2:02	Hey everyone. Now that the draft is over, we can finally talk about the major league team here. What's on everyone's mind?

2:02	[Comment From Alex K.] PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right? Oh wait, there are 102 games left. I was just trying to fit in.

2:03	Let's see what everyone thinks...

2:03	[Comment From Brooklyn Ed] Since the Yanks already expressed interest in Huston Street, what would be the ideal package for him?

2:04

I'm not sure, Joe and I were trying to figure it out. I'd have no problems parting with a McAllister type, but it'll take more than that I think. I usually try to come up with similar deals and see what kind of return they brought, but it's tough for this one. the Putz deal was a mess, and Ramon Ramirez wasn't nearly as established.

2:05	[Comment From Crazy] Who is your favorite player that that the Yanks drafted?

2:05	I'm an unabashed Gavin Brooks fan. Loved that pick.

2:05	[Comment From Stryker] who controls the RAB twitter? whoever was 'tweeting' last night was ready to murder girardi

2:06	The three of us all control it and tweet whenever we want. I think that was Ben though, he can get a little worked up from time to time.

2:06	[Comment From Reggie C.] We're all aware tha tHuston Street's 1.08 WHIP isn't a guarantee of success. But doesn't he represent the best upgrade for the 'pen?

2:07	I think amongst reasonably available guys, yes. His HR/FB rate is through the roof this year, more than double is career mark, so once that corrects he'll be even better. Young guy, been in the playoffs, +++ makeup.

2:07	[Comment From Jobamania] Am I the only one becoming very tired of Jeter leading off?

2:07	Maybe, I think it's worked out damn well. have you seen Damon's numbers?

2:07	[Comment From Hmmm] It seems as if Melancon has lost a lot of hype recently. Does he just need more polishing?

2:08

Nah, he's fine as is. This always happens when a guy comes up, struggles, then is sent back down. Half the fan base write him off as a bust, but in reality he's the same guy as always. He's struggled a bit in the minors, but that's a good thing. You learn more from that than you do crushing everyone out of the pen.

2:09	[Comment From E-ROC] What ever happened to last year's Girardi? Where did he go?

2:09	Same guy. The pen did well, so he was hailed as genius. Some of the bonehead moves though - pinch running Gardner then bunting him over? wtf - are frustrating as hell.

2:10	[Comment From THU] Who would you give up for Bobby Jenks?

2:11	Not very much at all. Coming into the year, everything was trending the wrong way, and I mean everything. K/9, HR/9, velo, the whole nine. Ticking time bomb.

2:11	[Comment From Anyone] Is A-rod bout to break out from that mini-slump?
