I hope these supposed Yankee fans really don't stop Cliff Lee from coming here. If we don't get Cliff Lee we could have a problem with AJ Burnett having a bad year and Hughes maybe coming off an excellent year. Hughes is a good pitcher but I can't see him doing as good as he did this year next year. Javy Vazquez being most likely gone and Andy 50/50. That's one reason why I am going for San Francisco if Texas doesn't win there will be more of a chance of Cliff going to where the money is at instead of signing for a discount back with Texas.
I think Cliff wants to come here. He wants to pitch on the same team as Sabathia. And Cliff and CC'S wife I have heard are very, good friends. So I think we have a chance but I am sticking by my guns and saying if by chance we don't sign Lee we will gather together a package and sending a good to modest package to a NL team for a good pitcher. We may have to do that even if we sign Lee. This off season will be fun I think. |

It'll come down to money, like it does with almost every free agent. I'm sure millions of dollars will make up for a bad experience at Yankee Stadium. And he's been in Texas a couple months now, its not like he's been there his whole career or anything. I can't remember many free agents giving discounts to teams they were with for half a season.
Also, why do you think Hughes can't have a good season next year? Its obvious the workload this year was the reason for him trailing off in the second half. With a year of starting under his belt and not having to deal with innings limits next year I expect him to keep improving. |

I guess I read to many newspapers then . Almost every time I read a Cliff Lee article it keeps saying that Cliff is more likely to accept a discount from Texas if they win the World Series. |

Wins are a terrible way to judge players years though. If wins actually related to how well he pitched this year he would have no where near 18 wins because he struggled a lot in the second half.
I'm sure winning the WS will definitely help in retaining Lee but I can't imagine he'll give a big discount either way. He has no long-term ties with Texas. He's only been there a couple months. I have no idea on what he thinks but most likely he'll do what every other free agent does and go to whichever team offers the most money. The one advantage Texas has over other teams is Texas is close to Lee's home. |

I find myself rooting for the Giants this time. Freddy "Dirty" "Clubby" Sanchez was always a class act in PGH and deserves to have a ring for the time he spent here in futility.

Yankees decline the options of Kerry Wood, Lance Berkman, and Nick Johnson. We pick up Andrew Brackman's.
Kerry, Lance thanks for everything. Nick, don't let the door hit you on the way out. |

Kerry Wood's option was declined because $11 million for one year is too rich for ANY set up man. Even for the Yankees.

He was Manager of the Yankees...left...and then they made the World Series in 1996 (and won). He was Manager of the Diamondbacks...left...and then they made the World Series in 2001 (and won). He was Manager of the Rangers...left...and they made the World Series this year... ...if the Rangers WIN, then it all can't be a coincidence. Showalter knows his baseball. So all u Orioles fans, don't worry, your team will win as soon as Buck leaves. Enjoy the process of seeing the man go to work and revamp that organization, laying the groundwork for a winning team. |

Usually when you have an aging (or slow/hurt) outfielder, you put him in Left Field, not Right. He's sticking out like a sore thumb.

Oh, man!
Giants blew this one wide open. When neither of the teams playing is your favorite, It's great to watch a game while rooting for both teams and not getting upset or angry when one or the other does something. |

Putting Vlad in the outfield backfired badly for the Rangers along with the 4 errors.

They need to put Vlad in Left Field, that's where outfielders go before they retire, when they can't play Right or Center Field. Putting him in Right Field was a good idea in 2000, not so in 2010.
