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

Nova really? Would you care to elaborate on that? He is a good starter. But from what I see anyway he is a little better then Dustin Moseley. If the Yankees need a starter if Burnett or Pettitte go down next year he'd be a good fill in guy. If the Yankees need a sixth starter he'd be a good fill in guy. But is he really ready to be our fifth starter? Cause I just don't see it.
If we don't get Lee you should rest assure we are making a trade for a good starter maybe from the NL.
Here's how it will likely be.
CC
Lee (Insert traded for pitcher here)
Pettitte
Burnett
Hughes
I have not seen enough of Nova to say he'd be a good fifth starter. And by the way I don't think I even want Crawford. Now, Werth on the other hand I'm interested in getting him.
