So when the hell are the big names going to sign with somebody??? How long does it take to mull over $100 million offers holy shit....
why do you care if Pettitte goes to LA? He was garbage last year and will only be worse...fuck him...he left the first time, he was a big faggot liar with the roids thing....fuck him..goood riddance.
Well here. Read this. Maybe you will understand it if somebody else tells you the same thing. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/b...cc_sabathia_buyers_beware_100_million_pi.html
Fuck Petitte. We need Sabathia and Burnett. I wish Mussiana would have come back for his final shot at a ring. Our Rotation should look like: 1. Sabathia 2. Joba 3. Wang 4. Burnett 5. Hughes One of the top rotations in baseball if they can stay healthy
Do you even have any idea WHY I'm disagreeing with your opinion of Sabathia? Because you seem to be tossing random arguments at me. I never said signing a player to a large contract isn't a risk. The question is whether it is a risk worth taking. Let's go through the four pitchers used in that article (which is shoddy journalism, at best). Would you really say Zito or Hampton is a comparable pitcher to Sabathia? No way. Would you want to give a seven year contract to a 34-year-old (like Kevin Brown)? Of course not. But would I give Santana six years at $137.5 million? I think so. And, since we're on the subject, weren't you in FAVOR of obtaining Santana? But, as Sundayjack mentioned, that article has absolutely nothing to do with the earlier point you made about how no one has ever lived up to a six-year contract.
Not anymore. The Yanks declined arbitration for Pettitte & Abreu. Pettitte makes some sense, as they think there is a good chance he'll resign for much cheaper. Abreu is a bit odd, since he was almost assuredly going to sign elsewhere, and now the Yanks have nothing to show for it.
CC Sabathia says alot of words about playing for the Yankees around baseball. Nobody really wants to. WHY? Cashman and Girardi are way below average at their respective positions, GM and manager. And what premier player would want as their owners, two spoiled kids, Hank and Hal? Their is an overated player at shortshop, a prima donna at 3rd base, a knucklehead Cano at second, no first baseman, no center fielder, weak starting pitching, and an aged closer.
or you could say why would anyone want to play for the yankees? They only have the most storied and loved franchise in all of sports, one of the best players all time at 3rd base, probly the most clutch player in the recent era at ss a young up and down 2nd baseman ill give you that, but has batting title potential, no 1b yes, but relatively easy position to fill, CC would add starting pitching. CC, Wang, Joba, Hughes and someone else is a pretty good rotation, and last time i checked we had a pretty good bullpen add that to the fact that they pay you more here than anywhere else i can say that thats a pretty good reason to play for the yankees
Im so confused as to why Cashman is not offering arbitration to any one especially with all the money he has free
I doubt they give a sh*t about any of that. Players' #1 concern is salary, followed by how good the team is, followed by what city they're in. Yankees offer the money, decent team, and a big market.
Yankees offer money, underachieving team full of overpaid aging players and a pressure cooker to play in.
That's one way to look at it. They've got just as many overpaid aging players as the Mets assuming that's who you root for. Some players embrace the big stage while others don't.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox have a stranglehold on the gay appeal angle. Hmm... that has a good chance of plummeting if Varitek leaves, though.
