I like the new trend of specific team threads. Maybe the Yankee fans from this board can get together in this thread and talk about what is going on instead of the endless fighting that goes on in other threads. I am politely asking those who feel the need to endlessly hyjack Yankee threads to stay away. Maybe this can stop some of the MORONIC crap that goes on here. The bashers can bash away in other threads and Yankee fans can get to actually talk about the team in this thread. 
Now, NOT GOOD news about Posada's hamstring tendon. I read he is out for a "couple days" but a catchers hammy? Not good.

The Yankees have made it known that trading away the farm is a practice ended. While we don't have many major league ready guys besides Melky who has shown promise at 21 years old we do have alot of good young talent in the lower levels leading of with Phillip Hughes. Time will tell but the Yanks are looking to build with youth in the near future. I am happy about that at this moment.

I get to see the Yanks A ball team every year when they come to Ft. Myers and play the Twins A Miracle.
Last year they had a kid, Tyler Pelland. About 23 and he threw smoke. This year he's in AA at Chattanooga. 3-1 w/ 3.83 ERA, 47 IP.
I'd look for him in a year or two.
I agree, not only does he suck but i hope he does not even come in here.

I looked it up last nite. it took rose 10 and a quarter yrs. it has taken jeter 11 and a quarter.
Then it dawned on me that jeter missed almost 1/3 of a season a few years back so in reality it is less then a 1 year difference.
i did not do it with at bats.
Maybe later i will and report back with my findings.

I am a Phillies fan first and foremost ... but I grew up in the mid to late 70's (my influential years) liking the Red Sox and the Yankees. Go figure. Family relatives were the cause, but my Dad is a Phillies fan so there you have it. Phils over anyone, Red Sox over anyone but the Phils, and the Yanks .... well I really haven't liked them since Giambi - nothing personal about him, I just can't get into rooting for them anymore.
I think Gemmy had alot to do with that. Seriously.
and Arod ... no idea why.
In any event, it was the tales of Yankee history through the words of my Pop Pop that I think did it for me when I was a kid. There is no other team or has ever been another team that comes close to their success. He saw them all from Ruth to Mantle, and I always loved hearing his version of things. So I still remember those stories when I see the Yanks, and I know he would have been a huge fan of Jeter.
Getting back to the thread ...
Posada's injury is costly
I just heard that the tendon that Posada hurt is behind the knee and attached to the hamstring. Supposedly the tendon is not needed and in fact it is a tendon commonly thieved from the knee to do replacement elsewhere. The problem is it causes pain ..... interesting

What i did was the seasonhe actually got to 2000 I used his average for the yr.
in his first 10 years pete got 1922 hits, needing 6227 at bats.
the yr he reached 2000 r his average was 338
it is known that he needed 78 hits to reach 2000
using his average for that yr. it appears he needed 230 at bats
thus pete needed 6457 at bats to reach 2000 hits
as for games played it appears that Jeter and Rose needed 1500+ (almost the same)!

WinPitcher, great analysis on Jeter. Gosh, maybe if he stays healthy and plays into his early 40's like Rose did, Jeter can break Rose's record. Although, I hate the Yankees Jeter is a class guy. Heard on MLB.TV tonight that Jeter is only the 2nd Yankees since Gehrig to have 2,000 hits before the age of 32. He is in good company. But hey, he is not worthy of didly squat since Axtell says so.
I predict he will retire with more then 3000 hits.
Congrats to him.
Steve
rose played till he was what 44?
rose was a degenerate gambler that had to play cuz he needed money
jeter I would think does not.
I did not mean that he would breakdown

Today's crop of players, like Jeter, Bernie, Posada, even Arod ---- you really never gear anything bad about them....and I would suspect that the NY press would be able dig up something, if anything occurred.
JMO, but it is difficult to root against the players...heck, they all seem to want to win every game.....for example, Jeter diving in crowd after a fly ball last year.
Yep - tough to hate 'em as they do play hard....gotta respect em for that.....must be me mellowing with age.....

<< <i>Dallas. The entire Yankee team from 1995-2000 were tough to hate. That was before the Yankees tried to put a allstar at every position and stopped winning championships. Anyway, I really do wish the the days when I truly hated the Royals could come back. You know, Brett, Wilson, McCrae, Gura, Quiz ...... I HATED that team
I agree . . . . . really hard to hate those guys. That was when Steinbrenner has a semi-hands off policy -- too bad he did not stick to it.
I liked the Angels since I was living in California, but I could not get passionate enough with them. Since Jim Abbott left the team, it was not interesting anymore. On the other hand, the Yankees grew on me more and more with the rise of Williams, Jeter, Posada, Rivera and the additions of Boggs, Cone, Abbott, Raines, Sierra, Strawberry, Sheffield, Gooden.... Now with Mattingly retired from playing over 10 years ago, I am still hooked on the Yankees. The baton has been passed successfully with Jeter, Williams, Rivera, ....

soft,
This has always been my explanation to people when they ask me why I don't hate the Yankees. I always say how can you hate Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada or Joe Torre? These are classy guys. In fact, I have always felt that this generation's Yankees (well, outside of the odd Randy Johnson outburst) personify class.

