He’s an improvement over Andruw (strikeout) Jones. He played well for the Yankees last year, unlike Jones this year. I can’t believe the Yankees have kept Jones this long, it must be his fielding they feel safe with, because he can’t hit his ass with both hands.

It’s just Sterling gushing over a sponsor of retirement homes during broadcasts. Follow “FakeJSterling” on twitter, the guy’s a hoot!

I didn’t understand a word of that, but it made me laugh out loud.

Meh, it’s a minor league deal. No harm, no foul. If he comes up and pops a couple out against lefties, then who cares? It’s not like they can lose in this.

If my memory is right, I wrote “The Yankees could use him.”

It ran through my mind in this fashion: “Well, he can always sign with the Yankees.”

Laughingly, I did predict this.

Pretty soon we’ll be buying dormitory space at John Sterling’s Hebrew Home in Riverdale.
Marvelous rooms overlooking the Hudson

Please, please, please tell me all they want is for him to provide guidance and experience on a peer level to vazquez, Monterey, romine et al.

Most likely they’ll bring him up in September to pinch hit against lefties. But its like replacing Andrew Jones with Andruw Jones.

sadly, thames probably has a better chance of getting significant playing time with the yankees than montero because he’s the all important “proven veteran”
