If the Yankees keep Posada and Mo and sign Bonds they will be favorites in the East.

dunno about that, but they will definitely not be big dogs.


you guys are banking too much on joba i think. its not that i don't think he will be very good, but he doesn't have a massive sample as a starter in pro ball AND the red sox have buchholz to counter.

i think the NYY signing bonds is what can keep them up to speed.

i'm not 100% sold either, but more like 95%.

the yankees already have 2 guys whose fielding is so abysmal that they are DHs. unless they can somehow move giambi, where does bonds fit into this lineup?

Mo will probably sign a 2 year deal... in my original post i implied signing nathan for 2009 season and have him be setup guy for mo's final season... if he gets paid big i don't see why he wouldn't agree to this

Care to share some examples of established closers signing elsewhere to pitch as a set up guy?

so the NY will have two relievers that cost them over 20m a season in 08. nice.

also why is anybody thinking rivera is going to sign a two year deal? did he actually say that? if he didnt, then its a moronic assumption.
