Cardinals manager arrested for DUI in Florida - Could not have happened to 
a nicer guy. I said over on Draft Day Suit that I am smugly amused, since LaRussa is always protrayed as being one of the smartest managers in baseball (because he is a lawyer?) and now he does perhaps the dumbest thing I can think of, falls asleep in his car after drinking. Duh

DuhA Scouting report on Roy Hobbs - courtesy of Rob Neyer at ESPN, here is an excerpt:
Strengths: Prodigious power. … Sweet left-handed swing generates unbelievable bat speed for a fairly small man. …Saw him hit the cover off the ball … Can’t throw a fastball by him … When he’s locked in, there seems no good way to pitch him. … Generally a pull hitter, but shows awesome power the other way. Hit the left-field clock in Chicago. … Hits righties and lefties equally well … Plus-plus arm in right field. May have been a pitcher. … Plays the game hard.
Cashman: Yankees won't sweeten pot to retain A-Rod - Good to know the GM is not going to overpay, and make A-Rod decide what he wants to do next year. If he wants to stay in New York, then honor the 3 years remaining on his contract, and also who do the Yankees have in line to replace A-Rod at 3b next year if he flees?
Who's on First? - Will Doug Mientkiewicz be the the worst hitting Yankee first bagger ever? A very good question, but what are the other options?

Who else do the Yanks have that can play first? Slim pickins I believe.
Whit,
The Yanks have Andy Phillips, a 30-year old younster, and Josh Phelps a Rule 5 pickup from TB.
My Guess is dougy will be gone by the all-star break.
