What I suspect the Yankees will do:
Vazquez - gone obviously
Pettite - would return I suspect
Rivera - Will return on the "Yankee lifetime reward contract"
Jeter - Same as Rivera but this one could turn out ugly - he did nothing after the break
Burnett - Will be back - too much money and they'd probably have to pay $40 or so of the $50 million left on his deal to move him
Wood - Will be back in some capacity, dunno if they're going to pick up an 11 million dollar option for a setup man
I think they'll give Nova a chance to win a rotation spot next year. I think they will sign Crawford. They would look like:
Jeter
Crawford
Teixeria
Rodriguez
Cano
Posada DH
Swisher
Montero
Granderson
Sabathia
Hughes
Pettite
Burnett
Nova
Also, I wouldn't be shocked if Joba isn't here at the start of the 2011 season - be it in the minors or elsewhere
