August 6, 200322 yr They gotta clear waivers, don't they? Any interest in blocking the trade? Or too much cash involved for us? Forkit!
August 6, 200322 yr Damn. I woulda liked to have Benitez. We coulda gave em BOTCH.... Dude do u even watch baseball games? Benitez is worse than Koch.
August 6, 200322 yr They gotta clear waivers, don't they? Any interest in blocking the trade? Or too much cash involved for us? Forkit! Is this a done deal? Did he clear waivers?
August 6, 200322 yr Dude do u even watch baseball games? Benitez is worse than Koch. Same level, at the very least. Both big time chokers too.
August 6, 200322 yr Same level, at the very least. Both big time chokers too. Yeah i was being slightly sarcastic. I just couldnt believe someone was b****ing cuz we didnt get that chump. We dont need an overpaid set up man.

August 6, 200322 yr Nelson would've looked good in our pen. I assume he has big dough coming. He spoke up and got sent to the Yanks, same with Boone. What to do with Rick White????
August 6, 200322 yr I think this move was just made because Nelson opened his big mouth about Gillick not making a move. Well he made one now! CWSOX45
August 6, 200322 yr Yeah i was being slightly sarcastic. I just couldnt believe someone was b****ing cuz we didnt get that chump. We dont need an overpaid set up man. You mean, we don't need ANOTHER over paid set-up man
August 6, 200322 yr Jeff Nelson has been lights out for the Ms.....what a pathetic dumb move by the Ms Benitez sucks Wow, I am shocked The Ms management got revenge on Nelson for opening his mouth, but that is crap. Players should be allowed to say what they feel.
August 6, 200322 yr Players should be allowed to say what they feel. And they get kicked out as a result. See: Keith Foulke.
August 6, 200322 yr Benitez has some pretty impressive numbers I have to believe that Nelson is a ufa next year. After he spoke out of turn when the deadline passed (you wonder if he had spoken to someone the Yanks), you knew that if he was a ufa next yr they would try to deal him. Benito & cash for Nelson. Translation: NYY picking up the remainder of their contracts. The NYY just acquired a career 3.29 ERA with .222 opp BA. 2003: 643 OPS vs (589 vs RH, 729 vs LH). The M's just acquired a career 3.03 ERA with .188 opp BA. 2003: 648 OPS vs (563 vs RH, 725 vs LH). By looking at the #'s & Benito's 197 sv's over his career you can't blame the M's. I know Nelson has shown up in the playoffs over the years with the Yanks, but on paper the M's got the better player. Maybe this deal will come back to bit the Evil Empire in the arse.
August 7, 200322 yr did anyone saw this pr move by the yanks>>>>>>>>>>> Former stock-car driver and current car owner Richard Petty has formed a business partnership with the Yankees, The New York Times reported Aug. 5. One of Petty's drivers, Christian Fittipaldi, will drive a white Dodge with blue pinstripes and the Yankees' logo at the NASCAR Winston Cup race Aug. 10 at Watkins Glen, N.Y. "I'm just a good old Southern boy. But when you're talking about the Yankees, those are people you want to associate with," Petty, 63, told The Times
