Most of the names I left off the list (I believe) are 1st year players who will have their contracts renewed at or near league minimum (.4M). I'll assume at 50% raise for all the arbitration eligible players.

While Damon and Matsui's salaries are coming off the books, CC's deal calls for a big increase this season.
Let's assume that the Yanks plan to start the season with a $200M payroll. That leaves some money for midseason reinforcements.
Jeter-Cabrera-Teixeira-Arod-Posada-Cano-Swisher-DH-Gardner
CC, AJ, Joba, Hughes, Aceves/Mitre
The Yanks have roughly $24M to play with, how would you spend it?
