        Have the Yankees done it again? I mean giving up players
(particularly pitchers) who have done a good job for them in
return for name pitchers who have already had their best years.
I'm thinking Andy Messersmith, Ken Holtzman, Don Gullet and to a
lesser extent Jim (Catfish) Hunter. Maybe they'll trade for John
(Blue Moon) Odom - I hear he's available.

        I was sad to see them lose Ron Davis and now Joe Cowley
is gone. I also thought Ron Hassey did a great job filling in for
Butch Wynegar this year and now they are trying to get Carlton
Fisk. Gag me - sure Fisk had a good year, but those of us who can
remember Thurman Munson are having convulsions. Admittedly Hassey
is no youngster, but Fisk??

        So I'll forgive them (again) if Britt Burns turns out to
be better than last year's star pitching acquisition from the
Padres who punched out Billy Martin, but I had hoped for more
from Lou Piniella. At least he brought Roy White in as first base
and batting coach. So what is the story on Burns??
