Kinda sick to read. But it'll be close in 08.

But whatev...

But this puts me on such ever living tilt. Is last year his [censored] career year?!? Is he ever gonna improve? I don't care if he has a goofy thug name (then again Johan is pretty clowny as well...). Just let him sit out in CF and be a career yankee and hope he's the 4th best Yankee CFer of all-time.

Why would it get worse? He's not in his prime years.

i was assuming he'd bulk up a little with age... it's not like he's a skinny guy

bad assumption?

Kosuke Fukudome could be an option to replace Melky in CF. I obviously don't know a hell of a lot about him, but I've read that he's a similar offensive player to Hideki Matsui and he's a very good right fielder who can play center field. I think I read somewhere that he's looking for 3/$30M. Take all of that with a grain of salt.

A-Rod was an A free agent, Posada was an A free agent and Rivera was an A free agent. Pettite is an A free agent. We've already signed 3 and are trying to sign a forth in Andy. What was the rule again about not being allowed to sign more than 3 A free agents this year? Will it have an impact on us if we need to sign Rowand or something?

Young players improve defensively normally, they don't regress.

Why are you so in love with ROWAND? You think Melky at 23 is going to get worse next year, but ROWAND at 30 isn't? WTF?
