. playiong WL in DR-value on market , if something makes sense, who knows. Kevin will head to DR working on stance allowing consistency and reducing movement of head (kevin has been in SE with ALex) - Joe has benefit at Grand Center Oyster Bar Wednesday to support Alzheimer's Foundation, (wish I was able to attend). Joe heading out to LL game with his son (football), who just hit Dad in the back of the head with the ball throwing to his little sister.
