He got our only postseason win since 1988.

 

the Fan was talking about a possible Milledge for Vidro trade.

 

? The White Sox nearly wound up with Carlos Delgado instead of Jim Thome. When Cashman inquired about Chicago center fielder Aaron Rowand soon after the World Series, White Sox GM Kenny Williams told him he didn't think the Yankees were a good fit for a trade -- unless they obtained Delgado from Florida. Cashman worked out the parameters of a deal with the Marlins, but the three-way deal fell through when the White Sox then insisted the Yankees pick up a large chunk of Delgado's contract.

? Alan Nero, the agent for catcher Bengie Molina, insisted Molina was prepared to sit out the season -- at least until a team was forced to find a catcher because of injury -- before Toronto offered him $5 million. That's still far less than the $18 million over three years that Mets GM Omar Minaya offered Molina before suddenly trading for Paul Lo Duca. Nero miscalculated Minaya, who likes to move quickly.

"I don't know any agent who faxes back a 'yes' right after being faxed a proposal," Nero said. "I said to Omar, `When you got married, did you send out four or five different proposals?'"

story on Yankees that the above is from.
