Not sure where to put this but the Yankees hired Meredith Marakovits at the YES network version of Leslie Gudel

Jurrjens not only pitching badly but he's falling down on the mound like a drunk. Best rotation. 9 deep.

And Delmon Young goes deep. Seven runs vs. Jair -- he's stumbling and falling all over the place. And Gonzalez leaves him out there. Best manager.

Can't wait to see their panel.

They broke decimal ties with that player's 2012 ZIPS projection.

Good lord.

Why not just wait until opening day and rank all the players on an opening day roster or DL? There's only 800 or so. Why stop at the top 500?

Better yet, take every team's 40 man roster as of right now and rank the entire 1280.

The whole point of the exercise is to get people like you to watch.
