Happy Bday.

Being a Mets fan... this Tino news is GREAT news.

First off... Tino (even though he is loved by Yanks fans) isn't near the player he once was skills wise.

But regardless... Tino will now probably start at 1st. This moves Giambi to DH... and Bernie back in center.

This then means the Yanks will probably be not as hot to pursue Carlos BELTRAN... which means Beltran could be coming to the Mets.

God I hope they plan on starting Tino at 1B for 162 games.

My Mother is happy again!! Her heart is beating faster and stronger than it has since he left. Now if she could ever see Girardi play again in pin strips I swear she would be in heaven!

actually from the reports i hear, and in the world of baseball, things change. If Giambi comes back, he and Martinez will share first base duties. And if they get Beltran, Beltran will be CF and Bernie moves to DH. Not sure what the plan is if Giambi does not return

Hey if this works out that the Yanks get lax in pursuing Beltran, and the Mets get him, I'm all for it. But from what I hear, the Mets are flirting with Beltran in order to get Delgado to make a decision.

I am so exicted! I love Tino! He was always my favorite!

According to the Yankee website, Tino will share first base with Giambi and be there if Giambi continues to have health problems. The Yanks want Beltran too bad to let this pass up the opportunity.

ETA: I forgot to say Happy B-day! What a great present!

Figures a Met fan would have to come onto my thread and try to put a negative spin on this

Bottom line- Tino is one of the most beloved Yankees of this generation. No matter if he is half the player he used to be or not, that is not the point at ALL. I know I speak for all of us that we welcome him back with open arms and hope that he brings back with him some of the magic that embodied the Yankee teams of the late 90s
