Just plain dumb, Robby.

Yankee fans have been complaining for years about not re-signing him. Still upset you?

Robby beat out his old buddy Melky who was only suspended for 50 games.

He was a bit of an odd player on the Yankees. Came across as a lazy malcontent a lot of the time, which was a big reason why the team didn't make a great effort to keep him.

The timing of this announcement is suspicious to me. He just went on the disabled list after breaking his hand, and was going to be out for six weeks or more anyway ... so I wonder if MLB just sat on this news because they didn't want to suspend a star player.

Well, we were very upset at losing him... and at having the lead anchor Jacoby Ellsbury hung around our neck with the money that would have been saved. Holy Cow, was Ellsbury a terrible free agent, among the worst in history!!!

But, the whispers among Yankee fans was that the Yankees had let him slip away because he was known to be a doper. I was never sure that they didn’t just whisper that to placate the outraged mob, especially when the Yankee offense was so terrible. (The anger subsided with Sterling Hitchcock’s ascent.) Now it looks like it was real.

Frankly, apart from the Ellsbury fiasco, it seems like the Yankees handled the Cano situation right: ditch the doper, and quietly and locally explain why in a way that won’t slander him to his new team.

Is Hector Gomez related to Pedro Gomez, the lispy ESPN reporter who seemed to have a one-way lust affair with Barry Bonds back in the day?

...he says the “substance was given to [him] by a licensed doctor in the Dominican Republic...

Maybe he should play down there.
