Nice going for McCutchen being the cover guy for the GOOD baseball game. neither hold a candle to the MVP series. Shouldn't that exclusive license be wrapping up soon?

The exclusive agreement is expired actually. But EA's holding off on reintroducing it until the next MS and Sony consoles come out.
But I think the recent Show games have eclipsed even MVP 2005.

Man, feel bad for Arizona. They could've had Taijuan Walker who is arguably one of the best pitching prospects in baseball. Ouch. Being a life long Mariner fan I have to thank Upton for blocking the trade

Reports say the mets are interested but I highly doubt the mets offer a package close to the mariners package since it will most likely be Wheeler/Flores/Mejia/c+ prospect and I feel confident in saying Wheeler is untouchable.

Nobody is a lock anymore. The secret many of the people who vote haven't written about baseball in more than 10 years. That's what one voter said in the San Francisco Examiner, while on his torch-and-pitchfork rant about the whole voting process being a sham and BS. "The ones who vote attended maybe 15 games in the past 10 years...and they spend more time talking with fellow scribes (in lieu) of actually watching the game." *** My feeling is this (and I said this a couple of years ago): If Greg Maddux isn't a first-ballot HOFer next year, then the whole process is warped. (I can understand if Frank Thomas isn't voted in on the first try. He had a good 9 years, then his bicep injury caused his game to drop considerably. He'll get in, just probably not on the first or second vote. Frank is in my top five of greatest hitters I've ever seen. The man had a presence at the plate and a great eye for the ball. You stopped what you were doing when Frank came to bat.)

Yeah. For a top OF I would make almost everybody available but not Wheeler. He just seems like a star. d'Arnaud is the only other guy. If he where any other position then catcher I would but dammit, all our catchers after Piazza sucked (and even Mike's last year's here were awful.)

It's moot anyway as d'Arnaud is one of the best catching prospects in baseball. He will hit .275 with 20 homers and be above average defensively.

Yankees: C- Chris Stewart 1B- Mark Teixeira 2B- Robinson Cano 3B- Kevin Youkilis (still feels weird to type) SS- Derek Jeter LF- Brett Gardner CF- Curtis Granderson RF- Ichiro Suzuki DH- Erm, uh... Bench: C- Francisco Cervelli, Austin Romine Utility- Eduardo Nunez No clue on anyone else. Melky Mesa as an OF I guess. Rotation: CC Sabathia Hiroki Kuroda Andy Pettitte Phil Hughes Ivan Nova Bullpen: Mariano Rivera David Robertson Joba Chamberlain Boone Logan Cody Eppely David Aardsma
