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.

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.

That rotation would have talent, but if you start the season with that rotation I'd pick the Yankees for third in the AL East behind Boston and Toronto. Starting three rookies is a recipe for disaster.

I don't know how much stock to put into the "having rookies learn how to pitch, stay healthy, play in the MLB or in NY" idea, but if you put any value on that, having Moose be that guy would be horribly horrible and Pettite's the best option.

I think Pettite retires but I hate it.

1. Trade Hughes for Santana (I think Kennedy's a better pitcher anyway),

2.Melky is gonna be a great centerfielder once he gets a full season at the position under his belt( his numbers were pretty damn good, and defensifvly hes in the top tier already)

3. Resign Posada, and Riviera (theres no better free agents available)

4. 1st Base is a problem but I dont think andrew jones is the solution.

5. Next Years Hopeful Rotation should be Johan, Wang, Pettite, Chamberlain, Kennedy.

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

Totally fair. I was just making my one-of-the-other preference known.
