Who Is Ishikawa, and When Did He End Up On Our Team?

The GoodOur pinch hitters came in swinging!  Overbay had a pinch hit homerun, and both Ichiro and Stewart got their hits as pinch hitters.  Pinch hitting is the way of the future.The BadA rain delay ended Phil Hughes chances of pitching deep into the game.  Warren pitched admirably in relief allowing 1 run over 3.2 innings, but that 1 run is far too many for this team.  Against this Royals team the Yankees mustered 1 run, on Overbay's pinch hit homer.  They lost 5-1.  It's really challenging to see the Yankees struggle so much to score runs.  The UglyThe Yankees picked up Travis Ishikawa, a left handed first baseman to play last night.  The move is baffling seeing as we already have a left handed first baseman on our roster in Lyle Overbay.  The Yankees strategy of building a winner by signing as many backup players as possible is interesting.  The quantity over quality approach may work well in some places, but it just isn't going to work here.Ishikawa Should Have Hit a HomerunOverbay did, and that's why he'll be our everyday left-handed first baseman.  That's $2 for the kiddos.Travis Hafner 12hr = $24Vernon Wells 10hr = $20Brett Gardner 7hr = $14Kevin Youkilis 2hr = $4Jayson Nix 2hr = $4Robinson Cano 20hr = $40 Ichiro Suzuki 5hr = $10 Lyle Overbay 10hr = $20Brennan Boesch 3hr = $6Francisco Cervelli 3hr = $6Chris Stewart 3hr = $6Ben Francisco 1hr = $2David Adams 2hr = $4Curtis Granderson 1hr = $2Mark Teixeira 3hr = $6Zoilo Almonte 1hr = $2Total 84 hrs = $168
