I Have A Better Idea For First Base

Face it folks, Tex is done.

Sure, we'll wait 8-10 weeks and go through the drill again and again ( hitting off a tee, taking an xray, sending that blond woman who works the sidelines for an interview, etc), and maybe even give him an at bat in Scranton.

But we are kicking the can down the road, as the USA and the Eu do in economics with respect to their pending insolvencies.  Tex will need the surgery.  And the longer we wait, the greater the pain ( just as with the economics ).

Tex will wind up missing all of this season, and most of the next as well.

So here is my plan;  it involves a bit of a risk but little money.  By the same token, it will sell out seats and make the Yankees beloved, especially in the south:

I'l wager that within two weeks he"ll play first as well as anyone we have, and he'll never steal Jeter"s glove.

I believe that the cross-over rules would not require us to give the Jets a draft pick.

Glory, glory.
