***yankees official offseason thread*****

[Vyse]

Nothing in that article at all suggests the Yankees are in any position to get Tejada, if you actually read closely. What good MLB-ready OF prospects do they have? None. So....

LOL MELKY!!!!!...then they could be better at 3b and CF

Farnsworth plus either a close to ML ready pitcher or position player probably get us Tejada. Jose is years from being ML ready

yeah i'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you there.

the yankees would have to give up more than this for miguel tejada, and that .442 slugging percentage last year doesn't thrill me. as a third baseman tejada isn't looking all that great.

What if they play Tejada at SS and move Jeter to third? How many runs does that save?

I would love it in a couple years if they signed a good young SS and moved jeter to third... but for tejada this season... just so shortly removed from his GOLD GLOVES!!!!!!!!

for real tho, obviously it would be great if it happened now, but you gotta figure 2010 or later

[Rubeskies]

Melky for Tejada, Tejada to third, Betemit @ short, Jeter to CF FTW!

[Vyse]

The Yankees would have some really bad defense.

lol @ Melky for Tejada. Melky >>> Tejada.

For the yankees salary is not really an issue... Tejada +FA CF is much better than melky and betemit

They have a HUGE whole at 3b and plenty of money to spend... just because Melky is worth more per dollar and is younger shouldn't really effect the yankees that much...I'm for keeping top prospects like Joba and Hughes cano and kennedy (exception miguel "the beast" cabrera for the last two) but lets not go over board

Would someone please read this article from Hardball Times and tell me if it's some kind of joke? I always thought that was a good site, but now I'm not sure.

Highlights include trading Melky Cabrera, Wilson Betemit, Shelley Duncan and Darrell Rasner for Johan Santana, and starting the season with Pavano in the rotation and Hughes in Triple-A.

What's going on here? The trade proposal isn't even the biggest lol in the article. Pavano is probably out for the season after TJ surgery.

jtg51,

Just because someone at THT posted a crappy article, doesn't mean the site as a whole still isn't good.

Hughes and Joba and Kennedy starting in AAA to start season makes perfect sense
