Chase Utley

So, I’m watching Quick Pitch on the MLB Network this AM and they’re showing the highlight of Chase Utley hitting another one into Utley’s Corner last night.
And, all I can think of is: Man, if ever there was a swing made for Yankee Stadium, ala Nettles and Murcer (and perhaps Damon), it’s Utley.
Someday, some way, they have to get this guy to play in the Bronx. It may not be until the year 2016 and as a part-time DH/bench player. But, I would like to see what he could do playing a bunch of games in Yankee Stadium one season.
The seats in Utley’s corner offer a pretty fantastic view of the game, FYI for anyone who wants to check out Citi Field.
I do believe that the Yanks DH slot will likely be occupied by someone else in 2016. I don’t think the roster will be able to afford both A-Rod and Utley by that point.
A-Rod’s 9-year extension; the gift that will keep on giving.
10 year extension.
Sigh.
