I'd like this one better... Beckett Papelbon Matsuzaka Lester Wakefield With Buchholz, Bard, and /or Bowden ready for '09 when Wake retires.
couple bones to pick here.....Bernie? love the guy, but get the fuck outta here already....mussina? fuck him!! the man is without a single shred of balls...he is exactly whats wrong with this team......wright? wright? jarret wright? what in god's name would ever lead you to want this cocksucker back?
Seriously I mean shit. He said he wouldnt mind if Wright was a 5th starter and hes acting like he called for a contract extension.
Yanks will buy out Jaret Wright.... spent 2 much time on the dl. Mussina might come back but a a lower rate. Johnson will be on the team next year he is under contract. If you want 2 trade arod you are really on drugs this guy is still a great talent u dont trade that away unless u get stud SP. Pavano will be throwing for us next year as a starter. Wang, Pavano ,Johnson, will all start for us next year with 2 spots open depending on what we do with mussina, Hughes will start at some time next year either at the all star break or he will just win a job in the spring.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Ok, I'm done now. Wait... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, it's not like we're trading Miguel Cairo. This is guy who will hit his 500th HR next year at the age of 32. Why don't you go start a Red Sox offseason thread or something?
What does everyone have against Matsui? He has been a great player for us ever since he came here. So, he got injured this season... there is really nothing he could do to stop that. When he came back he had a good postseason compared to the rest of our lineup
I don't know if we get Weaver straight up for ARod. Devil is being a bit overboard on his reaction, but not by much. However, we could probably put a package together and have something like a 5 player exchange. Will Hughes be ready next year? From the things I have heard, he is still another full season in the minors before the Yankees want him to appear in the bigs. Does anyone remember Dave Eiland? Brought up too early, he shook so hard on the mound in Yankee Stadium in his first game that he pulled his groin, and ruined his career.
I think it has more to do with getting the homegrown Melky more playing time than just wanting Hideki off the team. If I could do what I wanted, I'd keep both Matsui and Melky and ship Damon out, then move Melky to CF, his natural position.
How about his total lack of range in left field, coupled with a weaker arm than Bernie Williams? F the big bats. We need guys who are ready to game.
Honestly, I would keep Matsui as the DH. Melky in left. Keep Damon, who was one of the best leadoff guys in baseball this year.
Hughes will start the year in Scranton. If he can dominate AAA like he has the rest of the minors (which is likely), I'm sure he would be called up if there's an injury or someone just flat out sucks.
I really have no idea what kind of package Matsui would bring in a trade. He makes $36M over the next 3 years, which is a little more than what he's worth, but the revenue he brings from Japan makes him almost a bargain. I wouldn't be against trading him for the right package, but I expect him to be back. He should be the DH, or atleast try and play some 1B so Giambi can get some half-days off.
It's hard to say. He could be up by May, or he may not be up until September. Too much can happen. I would say however there's a better than 50/50 chance he's up pre-AS break, because he's so dominating, and there's bound to be an injury or two in the rotation.
Yeah, that's what I meant. Our staff is bound to have injuries. Have the Yankees said anything about Pavano yet? He's a guy I want out of here in the worst way. He is just sucking on salary, and providing zip in return.
