Re: A-Rod opts out of contract
I love how people are like ZOMG Yankees lost Arod...destined to finish last in division for next 10 years.

Re: A-Rod opts out of contract
Triumph,
Assuming they get a replacement level third baseman it's 10 wins. Hughes + Joba should add a lot. Edit: But running bad or a worse offseason can definitely turn them into that type of team. |

I realize he got injured, but injuries happen - and joba and hughes will be on strict pitch and inning counts all year. without a strong bullpen, the yankees will have trouble closing things out. |

[/ QUOTE ] Clemens, Desalvo, Wright, Henn, Moose, who else did we start that sucked balls..i know there were others. We lose Clemens + Arod which is like 35-40 million. Giambi comes off the books next year. Hughes, Kennedy, Chamberlain..essentially rookies yes but thye have showed they can handle NYC..short of bugs. And they are far far more talented then what we had previously. Add the Yanks aquiring thru trade or FO another solid starter/bullpen and I'll ride with that. Only way Rivera or Posada leave NYC is if they decide they no longer want to wear pinstripes cuz no one will offer mor money to them then Yankees. Yanks have already decided to pick up Abreu's option. |

Re: A-Rod opts out of contract
Our starting rotation in 09 could be(though not likely) Wang, Hughes, Chamberlain, Kennedy, Sanchez which costs us less than 1/2 of Arod's salary this year.
no Giambi, Abreu, Damon, Andy...jesus how much salary gone is that? |

Re: A-Rod opts out of contract
People are acting like losing Arod makes them a team that isn't a strong favorite to make the playoffs. Look at the absolutely awful pitchers who made so many starts last year, that and injuries was the reason we did badly for so long last year. Now Igawa, Desalvo, Pavano, Clippard, etc are replaced with Hughes, Joba, and Kennedy. Losing Arod hurts but team is still going to win soooo many games next year.

[/ QUOTE ] No, its more like ZOMG, the Yanks lost ARod, have alienated their free agents and are relying on a pitching staff of rookies and fifty-year olds. They could easily finish third. I know you're pissed that the Sox are winning and ARod left, but try not being a jackass. |

Yankees future outlook is greater than anyone besides Sox in our division. Mainly due to the wealth of talent we have pitching wise and the sick amounts of $$$ we will have to spend. |
