10 Great Moves for the Yankees to make.

With the season over and a 28th trophy not in the Yankees trophy case...cabinet...big place where trophies go, it's time to look at some moves the Yankees could make. And here are 10 that would be great.



1. Sign Derek Jeter and then trade him for Hanley Ramirez.  The Marlins would accept that, right?.....Right?

Star-divide

2. Resign Melky Cabrera and put him and Cano in an apartment together in Manhattan. What's the worst those two could do?

3. Sign Cliff Lee, but not to pitch, to DH!  Look at his playoff hitting stats from this year: .500 BA, .500 OBP, 1.000 SLG!!! We need that man hitting behind Ardo.

4. Sign Crawford, Werth, Huff, and make this next year's lineup:

  • Gardner
  • Cervelli
  • Teixeira
  • ARod
  • Cliff Lee
  • Cano
  • Crawford and Werth....batting at the same time
  •  Huff
  • Hanley Ramirez
  • Granderson
  • (is it against MLB rules to have 10 people in the lineup?)

5. Don't sign Mariano Rivera.  Why would we want an aging closer who's only....ok, scratch that. Even I can't take myself seriously here.

6. Trade Jesus Montero for actual Jesus and platoon him with Granderson.

7. I've got just the solution for the 5th starter!

Oh. Yes.

8. Trade for Zack Greinke, and then DFA him.

9. Fire Girardi and hire Michael Kay as the new manager.

10. Resign Chad Gaudin and make him closer.

Might as well just give the Yanks the trophy now!

Well if it was illegal to bat 10 guys

Do you really think Selig would notice? He’s still got his mind fixed on trying to figure out why it rained so hard in Philly during the 2008 World Series.

Other than mis-spelling Werth, everything seems spot on right here. I here-by resign my mod powers and bestow them on you.

AJ for Felix!

And then trade Felix for Posey and Heyward. They’re gonna have to split Felix in half but I have the utmost confidence in the Yankee brain trust to make it happen.

I was thinking Felix more for long relief, Gaudin is gone so I was hoping Felix can take his place.

I’ve got a shoebox!

But I think instead of Gaudin closing, we should resign Chan Ho Park and have him, Gaudin, and Mitre battle it.

Chan Ho Park is bring brought back as a starter.

I thought that went without saying.

I would totally stand outside Marc Albrighton and/or Barry Bannan's house(s) playing Peter Gabriel music.

Kei looks so intimidating in that pic, almost Paps like

Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors.

I can't stop laughing at that picture. LOL
