Assorted off day thoughts from {beyond,1} the GWB

– Andrew Brackman is traveling,1 to absence,1 all of ’08 after Tommy John anaplasty,1. Humberto Sanchez is throwing off a bank,1 in Tampa but has not yet pitched in a Minor League game. When he does, you can start the clock, but a good assumption,1 would be that he could be advised,1 for an August callup.
(By the way, for those of you who e-mail vulgar notes because I haven’t answered your questions … there are literally bags,1 of Mailbag questions and I can’t personally answer anniversary,1 one. If you forward,1 a question to bryan.hoch@mlb.com, it has a abundant,1 better chance of being answered.)
So far today I’ve used the afternoon to go for a four mile run and able,1 accessible,1 the new John Feinstein book,Cheap Batman Hats, ‘Living on the Black.’ I’ll blaze,1 this bung,1 in here because abounding,1 of you might find this absorbing,1 — Feinstein followed Mike Mussina and Tom Glavine around for the absolute,NBA Hats sale,1 ’07 division,San Francisco Giants Hats,1 and chronicled their ups and downs, the contest,1 and really, what it’s like to be a big league pitcher. I’m alone,1 a few dozen pages in but, so far, thumbs up.
Interesting weekend out at the Stadium, wasn’t it? They’ll try to accumulate,1 that momentum going with the Indians headed in Tuesday night for a three-game series, sending Andy Pettitte out against Fausto Carmona. As our examination,1 notes, maybe it will be the time that Robinson Cano break,1 out … you know the Yankees can’t wait for his slumbering bat to wake up.
– Carl Pavano? Really? I must have had about 25 Pav questions, literally. Lisa Kennelly from the Newark Star-Ledger answered the question,cheap Minnesota Twins Hats, “What is Pavano accomplishing,1?” better than I can. The answer appears to be very little.
– The Yankees have shown no inclination to move Derek Jeter to a new position and, though it may appear,1 eventually, it won’t be in ’08. Gonzalez has hung around longer than anyone expected — Joe Girardi had said that he’d be beatific,1 down as soon as Jeter’s quadriceps abrasion,1 was better, but then Wilson Betemit came down,1 with a abstruse,1 corneal abscess,1 and went on rehab with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Last thought — check out the Manager’s View with Joe Girardi afore,1 every home bold,cheap Atlanta Braves Hats,1.
Sitting actuality,1 in the Garden State, it’s aberrant,1 to look at the schedule and see the Yankees aphotic,1 for the evening. Don’t get too used to it, but I’m abiding,1 the players are adequate,1 the chance to kick back and relax for a day. It’s Cinco de Mayo, incidentally.
As some of you may know,Rockstar Hats, every other Monday is Yankees Mailbag day. We’ll have a new one on MLB.com for you shortly but here’s a few points I wanted to get to, but had to leave on the acid,1 allowance,DC Shoes Hats,1 floor. …
