Josh Hollingsworth

Josh Hollingsworth played in an Independent League last year before being picked up by the Yankees on July 30, 2005. And, then he played 18 games at Tampa last year.

You have to wonder why the Yankees would pick up a player like this considering his age - he'll be 26 this season. Do they think that he could be a utility player at the big league level some time this season?

It will be interesting to see if he gets any time in the big league camp this Spring - while Jeter and A-Rod are off at the WBC games. (Josh plays SS and 3B.) If he does well, he might force himself into the 25-man roster picture.

Derek Jeter being interviewed right now on Mike and the Mad Dog.

They asked about CF and he laughed it off saying, in so many words,'No'.

Don, has Francesa somehow brought up his relationship with Parcells yet? (Perhaps by comparing Parcells to Torre)

Is it true that Tyne Daily has been cast to play Mike in the movie version of the "Mike and the Mad Dog" movie?

Steve, that is without a doubt the funniest thing I've read in a while. I never realized it but the similarities are uncanny. It's only too bad that Sharon Gless can't play the Mad Dog.

MJ, I can't look at one without thinking of the other. FWIW, if Sean Hayes can play a young Jerry Lewis, he should be able to do Mad Dog too.
