- Keep Brian Roberts and maybe trade him if we get an unresistable offer - Trade Aubrey Huff, Luke Scott, Melvin Mora, George Sherrill for handful of prospects and a shortstop - Let Millar go into FA - Sign AJ Burnett for 10M for 2yrs = 5M per year but nothing more - Trade Daniel Cabrera, that guy can't find consistency over his 5 years of MLB - Sign Markakis to long-term - Sign CC to make the rotation, CC, Guthrie one two punch - Give Trembley a lifetime extension - Bid in Teixeira's race so Yankees can make an outrageous offer - Peter Angelos sells the team to Cal |

Let Giambi, Marte, Abreu, Pudge, and Pavano go. Resign one of Moose or Pettitte (my preference is Mussina because if he doesn't win 20 this yr, 300 could be his only way into the HOF. Sign CC to a 5 yr, 135 mil deal. Sign Will Ohmann Ideally sign Mark Teixeira to an 8 yr deal, but in all likelihood it won't happen. CC/Wang/Joba/Moose or Pettitte/Hughes Mo, Melancon, Ohmann, Edwar, Veras, Giese, Bruney Damon/Jeter/Teixeira/A-Rod/Nady/Matsui/Cano/Posada/Gardner Molina, Betemit, Christian, and Ransom (Duncan has to earn his spot imo) Now, here are 2 trades that are 99% unlikely: Robinson Cano for Matt Kemp. Bowa loves Cano and we would need Kemp, young talent, mlb ready, and with a-jax coming up in the farm system that outfield duo would be insane. Another prospect or two might have to be added in order to complete this deal, but whatever. Ian Kennedy and someone else for Mike Aviles. Aviles could fill the hole at 2B by trading Cano, and he is a good hitter with a batting average near .320. With that, our batting lineup could be (without Teixeira): Damon/Jeter/Kemp/A-Rod/Nady/Matsui/Posada/Aviles/Gardner Damon could play 1B, Gardner in left, Kemp in center, Nady in right, and Matsui the DH Oh yea, replace Kevin Long with Paul O'Neill |

I feel bad for you guys if you are starting Gardner in center next season, let alone a corner outfield spot with his production. |

Burnett is not going to sign for junk change. He'll have to get more than 12 million per season and at least 3 years. |

Gardner takes awhile to adjust to each new level he has at every stop in the minors. He'll start to hit again and he's starting to since he was called up. |

- Sign CC Sabathia - Sign Mark Teixiera - Resign Bobby Abreu - Fire Kevin Long That's pretty much it. If 3 out of 4 of those things happen, I'd be very happy. I realize that we probably can't resign abreu, get Big Tex, AND Sabathia, but if two of those three can happen I'd be pleased. So next years lineup would be (in my dream haha): 1. Damon, CF 2. Jeter, SS 3. Abreu, RF 4. A-Rod, 3B 5. Big Tex, 1B 6. Matsui, DH 7. Nady, LF 8. Cano, 2B 9. Posada/Molina, C Starting Roto: 1. CC 2. Wang 3. Joba 4. Mussina 5. Hughes |

I don't think you should let Pettitte and Moose walk. I think bring both back, definitely Pettitte, and Moose only if he'll take under 10 Mil. Let Giambi, Abreu, Pudge, and Marte walk, and extend Jeter until he feels he'd be done playing Baseball. I like the Tino idea. -Sign CC for about 5 years $130 Million -Sign Tex for 8 years around 22+ mil per season -Trade Melky, Cano, Chase Wright and Kennedy for Dejesus and Aviles. Rotation: CC Joba Wang Pettitte Moose Line-Up Damon - LF Jeter - SS Tex - 1B A-Rod - 3B Nady - RF Matsui - DH Posada - C Dejesus - CF Aviles - 2B |

Umm...you do know you have to offer these guys arbitration right? I think a lot of them will accept arbitration to stay with the Yanks. |

I LOL at some of you people's offers to Burnett. He's passing on 2/24. 2/10 and 3/30 are not upgrades. He's gonna want 3/40+, most likely 3/45 or 4/50 based on what the market for good pitching is like these days. |

Giambi, Mussina, Pettite, and Pudge would all accept arbitration. In arbitration you can't make anything less than 80% of your previous year's salary, so Giambi and Pudge would get a whole lot more money by accepting arbitration than going to free agency and getting a half assed deal. |

Nooo to moose, he had a great year but its all down here from here. Let him go out with new york on top, hopefully 20 wins. I'd really love for Tino to be a minor league coach, he's amazing with the kids in college. I really hate Mechum though... Also don't extend jeter, extend him when his contract is up since thats when his value will be lowest. If you extrend him now, you'll have to pay 15 million a year. If you extend him in 2011 you could get him even cheaper. |
