Thank you all for pulling for Todd. Today was tough – he was taken off the respirator to be put back on 10 hours later. But it was for the best, he just was not quite ready. However, while he was awake we discussed the line-up through nods and shakes since his throat was too sore to speak clearly. Damon, Jeter, Nady, Alex, Matsui…I reminded him about Teixeria and he was very pleased again. I check in here every couple of days to stay on top of the baseball news. -Marsha

[26] Thanks. I hope you’re right about Melancon and a full year of Joba in the rotation. At least now they’re making the commitment to him being there for a full season. I’ll ask our friend at BP, Will Carroll, about this, but I believe the mid-season shift in priority was responsible for his shoulder problems.

[22] Great minds think alike, right? Sorry I beat you to the punch. … [24] and apologies for coming off as agist. I dig the syntax, but not the excessive exclamation points or question marks (slight pet peeve). We’re good. I dig the syntax, and your comments. Always solid.

[14] To borrow monkeypants’s optimist glasses and apply them to the bullpen, just wait until you see Mark Melancon, Will. And what Joba does as a starter. Then let us know what you think about where Joba belongs. =)

In any case, your overall point is spot on: its going to be awfully interesting in the AL East this year.

[19] He’ll get two years + an incentive or option third year, that’s my prediction.

[12] Good points, both. Putting on my GM hat, I don’t believe in giving more than 2 years and a third-year option, under any circumstances, to a pitcher above Age 33.
