you know this Yankee lineup reminds me a lot of the Rockies lineup in 97 with Walker who was MVP, Bichette, Galarraga, Burks, and Castilla but just god awful pitching
I'm not saying the Yankee pitching is horrible but the talent dropoff from batting to pitching is huge |

YOUR Hero, you sure are good at watching sportscenter...
Anyway, it looks like the Yankee's still might try to get either Jarrod Washburn or Odalis Perez. Talk about spending money, jesus. Anyway, the Yankee's have improved their hitting from last year, but haven't done much for their defense and their pitching has gone down. Pettite, Clemens, Wells, own Mussina, Brown, and Vazquez. Obviously the Yankee's are going to be a really strong side again this year, but they by no means have the personnel to be unstoppable. |

Ball hit between 3rd and SS, A-rod and Jeter get in a fist fight over whose ball it was.
Time will tell, but I don't think it's going to be a huge deal when all is said and done, dealing Soriano for a pitcher would have been better. |

IMO they should have dealt Matsui for a pitcher, played Bernie in left, and got a pitcher.

Didn't read the other replies, but this is not fair. The deal's basically done, and the Yankees have just made a blockbuster. Screw the salary cap, eh?
Anyway, the Yanks are now the Mavs of baseball, except they have all offense and no pitching (well, compared to years past) instead of all offense and no D. I was gonna pick the Sox to win the AL East now, but the edge goes back to the Yanks now. I'm pretty sure both teams will make the playoffs though. |

George has said he can/will go to 270million before it stops making financial sense for him. Don't forget, YES network makes him a ton of money. same way Nesn does for the Sox owners. As for the "Salary cap" it's not a Salary Cap, there is a luxury Tax (NBA has one also, but I think it works diffent, but so does the cap) anyway... the problem is and EE is right, small market teams take the luxury money and pocket it. It should be that if you receive X$ of Luxury Tax money your payroll most be X$ higher then the previous year, or you don't get the money. The point of the Luxury tax is to make teams more competitve. |

Thankyou for the Negative Rep BCWWF, but may I ask where I said Eddie Guardado was still on the Twins? And how am I a biased Yankee fan? All my posts are usually based on facts.

So, there allready talking the battle of the prima-donnas... A-rod v. Jeter, I think because of the money they make and their "status" of course there are issues, but Sheffield is much more likely to be an issue them those two.
They said in Texas A-rod would call the pitches from SS.. he'd signal to Pudge what to call... Well, I don't think that will be happening anymore. |

There saying Maddux is between Cubs, Dodgers and Yankees, the Yanks deny this, the report came from Borus, probably just trying to raise Maddux value.

Well it's FINALLY OFFICIAL, A-ROD IS A N.Y. YANKEE. I wish I could go to Fenway next year and just witness the reaction he gets the first time he comes to the plate. I'll probably get killed in that park though, wearing my Yankee jersey and all. LOL
