Swiss Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 JUST SAY NOMARBy GEORGE KING December 13, 2005 -- Three years ago the odds of Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Nomar Garciaparra together in the Yankees' infield were as long as a Beatles reunion.Today, it's moving toward even money. That's because the Yankees are considering signing the 32-year-old Garciaparra to play first base.While GM Brian Cashman and agent Arn Tellem refused to confirm or deny an offer has been made by the Yankees to Garciaparra, several industry sources indicated an offer has been made."I can't say anything, I can't make any comment other than to say a number of teams have expressed interest...SourceOh man, that is very ugly!

Cujo Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 The Yanks could also add Tejada and they would still choke in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep... now-a-days, the odds of Nomar staying healthy are as long as a Beatles Reunion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Yeah, this is ugly. Wouldn't Nomar make a better 2nd baseman than a 1st baseman anyway? I don't think this is going to happen, but you never know, the Yankees probably will pay him soo much more than everyone else. It's sad to see how things have gone for Nomar over the past few years. From the press saying how he ruined the Red Sox, and how he doesn't care about the team, to all the injuries. Asks the question...is this once great player still a hall of famer?

GeorgesL Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Every superstar wants to play for the Yankees......If Nomar goes, and that's a pretty big "if", I'm curious to find out where the new string of playoff disappointments would rank, maybe higher than that 2004 ALCS.Last time I checked, a previously-cursed team won a World Series.

HAHA joel_fiasco... but seriously, Why does the Yankees have to be so competitive and try to kill everything that would be more leveled off for teams such as Minnesota, Toronto, and others so they can be in the playoffs with the highest payroll?? geez The Yankees's owner needs to think lower salary cap range and be able to compete equally among the other MLB teams eh? Oh and think abuot what happened to the Montreal Expos and maybe in the future the Toronto Blue Jays?Just my opinion as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now let the other teams have a good shot at the World Series.... just my opinion on that eh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcgd Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 The funny thing is this was a joke about 5 years ago that the Yankees could end up with all the elite shortstops on their infield.Now the only joke is that they'll probably pay about 8 million a year for Nomar.