I really enjoy the RedSox - Yankess rivalry. I work with alot of Yankee fans and we like to watch the games together and bust each others stones. But, it does get out of hand sometimes with some fans. I think fans are going too far when they are throwing things out on to the field. Or when a fan gets a beer poured on him/her for wearing a Yankees hat at Fenway park or vise-versa.
Its about time all RedSox fans start becoming Baseball fans, and not JUST RedSox fans!
I know your asking yourself, how can he like the Yankees and be a RedSox fan? Well,.... I am also a Patriots fan who likes the Dolphins

There were some amazing stories passed on to me from my best friends grandfather too. He was an old Italian guy who grew up directly across from Yankee stadium in the 20's and 30's. He would sit us down and talk to us for hours about the old days, and how Babe Ruth used to come out after a game, sign autos for the kids, buy hot dogs for the kids, play stick ball with him and his buddies, etc. It was just amazing to hear it all from someone who was there first hand.
I was only 5 when Guidry had his great year in 78, but that was the first year I can recall anything first hand. Being left handed myself, Guidry became my first Yankee hero until Mattingly came along and took over that title. I have had the pleasure of meeting both in my lifetime, Mattingly several times in fact, and he was always more than willing to spend a moment putting a smile on a young boys face.
No matter what team you root for if you are a true baseball fan it's hard to not appreciate the Yankees. If nothing else they have provided 100 years of history and legends for us all to talk about, watch, root for, against, enjoy, and remember.
-- Yogi Berra
I’ll start with this, if I had to start a team from scratch AND I had the pic of the litter, I’d take Derek Jeter. He is the epitome of a baseball player. The freaking guy does everything, I mean EVERYTHING right. There aren’t many players in baseball who make players around them better players, well, Jeter is one of those. He’d be a fit on any team. I respect him too much to hate him. Bernie is another, the Sox almost got him, but George wouldn’t have any of that, he signed him for 87 Mil. Bernie is simply full of class. And I’m sure you know, we LOVE Mariano in Boston, when was the last time you heard a Yankee getting cheered on opening day, come on ya gotta be honest, you know that was funny!!
I love a good baseball debate, no one is right, no one is wrong. Ted Williams was better than Joe D, Fisk was better than Munson, Rice was better than Jackson, Roger was better with the Sox than with the Yankees, Nomar better than Jeter (then) and the Sox will win the division this year for the first time in a decade.
So says me, for I am Red Sox fan.
<< <i>This thread is great reading!!! If I could throw in my own 2 cents here. First I live in Mass. so I am a RedSox fan. But I must say, the Yankees are baseball history. I will never forget seeing a game for the first time in the house that Ruth built. Yankee Stadium is a baseball icon. Also congrats to Jeter on 2000.

My best friend who I've known since before I can remember(We went to school together from k-12) is a diehard Red Sox fan. We've been busting eachothers balls since gradeschool. I'm from MD too so needless to say we were both fans of the minorities(O's fans are the worst, even though I love going to Camden Yards). But it's awesome, and non of our sports teams are the same. So he's not only my best friend we have a hella good time one upping eachother.

Bri-Great read from you by the way. My Mothers side came over from Ireland around 1904 and when my Mom was in High School the family moved out to NE NJ(About a 15-20 minute drive to Elizabeth, right next to New Brunswick) and my Grandpa would tell me story after story, we'd watch the Yankees play out on the porch during the summer vacations I spent up there. In fact everybody in his neighborhood(At the time, all elderly NY'ers and Garden Staters around 60-80) talked to me about the Yanks. We'd go around and help out the old widows in the neighborhood, bring them groceries and do yardwork for them. Nothing like meeting a woman as old as your grandmother who follows the Yanks more religious than anyone I've ever met in my life. In my family, your either a Yankees fan or you don't like baseball. It's that simple, in fact every Yankhater I've ever talked to(and boy theres a lot out there huh!?) 99% are fans of them; they just always root against them. Like I said, I grew up in Oriole country(The eastern shore of MD) and I remember as a youngster trying to buy Yankee cards at maybe 5-7 years old. Getting the reply "We don't carry Yankee cards here"; still makes me chuckle to this day.
I've never gotten a chance to meet a current/former Pinstriper; but if you ever see a skinny tall guy at Camden Yards with the Bosox in town wearing a Yankee cap right under the big screen...Yep thats me!
