ONE FINAL WORD ON TEIXEIRA

Picasner does not understand the Yankees apparent lack of interest in Mark Teixeira. This is definitely a man with all the tools: Great defense, switch hitter, power hitter, good on-base percentage, he's young and a great clubhouse presence. What's not to like? Here's the best argument. If the Yanks get him, then Boston doesn't.

The Yanks could always sign Manny if the Teixeira doesn't fly and they may sign him anyway since they need someone to protect A-Rod. Boston won't sign Manny and could be hurting, since it's thought that Ortiz is on the slide and Lowell is coming off surgery. Is Picasner the only one to see this logic?

I might have almost given up on Sabathia to go this route. Time will tell.
