Vibrations when hitting with an aluminum bat kills my hands and makes me wear batting gloves, to hopefully dampen the vibrations, but are ineffective and makes me feel uncomfortable when hitting.

If I put cork in the barrel of the handle it should help.

So far, their moves haven't made a whole lot of sense to me...trading away Josh Barfield, signing Greg Maddux for $10 million...I am puzzled. I don't think they have upgraded anywhere except MAYBE third base.

Would you rather? Throw out the years on the contract and just say based on the amount per year. Who would you have signed?

Jason Schmidt 15.6 million a year
Andy Pettitte 16 million a year
Alfonso Soriano 17 million a year

Pettitte Agrees to Return to New York
Pitcher Left Yankees Three Years Ago for Houston
By RONALD BLUM
AP Sports
NEW YORK (Dec. 8) - Andy Pettitte is headed back to the New York Yankees . Could Roger Clemens be next? Pettitte and the Yankees reached a preliminary agreement Friday on a $16 million, one-year contract, a deal that reunites the two-time All-Star with the team he helped to win four World Series titles.

The 34-year-old Pettitte pitched for the Yankees from 1995-2003 and went 13-8 for them in postseason play. The lefty spent the last three years in Houston and, joined by Clemens, helped the Astros reach the World Series for the first time in 2005.

Pettitte was 14-13 with a 4.20 ERA last season and joins a Yankees rotation that includes Chien-Ming Wang, Mike Mussina and Randy Johnson . Carl Pavano, sidelined by injuries for 1 1/2 seasons, hopes to return next year, and the Yankees also have the rights to sign Japanese left-hander Kei Igawa. The Yankees have not made it back to the World Series since Pettitte left, plagued by inconsistent pitching, especially in the postseason.

Since MLB has a Cy Young award for best Pitcher,why can't they have a Ted Williams Award for best hitter and then have MVP for a playoff team's player??

I know Lance Berkman has been dubbed the "unofficial" team captain, I was just wondering if they had an "official" one. I would imagine that it'd be either Berk or Craig. I know it was Jeff when he was around.

What is going on with this off-season?
The only good contract inked this off-season, from a GMs perspective, is Jason Schmidt’s 3 year, $47 million… and even that is expensive.
Some of the other contracts are laughable, at best:
Gil Meche, five years, $55 million
Ted Lilly, four years, $40 million
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, because now that the market has been set by the early signings, the price for talent will only shoot up.
Someone shine some light on this…

I'm hoping he stays but who will get benched? Wily Mo Pena is good and so is J.D. Drew. Coco Crisp and Manny Ramirez are also good. Will there be a trade concerning one of these players? Are the Red Sox trying to sign Eric Gagne since they are lacking a closer?

Let's face it, playing for for the Yankees is like being promoted into a whole new level of baseball. Only the truly great ones can still excell. So, if a player never plays for them, how do we know?
