January 28, 200620 yr Nothing like a nice harmless topic to start a Saturday. The new jersey numbers for everyone have been released.

January 28, 200620 yr Author It'll be weird having a #2 not named Luis Castillo. Shouldn't be that weird, since he wore #1. I like how Olsen took Burnett's old digit.
January 28, 200620 yr It'll be weird having a #2 not named Luis Castillo. Shouldn't be that weird, since he wore #1. Pwned! I did mean #1 though, seriously. I wouldn't mind if Han Ram replaced Castillo's number.
January 28, 200620 yr It'll be weird having a #2 not named Luis Castillo. UH......STRIKE THREE!!!!! thats gotta hurt...
January 28, 200620 yr Odd and disgusting that they'd hand over Conine (19's still open) and Castillo's numbers so easily. I really thought both of those could at least be left vacant for the time being to decide what should be done with them. Even more interesting is that Resop switched from being #51 to #44 yet Olsen didn't want 51 (the number that he's worn throughout the minors) opting instead for AJ's old #34.
January 28, 200620 yr I like how Olsen took Burnett's old digit. I thought that was interesting as well. Going to suck though not having a 25 this year.
January 28, 200620 yr Treanor switched from 6 to 20... maybe Uggla asked him for it???? I don't know... but if memory serves, he wore 20 in the minors.
January 28, 200620 yr Also of interest is that Stokes has been given a "real" number (33). Perhaps he really will be getting a very long look in the spring.
January 28, 200620 yr Treanor switched from 6 to 20... maybe Uggla asked him for it???? When a player of Dan Uggla's stature comes around he doesn't even have to ask you to switch your number. You simply do it and apologize it took so long.

January 28, 200620 yr Who is Mickey Lopez, and when did we sign him? All I can find is that he's a 32 yr old 2nd baseman from the Mariners system?

January 28, 200620 yr Treanor switched from 6 to 20... maybe Uggla asked him for it???? I don't know... but if memory serves, he wore 20 in the minors. Actually, after doing some research, he wore 25 in the minors.
January 28, 200620 yr It's interesting they didn't dole out Lowell's and Delgado's numbers. Manager and coaches aren't listed here -- could be they are taken after all.
January 28, 200620 yr Im suprised Jacobs isn't wearing number 25...he seems to fit that power-hitting 1st baseman mold that usually wears the number
January 28, 200620 yr What number did Girardi wear with the Yankees? I think it was 28. EDIT: He wore 25 on the '97, '98, '99 Yankees.
January 30, 200620 yr What number did Girardi wear with the Yankees? I don't know what # he had with the Yanks but wasn't he wearing number 8 in his photos last fall. Coach Hill will probably keep 7. I agree with those that didn't like the team doling out the special numbers. One would think they would hold out a few numbers of the players no longer with us for a little while longer. To some of us those numbers are a connection to the good old days.
