    Tulowitzki becoming a Yankee is imminent at this point

    Guy has publicly stated he wants to play for a contender and Jeter has been a longtime Idol of his and Tulo has not been shy about making it all public. Considering signed for another 6 years and at the prime of his career I highly doubt the Yankees have the prospects and talent to trade for him. But given the right offer I definitely think the Rockies would let him go as it seems like Tulo just can't seem to stay healthy and his home/away splits are not consistent and his numbers are inflated from playing at Coors Field. Will be interesting to see if the Yanks will go after him right away or not.

    will Jeter move to 3rd base?

    Yankees could trade Greene, Sabbathia, and A-Rod and their #1 prospect

    that makes no sense... Tulo is 10X better defensively than Jeter but Jeter is still valuable as a DH/3B

    i would think if the Yankees are going to make a splash its NOW.

    why not send Jeter out trying to win a world series ring?

    With Tulo and once Tanaka gets back i see them as a contender.

    Well....for a couple of reasons like Tanaka is probably going for Tommy John surgery and you're not going to see him again until 2016 for one....and the other is Tulo is hurt also and he was in Philadelphia undergoing an MRI so there's no way the Yankees are going to have any of them on the roster anyways

    Not sure Tulo wants to play for the Muts...but they've decided to start getting an offer together

    Tulo is all about the dollar signs. He would probably in Iraq for the right amount.

    Great move for the Mets if they can get him.

    Obviously his numbers are inflated hitting in the Little League Field of Coors in Colorado...and that has to be factored in to him going anywhere. Not every player can play in the Bronx....some guys can flourish there....and some guys get chewed up and spit out like yesterday's garbage

    Pressure is what you make of it.
    Some players just zone get in a zone, feel no pressure, some gag on the thought of a must hit situation, like 2 down man on second third, team down 1 run.

    Mets GM now saying they are not willing to give up Syndergaard

    I think the Mets should as they already have enough young starting pitching.

    Mets are only a shortstop and 1 more power bat away from being a top contender

    Coors is #1 this year, by far, some of the others ranked on this list will surprise you.

    Mets are foolish, they can go to war next season without Syndergard, still start Harvey, Niese, Wheeler, Degrom, and Gee, with Tulo at SS.
    Wright - Tulo - Murphy - Duda infield makes them top 5 infield. Duda has emereged and arrived.

    shocked to see Target Field on that list. And how is Camden Yards last on the list? Might start blindly betting unders in their home games the perception in general is their a decent pitching team with power.

    Tulo would go apeshit in that Little League ballpark in NY. 81 games there is a stat padder compared to 81 in the Rockies.

    He won't go to the Yanks because his number #2 will be retired. He'd have to have a double digit number for the Yanks.
    By next year retired numbers will be.
    1) Martin
    2) Jeter
    3) Ruth
    4) Gehrig
    5) DiMag
    6) Torre
    7) Mantle
    8) Berra
    9) Maris
    10) Rizzuto

    People like to use "pressure" as an excuse for what is most likely just a roll of the dice. Haven't you guys ever played craps? Sometimes it seems like the roller is the reason that a seven isn't coming up, but any person of reasonable intelligence would know that it is all in our heads.

    Anyone who gets an honest to God case of the yips up at the plate or at the mound wouldn't be a major leaguer. Just another case of armchair athletes thinking they can do what some of the greatest athletes in the world can do. I don't know why this is a news flash, but yeah, you can't.

    I don't think people understand it's tougher to hit in New York than any other place in the world

    Intense media coverage plays a part

    Expected to win plays a part

    Hi expectations play a major part
