why?
idk, maybe it's a good time for them, but it seemed to me like they really only had the bones of a team last year, and signing a bunch of overpriced FAs hasn't worked for them in a while, right? i know there's some good talent out there, though. if any assclowns can make it work, it's the yanks.
thatw as that season. they did shed a fair amount of weight. theyre shedding grandy, youks, and mo this offseason. theyre also gaining $13 mill or so a year in rev sharing.
Keep it coming--the anti-Red Sox bitterness only adds to the sublime satisfaction that is ultimate victory...
well one's actually lived in the city of his favorite team. he may top me in ws victories, but at least i dont live in hickory where dante's and zaxby's are fine cuisine and hickory dickory dock is a great way to spend a weekend.
MANUAL BUZZERThe Yankees' farm system is mostly crap. I agree with phan that they are likely going to spend a shitload of cash in free agency. I don't see any way they let Cano leave, even if he gets offered stupid money by the Dodgers.
As for the Sox, I definitely hope they bring back Napoli. I don't want to see Ellsbury go, but someone else (Mariners? Cubs?) is going to offer him more years and/or dollars than the Sox will spend. I also wouldn't mind bringing back Drew and keeping Bogaerts at 3rd.
derek jeter's contract will pay for itself. it's like arguing a team made a bad signing for the 25th man.
the yanks are going to destroy any previous offseason records for spending this year. cano and kuroda are locks. i'm betting they get at least 3 of garza, choo, ellsburry, drew, etc.
except for the fact that jeter will start with no backup when he gets injured/isn't good.
jeter put up a better war 3/4 years over hardy prior to this year when he didn't play. jeter hate is overblown.
