All is quiet in Yankee Land

There was no real news out of the off day today. It looks like Matsui will still DH tommorrow with Molina catching but Girardi could DH Posada which I would do especially to protect A-rod. The other news of today is that the Yankees it appears will meet with international free agent Aroldis Chapman. If you don't know about him he is a 21 year old lefty pitcher who defected from Cuba during a tournament over the summer. It is believed he will want 40-60 million dollars. He throws 100 mph and is regarded as the best international player. It will be interesting to see what happens as all the big teams, Red Sox, Mets, Dodgers, Yankees are all interested. I have seen video of the kid and he looks good but you never know with these international free agents, they get the big money and then a lot of times don't do much of anything in the big leagues. A.J. Burnett did say today that a game like tomorrow is why he signed with the Yankees, it will be interesting to see how he reacts, as there isn't much pressure on him and maybe he will just come out and dominate but with him you just never know. I wonder also if the Yankees bats have awoken now and may do some more damage tomorrow night. The key to the game for the Yankees will be to get an early lead and take the crowd out of it and get the Angels to start pressing.
