Small Ball and Signing Melky

I'd gladly take back Melky on a small 1 or 2 year deal.

The Melky/Cano thing is silly and ridiculous, Cano hit .342 playing with Melky. His power numbers of course went up when they moved into the new Stadium and Cano matured, that had nothing to do with Melky leaving.

wasnt that the year he hit ten or eleven homers by mid may and did literally nothing the rest of the season?

JUST what we need another over paid STEROID junkie - We still owe A-Roid 114 Million big ones . . . .

Give everyone juice again. I miss Bonds hitting 70 hr and getting intentionally walked with the bases loaded.

Actually, just sign bonds to DH. I bet he still hits 40 in YS!

I think this top of the line up makes the most sense for next year.

Also, if NY can sign Melky back that would work out really well. Nobody is talking about this, but it could be an awesome move and he could really help the team plus provide insurance for when Gardner inevitably gets hurt as usual.

Yeah, right. No thank you. :facepalm:

This way, if he is not caught, he has a monster season and if he is caught, the Yankees don't have to pay his salary for 50 games or more.

If i was AROD i would definitely chance it and take the juice, i mean at this point in his life who cares if he gets caught, its a risk i would take, he has plenty of money, what's 50 games??? it helps the Yankees in both aspects, if he doesn't get caught he will be hitting the ball lights out and help the Yankees win, if he gets caught who cares the Yankees don't have to pay his salary for 50 games... A no lose situation either way.. GO AROD
