my main point was that the guy failed in a spot where he could have been a difference maker for that game (and it just so happens someone on this board said when the yankees signed him - watch - he won't be a difference maker - and that said individual herehas been correct about him so far)

I guess he will only have 500 more AB's to make up for that tragic AB. What exactly is a difference maker? The guy is the 2nd best 1st baseman in baseball, what more do you want?

Over enough time he'll produce. NY gets in the heads of some players who aren't used to it but he is too good to stay cold for much longer

He didnt exactly light the world on fire in April in Atlanta last year either.

Too good? How many career POST SEASON RBI's does this star Tex have? All I remember is the sac fly for 1 RBI. He's hitting about .200 with 10 RBI this season. He's getting paid twice what he should(cuz he's seen as good citizen-clean-cut tame.)

It seems that NY (with the exception of Gales ) has been pretty leanient on Tex so far. I guess between the pitching/bullpen being at times just awful this season. The whole A-Rod season/injury saga. Then throw into the mix that David Wright and the team across town has been putrid at times too, equates to Tex flying under the radar with his slow start so far.
I like the guy and think he will be just fine. Especially after A-Rod gets back into the lineup and gives him a bit more protection. Just need more starts like they have gotten the last 2 nights and avoid meltdowns like they almost had last night.

Incorrect. If he was functional they would have fired the pitching coach by now.

As far as the goes, you brought them on yourself with the Chicken Little act after one game in to the season.

i don't disagree with that , but no $20mm bust would have gotten a pass this long , the boys sure ain't like the old man , maddon or someone else would have buried him for a day in the papers already

I know this is a big mistake, but could you please refresh my memory? You had a few gems last week and I forgot which one you are talking about.

Isn't it a bit premature calling a guy a bust 11 games into a 8 year contract? Or did Scuds tell you to say that?
