Can some people put forth some % guesses as to whether Pettite resigns with the Yanks. I have no idea.

thank god lowell stays with the sox.

the yankees now are free to look for 1B, CF, and backup C options, without too much pressure to sign anyone.

rundown of 2008 salaries

arod 27.5
posada 13
rivera 15
mussina 11
jeter 20
giambi 21
damon 13
abreu 16
matsui 13
pavano 11
igawa 4
farns 5.5
---------------
total 170 (geezuz-h) (edit: for 2009, pavano, mussina, abreu, farnsworth are off the books -- 43.5M. for 2010, giambi, matsui, damon -- 47M. for 2011, jeter's 21M is gone. that's $111M in salaries. only abreu and jeter will probably be resigned, hopefully at discounts. and of course johan can be added at 17.5M+.)

the rest being negligible (0.5 and less). that's 10 players, plus pavano and igawa, only one of whom has a shot at the 25-man roster.

cano, wang, hughes, chamberlain, kennedy, cabrera, betemit are locks to round out the roster at this point. that's 7 more players.

so say that's 18 players. between wang, hughes, chamberlain, kennedy, mussina and igawa, that's 5 starters and one BP/AAA guy.

possible minor leaguers : duncan, karstens, clippard, desalvo, bruney, brower, rasner, britton, veras, ramirez, ohlendorf

possible FAs : pettite, molina.

nice things are being said about austin jackson. he could be an interesting option for CF out of spring training.

The chances of Austin Jackson starting opening day in CF are about 0%. He had a good year in the minors, but only hit a whopping 11% of his balls for line drives and 13 HR split between A and A+. Now he's having a nice showing in winter ball. He is a premium prospect, just not one that's going to be starting 2008 in the show.
