Cash On Joba, Edwar & Miranda

From Eli of MLB Rumors -

Many have been talking about Joba Chamberlain and whether or not he will be in the rotation or back in the bullpen, where had most of his success. Cashman told me that "he is probably just starting his throwing program...I'm sure he is doing fine. He has always prepared as a starter, even during the last two months of the season." First base seems to be up in the air right now with the Yankees, so it brings up the possibility whether or not they will give Juan Miranda a shot: "He finished at Trenton. [He was] fantastic, he did really well. He is certainly pushing himself up the ladder in our organization, and the industry." Finally, many were wondering whether or not pitcher Edwar Ramirez would get a shot at cracking the bullpen, and Cashman told me that "he will definitely compete, no question about it. He was asked about quite often in trade discussions..by the end of the day, he is going to have a lot of opportunities." The Yankees could be entering a new faze where younger players begin to take over. However, they are still going after Ron Mahay, and are looking into the possibility of LaTroy Hawkins and Octavio Dotel.

Who is Eli? Wasn't that what Roger Clemens used to call David Wells?

Interesting stuff here, if true.

Get Nick. The Nats.have too many outfielders.
The idea that D. Young can play the outfield is laughable.

Nick, for what? The disabled list? A walking injury, what Nick is.
