1. Resign Posada and Mo

2. If andy wants to come back then let him, but don't hassle him if he wants to retire.

3. Giambi sucks and takes up DH time that can be used for Damon or Matsui. Trade him even if you have to pay a portion of his last year.

4. Melky Cabrera's not the long term answer in CF.

5. They won't get Santana.

6. Resign Arod but if he opts out and wants 28+ per year...then [censored] him and let him go to west coast

7. Trade Mussina to the NL.

8. When signing fr4ee agents..try to stick to under 30 years old.

9. Just wing it and go with Donnie Baseball as our manager

10. Andy, Kennedy, Hughes, Joba, Wang isn't so bad.

1. Please don't sign Jorge... He's the only catcher ever to improve at this age and i'm sure it's due to some type of steroid that he'll probably stop taking now since he's gonna get his big contract

2. Make sure pettite and MARIANO will resign before you can the manager (even tho I think he's an idiot)

3. Leave room for GIAMBI to play!!

4. Who are the best defensive CF's available

5. Get ready to trade for johan mid-season

[/ QUOTE ]

1. dumb. who else do you want to catch? you re-sign both george and molina, and you tell george to purchase a 1st baseman's glove for some occasional 1b duty (much like victor martinez this year)

2. mariano will be back. torre is awful. pettitte will probably retire.

3. no.

4. why? again, no. melky.

5. if it means giving up phil or joba, no. if it's just a rental, absolutely not.

2. Pettitte's unneccessary next year - I'd like to see him back, but the Yankees' rotation will be much different next season.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unnecessary? I really don't see how you don't bring him back.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hughes - Chamberlain - Wang - Kennedy - Mussina.

[ QUOTE ]
No way the Yanks can have Johan without giving up Hughes or Joba. Not in the off-season anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe, maybe not. The Twins are not exactly dealing from a position of strength here - Boston's not going to want Santana, and there's only 5 or 6 teams that could legitimately afford him. The Yankees should try to get him but only with the proviso that Hughes and Chamberlain cannot be included.

5. If they are going to trade for Santana, they should do it in the off-season. They honestly don't need Santana but if they can get him without giving up Hughes or Chamberlain (unlikely), they should - if he's signed longterm first of course.

You cannot have too much solid starting pitching. You never know who is going to be injured or what young phenom will go bust after his first trip through the league. Pettitte and Wang would hopefully be solid anchors for the young staff. I wouldn't overpay for Santana -- but leave the possibility open.

that's putting an awful lot of faith in 3 kids (1 of whom has some injury concern) and 1 old guy who fell apart this year.

I know that the Yankees have put more faith in their youngsters lately, but breaking camp with those 5 is too risky a move for a team with a $160m payroll or whatever.

I know he said he would consider it, but I can't see him doing it. Even if he leaves the Yankees, he has a few more large paychecks in his future. I can see him returning to Houston/Texas to be closer to his family, but retirement would be crazy.

When he signed the contract, there was a handshake agreement that if Pettitte didn't play for NY in 2008, he would retire. He said he wouldn't screw NY over by opting out and signing elsewhere.

If by Moose you mean Pettite. If Pettite walks, he walks. But if he doesn't we should trade Moose.
