Wright and Womack

I cannot believe the Yankees signed Wright and Womack. This is freaking horrible.

Imagine you have some players on your team. Let's call them Jon and Miguel. Imagine they exceed all expectations, and put in some good solid service for your team. At the same time, imagine that there are these other two players, let's call them Jaret and Tony, who play their same positions, who are slightly, just slightly, WORSE than Jon and Miguel. NOW imagine paying more money for Jaret and Tony, for whom you have zero emotional connection, than you probably would have had to for Jon and Miguel, whom you've grown attached to.

George Steinbrenner is an idiot.

"Wright and Womack" sounds like a LOTR chapter title.

Which just begs the question...

Who would make the better Yankee: Legolas or Aragorn?

Saruman.

Nope. Wizards aren't allowed to play. Too powerful.

Though I love Aragorn like a brother, I'm going to have to go with Legolas here. I mean, if he can walk on snow and mount a galloping horse just by grabbing his neck, just imagine the kind of suicide squeeze he could lay down. Hoo boy.

And let me make this part clear: I would rather the Yankees give 21 million dollars to a fictional character who DOES NOT EXIST than give it to Jaret Wright. What a bad signing.
