This time, you're wrong, El Duque. Russ Canzler is the Dooley Womack of the current free agent market. Like Dooley Womack, he's a franchise player, a fearsome presence in the dugout. The sight of Russ Canzler in the on-deck circle will unnerve even a Cy Young winner. His acquisition promises a return to the dizzying standards of 1966-1968, the era in which Mantle, with Dooley Womack on the mound, hit his 500th home run. Welcome Russ Canzler to the soon-to-be (again) World Champion New York Yankees!
