Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Here are a few thoughts from some members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame on todays big game:

Cal Ripken Jr.: Green Bay, 27-24. They're both really solid teams. Hard to pick. End of the day the edge goes to the Packers offense by a slight margin."

Dennis Eckersley: "Packers 28-24 -- Packers defense can stop Big Ben easier than the Steelers can stop Rodgers."

Bill Mazeroski: "Pittsburgh,27-17. I think the Pittsburgh defense will shut down the Green Bay offense and will play a pivotal role in the outcome."

Yogi Berra: Green Bay, 23-20. The best team should win, and it could also be Pittsburgh."

Maybe he will become the Yankees next DH.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

The Michael Young situation is actually pretty interesting. Curious to see if he does indeed get traded, he been a very solid player throughout his career. The Yankees are on his to trade list, but I have no idea where they could stick him.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

He would be the highest paid backup in baseball on the Yankees.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Young has been very very good through his career.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

A lot of players list the big markets as no trade in their contract for the sole purpose of negotiating an extension if they are traded.
That said the yanks have no use for Young.
I think Posada will have a monster year at DH :2

MRI reveals Utley has tendinitis in right knee
If this gets worse for him and carries on through the season, it could be a big hit for the team.
