Football season is finally over and I’m just thirteen days away from making the trip down to Spring Training. I was rooting for Peyton Manning and the Colts in the Super Bowl. I thought the Colts were the better team, as did most people. Like most people, I have to admit I was wrong. New Orleans winning is a great story that the whole country can appreciate. Peyton played great, but Brees was better and the Saints were the better team. Even though he lost, this one game doesn’t tarnish Peyton’s legacy. Peyton is still an amazing quarterback.

I’m going to be down in spring training the whole time. I’ll be there to offer my support & help the guys out any way I can. Spring training will help the team get re-focused. It’s good that they have guys like Jeter, Girardi and Cashman to lead the team because they know what it takes to win back-to-back. It will make for an easy adjustment for some of the new faces.

I hope to posting close to once a day during spring training so keep reading if you want my view on how the team is shaping up this spring.

I met Cody Ransom before he was a Yankee, at a dinner in Texas for the Round Rock Express (a triple-A team in the Astros’ system owned by fellow Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan). Cody was given an award for his outstanding play during the year 2007. At the time I thought he’d be a good fit for us. Little did I know.

You might not be familiar with his name yet, but Yankee fans are going to get to know Cody in the next few months. With ARod down he’s getting alot of playing time at third base. I gotta say he’s looking pretty good so far. To this point in camp he’s impressed me with his professionalism and focused approach to defense and offense.

I can’t believe that this guy can still get a job. Can anyone tell me why an owner would want him on his team?

Is he a team player?

Does he make the people around him better? Does he effectively lead in the lockerroom?

Is he getting any younger, any better?

What am I missing here? Can someone out there help me with this?

Hit me back
