Could see the Yankees panicking and going balls out to sign Fielder, who has already said he'd have no problem being a DH.
Though if that happens, that assures A-Rod will be playing 3rd into his mid-40s for the remainder of his contract, unless they move Teixeira out of position. |

Their offense was shit this series, but I doubt the Yankees are going to start blaming their problems on their lineup. They need starting pitching. Bad.

Question is whether Cashman comes back, whether CC opts out for more years, whether Swisher is around next year. Posada is done as a Yankee, unfortunately, it's just time to move on. |

I don't think so we need more hitting then pitching. If it weren't for our hitting we would be going to the ALDS right now. I really don't think our need for starting pitching is really that big. If we over pay Prince Fielder without getting CJ Wilson I think we have all ready made ourselves a better team. We do need pitching but, right now our major problem is the middle of the lineup. ESPECIALLY A-ROD. But, on the other hand do we need Prince Fielder when we are grooming our very own Young home run hitting DH in Montero?

If it weren't for their hitting, the Yankees may not have even made the playoffs.

Fucking Girardi and his micromanaging. It ALWAYS comes back and gets him. Should have let Hughes eat a few innings then get to the bridge to Mo.
Was half awake when I saw the Swisher at-bat with bases loaded in the 7th. I'm still pissed off he swung at those 2 pitches on the outside. Could have been a tie game. Ah well. Offseason should be interesting. I see keeping Sabathia around at the top of the to-do list. Who knows what happens after that. |

The Yankees were 2nd in the majors in runs scored and 3rd in OPS. They were 1st in walks and only 16th in strikeouts. I dunno how you could even begin to place the blame on the offense, let alone think it needs upgrading.

I don't think the Yankee offense needs upgrading...but it would be a Yankee move to go after a huge name just for the sake of it.
If Fielder went to the Yankees, I think you could conceivably draft him first in fantasy. 50+ HRs guaranteed. |

No, that'd be the Red Sox, they usurped the stupid Free Agent move from the Yankees.

Their offense is great but in the postseason it seems to disappear a lot and I just think it has to do with having too many all or nothing hitters. This kind of goes against everything I think in that OBP and SLG are the most important stats but at some point having so many players with low averages does hurt in the postseason. I think some of it is mental - Teixiera is either in a huge decline at 31 or after his first year in NY he fell in love with the short porch and its screwed his swing up royally. Like I said though, the rotation is the big issue and the thing that will be looked at in the offseason. Theres a good chance the offense won't change at all besides Posada and I'm fine with that. I still do believe you can put some of the blame on them though and I think its warranted. |

Abiding by George Steinbrenner's credo of a championship or failure, Yankees team president Randy Levine labeled the 2011 season as unsuccessful.
"We are the Yankees," Levine told ESPNNewYork.com on Friday as he and the franchise coped with being eliminated at home in Game 5 of the ALDS by the Tigers. "That is the way The Boss set it up. When you don't win the World Series, it is a bitter disappointment and not a successful year." I'm glad to see someone stepping in for The Boss. |

This is coming from the guy who went over Cashman's head and overpaid for Raphael Soriano.
If Cashman was smart, he'd tell Levine to leave him the fuck alone if he wants to come back next season. |

Everyone of the rumor sites say that Fielder to the Orioles is the best fit but I just cant see them dishing out tons of money to Fielder. A lineup with Fielder,Reynolds,Hardy,Wieters and Jones would be interesting to watch, but without pitching its meaningless, and its a shame there aren't that many good Free Agent pitchers that will be available..CJ Wilson?

Won't get any better with A-Rod because the Yankees still stuck with him for 6 more years and nobody wants to touch that in any deal unless the Yankees ate most of the money.

I actually think Fielder is gonna go to the Red Sox. I mean think about it, Big Papi is now a free agent. I think with Ortiz hitting free agency it's more likely that the Red Sox will either sign Pujols or Fielder. Cause with the Yankees they have some DH'S all ready with A-rod, Montero etc. but, the Red Sox I think it's a different story.

Cardinals vs Phillies starting.
I don't see how the Cardinals can beat Roy Halladay at home and in a decisive game. I mean, that's why they got him. (As I wrote this, Furcal hit a lead-off triple) ...huh. |
