and sign brand lyon
we would be stacked for the draft and pitching whould be lights out.

Hopefully Yanks dont sign Andy.
They need to go after Dempster.
Try to trade Melky and Matsui.

nice! i don't think their pick is protected. pettitte would more or less rape back in the nl, so it really doesn't matter

"He is what the yanks should do not will do"

huh?

Lowe, you had a nice year, congratz! but you don't want to come to New York. trust

Great. Offer Pettite arbitration. If he rejects thats good because they get 2 picks. If he accepts its not bad for 1 year.

The Rockies dont want trash for Holliday. They could do alot better.

hay i dont want the yanks to trade prospects we cant make the same mistakes over and over again

borat

then why not just sign C.C. and Teixeira? Much more logical, eh?

we will lose picks then
im fine with tex but cc arm will fall off he can pitch in the al anymore

zrosey21; good except:

1. let abreu walk for picks; nady's d will be so much better you won't need stats for it. no 3 yr deals for 35 y/o's any more

2. moose or Andy, pref the prior

3. I'm up for getting Juan Rivera and plug him in left to shift Damon to center to get the offensive superiority about 2/5 days

You are not smart, borat.

A) Let's sign Lyon - why? He had a 4.70 ERA in the NL WEST this season. He will want a multi year deal, dumbstuff to sign him.

Molina is not a free agent this year...where ar eyou getting this from?

Dempster has had one good year in the SP role - but let's give him 13 mil a yr to come to the best hitting in baseball.

Giambi is a .240 hitter that will give you 30 HRs. He is 37.

But of course, we should give him the 3 yrs he wants.

1 year ok, no more than that.
What I think they should do..

Sign CC or Burnett, not realistic to think they will get both.
Thats gives you CC, Wang and Joba. Then sign either Moose, Pettite or Lowe and let Hughes have the 5 spot. If we are gonna hold onto him, they are gonna use him.
The only position player they need is Teixeira. The lineup would be
Damon LF
Jeter SS
Tex 1B
Arod 3B
Posada C
Nady RF
Matsui DH
Cano 2B
Gardner/Melky CF

When you have 1-8 hitters like that, it does not really matter if #9 hits 240. Id like to see Gardner given a shot, he plays very good D, can bunt and can run like the devil. He might end up being a singles hitter, but those singles will turn into doubles real quickly.

The pen can be left alone, Veras, Ramirez, Bruney, Coke, Aceves, Guise, Robertson, Sanchez...we can find success with some combination of those guys and if they can keep Marte, its even better. Mo of course is Mo.

ZRosey's plan would add (my guesses in annual salary):

-- CC Sabathia ($25m)
-- Mark Teixeira ($18m)
-- Mike Mussina ($12m)
-- Andy Pettitte ($12m)
-- Bobby Abreu ($14m)
-- Damaso Marte ($5m)
-- Burnett/Lowe ($16m)
-- Holliday ($13m) / Manny Ramirez ($23m)

Starting at the $145m figure that Tim provided you would add $125m (assuming Manny instead of Holliday) to that salary. Your new payroll - $270m. And you still don't have a catcher. Looked at another way - those signings alone would be the 2nd or 3rd highest payroll in baseball by themselves.

Zrosey is exactly why people are all over absurd Yankee fan proposals.

Astros better not sign Pettitte for tons of money that we should be spending elsewhere, while giving up another Phil Hughes. I think Ed Wade deserves some credit for once from you people. He did basically build the championship team from this year. We should possibly go out after Wolf, but dont expect for him to sign.
We get a draft pick for the guy. Loretta and/or Brocail could also net us a pick. Astros should be settling arbitration cases and clearing space for the Rule 5 draft. I think Backe will bounce back, despite his recent run in with the law. If I recall correctly, Pedro Martinez shruggled with his velocity and control after his Tommy John surgery. Just 3 years ago Brandon Backe was pitching gems in the playoffs. I think we should try to sign two low based incentive pitchers. I just dont like the idea of losing draft picks like Phil Hughes, given Hughes is overrated because hes a Yankee. Go Astros. We'll pass on Pettitte.

besides if they resign pettite, mussina, and abreu! it'll all be for less...dumba$$

rosey, you are obv a red sox fan, and i am calling you out. the most obvious reason why you are a red sox fan besides teh 270mm payroll; you have Joba in the bullpen.

Did him owning beckett make you that jealous?

and what kind of a name is rosey? lyrics to sweet caroline?

"SP CC Sabathia
SP Chien-Ming Wang
SP AJ Burnett
SP Mike Mussina
SP Andy Pettitte"

Cash and Co. have already said that Jobas going to be in the rotaion. so i think itll be he and Pettitte that round out the back of the rotation.
