Davidoff's Latest: Sabathia, El Duque, Heilman

By Tim Dierkes [November 4, 2008 at 9:39pm CST]

A few notes from Newsday's Ken Davidoff, who has blog posts here and here.

C.C. Sabathia's agents met with the Yankees yesterday, among other teams. As you know, teams can only talk contract with their own free agents currently. Sabathia is certainly open to playing for the Yankees.
Orlando Hernandez not only wants to pitch in 2009; he wants to close. He's thinking big after missing all of 2008.
Davidoff gives a 10% chance of the Yankees re-signing Jason Giambi, and a 1% chance of re-signing Carl Pavano.
The Rays like Aaron Heilman, though not as much as they once did.

Klit Kommander has to be the best name on this site. Jay and Silent Bob are darn funny!

Can't agree with you on Giambi though. He's 38 years old, often injured, has lost any ability to hit for average, can't field, can't run, hit under two bucks with RISP and K's a lot. Yes, he hit 30 dongs...but we need to get younger and more athletic. Look at the teams that made it to the big dance!

Also, I LOVE El Duque'. He has to one of my favorite Yankee pitchers of all time. However....closing? He still has talent for sure...but he's actually what...47 years old? Not what he's listed as...what he REALLY is. Not sure if that makes sense...although a team really hurtin for a low-cost option at closer could do worse I suppose.

I still remember him pitching for the White Sox in the playoffs...coming in with the bases loaded vs the Red Sux and getting out of the inning scot free. When he's on, he's flat out filthy.

Is there any way to build a package for Edwin Jackson that includes Heilman? If not, can we trade him for a Scott Kazmir bobblehead?
