Comments on: He Going For Distance, He’s Going For Speed http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/2012/08/14/he-going-for-distance-hes-going-for-speed/ Development site for Bronx Banter Blog's upcoming look and feel Sun, 19 May 2013 06:50:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Jon DeRosa http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/2012/08/14/he-going-for-distance-hes-going-for-speed/#comment-286653 Jon DeRosa Wed, 15 Aug 2012 14:25:57 +0000 http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=90110#comment-286653 So it's obvious the Yanks would bring Kuroda back on a one-year deal at just about any reasonable price. The big question is do the Yanks sign up for 2 years on the strength of this excellent season? If all went well, the Yanks would be in great shape to achieve their budgetary goals in 2014 and still field a good team. If he fell apart at age 38 or 39, the Yanks would be screwed because they'd have to pay him and replace him. If they were up against the budget, they couldn't replace him with anybody expensive. The debate reminds me of the end of Mike Mussina's career. And though he had some stinkers, I think he worked out pretty well.

That was a high fastball close to 100 mph. Brought back memories of Brett-Goose. That was one to be proud of. And that home run that Swisher hit was no joke.
