    Tino is a class act and a stellar glove. His love for being on the team gives him the incentive and hunger to reach deep inside himself and perform. He is a gutsy player and a clubhouse favorite. I am glad to see him get more playing time.

    Have you noticed Giambi fading gradually (in terms of playing time, not just ability)? Its hard to announce that a $120 million dollar player is a bench warmer, but I think the Yankees have better players in Tino, Sierra and Williams. They have no need for a steriod washed up player who cannot play anymore because his body went down. the Yankees are silently pushing him away.

    I have a better question: Who said that Brown was finished. The guy really just had terrible first innings and got effective after getting warmed up. Brown is not finished.

    Tino is a feast or famine hitter now, just like McGwire was as he hung on for 2 years too many.

    Both stayed around too long, and both are hitting well below .300 in their final years. It's easy to see they are done when 1/3 of their (far too many) hits are HR's.

    Tino should have retired 2 years ago...this will be his last year.

    What a bitter, bitter person you are. Tino batted a respectable .262 last year with 23 Home Runs in 458 at Bats.

    How many Mariners even came close last year?

    Wow we're admiring players with a .262 batting average now?

    Jeez I guess the standards for yankee fans really have dwindled huh?

    It figures, you change the subject and don't answer my question. I forgot to mention he is a great fielder too.

    Hmm who had a year like that for the M's?

    How about Ichiro, who set the single season hits record (a record which stood for over 80 years), and batted .372.

    But I guess you'll say 'he didn't hit 23 home runs!'

    Spammy you are impossible to have a debate with, because you are so blinded by your professed love (though I am still dubious) of the yankees means you cannot see ANYTHING great outside of NY.

    Good day to you sir. I am done trying to have any sort of reasonable conversation with you.

    Ichiro was obvious. Besides Ichiro, Boone and WHO?
