I'll take 4 Trade Farnsworth AGAIN while we have another chance. Yankees Brass should take care of the fans and have a lottery to buy things at reasonable prices.

It all depends on what Detroit would want. If you can do it for Jeffrey Marquez or Chase Wright you probably do it... if they insist on Melancon or JB Cox tell them where to put their proposal.

It would be a salary dump for the Tigers and he could be a 3rd catcher for the yankees that would enable them to dfa moeller since he never plays while adding a RH bat with some pop and a little speed. He's also would add a lot of flexibility to the bench in that he can play both corner IF positions and some OF. I think the tigers even played him in CF some early in the year. The downside is that he's overpaid for a bench player and has several years left on his contract. With the aging of our team though, I think having a good 3rd catcher the next few years could be a good thing as long as its not taking up a roster space with someone who would never play anywhere else.

I don't know what people's fascination is with Tex. You don't tie up 1B on an aging team. If we're lucky and don't need 1B for Posada and/or Jeter in a few years, we have Montero in the minors who could slide into that spot. I'd rather reup w/ Giambi for another year. If they going to be aggressive about acquiring anyone in the offseason, it should be another front line starter and/or a new RFer. E-Dog is exactly right.

He's close to an auto out. A Kingman among catchers, if you will. He might be good for 10-15 homers, but little else. Lot of these pitchers seem fairly comfortable with Molina right now. Brandon:

In this market, someone’s going to give him the bank why not it be the Yankees. They can’t sit aside and pass on a big bat in his prime." I honestly don't think they need Texeira. Maybe they can scoop up a first baseman in a trade if they land CC. I don't think they Yankees are going to give two players multiple year 20 mil deals. I think it'll be one or the other and I'd prefer the pitcher. “who is? In this market, someone’s going to give him the bank why not it be the Yankees.
