I would add more firepower with someone they can acquire at a reasonable price!

Outfield - They made their bed with the Granderson trade, and not pursuing Holliday or Bay. Picked up Winn. I will admit that the outfield worries me a bit, especially if one of them were to get hurt. Only Winn and Hoffman on the current roster can play outfield.

Infield - No one in their right mind would change anything.

Catcher - Cervelli as part time/backup catcher should be suitable.

DH - Nick Johnson is more than capable of this role. High on-base and takes lots of pitches, left-handed with the short right field.

SP - Already added Javy Vazquez. Only question is #5, but they seem to be going the Hughes route, which...

RP - ...leaves Joba for the bullpen. Solid relievers all around IMO. The ONLY issue I have with the RP situation is the fact that they're only using one LHP (Marte). That could be addressed, but really, who is out there? I haven't seen who's around in the minors; maybe someone there? Just NOT Kei Igawa please!

Carl Crawford is under contract with the Rays, and they won't be trading him to a division rival. He also won't be available at a reasonable price after the season, as he'll be among the top free agents available and will be looking for a huge contract.

True but the talks of a contract extension have stalled!

They still wouldn't trade him within the division, and hope to sign him after the season. Maybe they would consider it if they were doing horribly at the trade deadline but they have high hopes for the season and he is among their top players.

Maybe, they would trade him to the Yanks to attempt the Red Sox not to get him!

Go Yanks

Yeah I'm watching just cause sportscenter is full of basketball and I already watched almost all the combine stuff.

[sfmarine]

Bernie's there...

[sfmarine]

lol @ Teixeira's reaction to Gaudin throwing it way out of range lol.

[supersix4]

They better not let Jeter go could you imagine seeing him play for like the Astros

I can't wait till the O's get some tv time

Lame I'm only going to get 5 games on tv till opening day.

[sfmarine]

Jeter isn't going anywhere. He'll get probably a 5 yr contract at the end of the year.

That sucks that you're going to miss some games. I get about 85% of the games each year. My9 is a channel I don't get and they usually broadcast a game per week on that channel but the encore always allows me to re-watch it. You should get directv.

Were not important enough to get almost all the games even though I'd be happy to watch them play the nationals or some really bad team.

lol they'd rather re-run espn news segments on their home channel (no joke) then give us the first sp game

Thats probably where its headed, but after the way they did tore I just don't know what will happen.

I couldn't have ever imagined seeing like Ripken go play for the mets or rangers, god that would have been terrible.


**** from this game A-rod just seems so lax, I don't know what it is, he's got to be at peace after winning the ship, getting that roid monkey off his back.

I wonder if Thames will ever break through from being a bounce around player.

Ya A-Rod has no worries...even ditched Hudson. All he has left to do now is break records.

[Hi-Def Steve]

Just a heads up for all the Yankee fans (the so few on this board) that MLB Network is running their "30 Clubs in 30 days" special for the Yankees tommorow at 2pm PST.
