Could The Yankees Sign Remaining Top Free Agents?

You need to somewhat change your team in a positive way year in and out. Not sure Martin and Feliciano do the trick. After all it is January and we all have no clue on how well these two guys will do. I guess I feel left out because the Sox had such a good off-season. Not that we had a bad one.

I’d like to sure up the pen and the bench if we’re not getting a starter. Andy Pettitte back or not we need to make something a positive. I’d like our pen to be strong. A strong bull pen will surely help the question mark with our #5 starter.

As of now I know we have 3 guys in our rotation. You know they are CC, AJ, and Hughes. I think Nova will be tried and so will Mitre sadly. I’m not confident with that. Pettitte comes back and boom the #5 starter thing isn’t as much of a problem. But 2/5 of your pen who might lose every 5th day is scary. Especially with a young Phil Hughes who might struggle for parts of the year. People need to remember he’s not an ace yet. I hope he takes that form soon, or close to it. Burnett might still be out of whack.

The Yankees didn’t use the money on Lee, Crawford, Werth, etc…Didn’t trade for Greinke. So what can they do? Sign Soriano sure up the 8th inning and possibly the 7th and 8th on some nights, and the problem is solved. Soriano + Mo = Win

The line up will get the pitchers runs so I’m not worried at all. I guess I guess we just have to see how this plays out.

I’d like to keep our picks..please and thank you. Soriano will be overpaid for a reliever by a ton.

Soriano will cost too much to float the 8th inning….

The pen always seems to follow suit of the starters. If we get our SP sorted out everything should fall into place.

better option than bonderman. and he only made $1 million last year

Surrender Dorothy

At this point in his career, Don Zimmer would make a better outfielder than Vlad. I’m fine with getting him, but if we do, he DHs and that’s all.

or sort of a combined one and two. I’d love to add Soriano, as it would make the Yankee bullpen one of the best in the game with a lockdown 8-9 inning. I’d stay away from Vlad. I’d love to see him as a Yankee too but I don’t think it’s worth signing him for him to be a bench player. He deserves to start at DH elsewhere.

What I would do is sign Soriano, keep Andy (if he wants to come back) and then use some money to get another outfielder (I’d like Johnny Damon, personally).

Vlad…? You cannot be serious! We need someone that has some type of skill with the leather too, if you say Vlad then why not ManRam? (UUUUUUGH) He has a much better discipiline at the dish than Vladdy, But I for one shudder to think of him wearing the pinstripes just as much as I do with Vlad. Think of when Alphonso Soriano was on the Yanks and him swinging at pitches two feet off the plate, The thought of watching Vlad out there doing the same thing wouldn’t go over too well with you guys and on that, I would bet the house. I don’t know what I think about Noodle Arm Part Deux in The Bronx but Damon being a left handed bat still leaves us with a need off the bench. I think Soriano would be a decent pick up depending on the money and years, and the loss of a 1st rounder isn’t the end of the world because we wont be getting a top ten draft pick anyway. I am just wary of his health but he would be a great set up for Mo and Might be able to close games when Mo needs a day off.

sign vlad as a dh only,split the time with posada. dude can still rake with the best of them. would have been nice to have him last year at dh instead of that johnson that is always injured

We need bench players w/ multiple postion options.
We need one more SP
Adding great set up man never hurts

Save your money now and more players open up via tarde during summer dumps.

The last three years -look at the pitchers that were traded – CC, Lee twice, Oswalt, Haren .

First, the pick issue. Second, his worst came against the O’s and Jays (There’s more to stats than the overall totals). And third, please use some periods. Those sentences are long as hell and hard to read.

When the Yanks were ruling the world in the late 90s, it wasn’t just the Jeter/Mo/Andy/Jorge exacta, but we got role players out of the farm system… the Ramiro Mendozas and Shane Spencers and Aaron Smalls…. junk heap guys, marginal prospects, etc. that fill the kind of roles that win championships… so put me down for a 2/3 split, but I voted 2.

Solely because he isn’t a power hitter and people are afraid to give big deals to players who don’t hit for power.

But are you seriously trying to argue that LF or even OF wasn’t a position of need for the Red Sox when you say this:

hy spend when you aren’t spending on a position of need? This is why I was against the Red Sox signing Carl Crawford to that mega dea…..
