As long as you are able to find the Olney interview, the reliability is very high. Read the Olney interview below and you will be enlightened. 911 OPS love this and can profit greatly.

the yankees need to sign 3 of these pitchers sabathia,dempster,lowe,burnett,trade a package for a good young first baseman & cf. or sign tex.

sabathia,dempster,burnett,tex will cost about 80 million.factor in arbitration raises and payroll is about the same as 08.

with the extra revenue money from the new stadium they will still make a nice profit.

they don’t have any pitchers in their system ready and no first baseman.

should they trade hughes,kennedy,cano,ajax to fill their fb and cf needs and just sign 3 pitchers lowering payroll further?

if they sign 3 pitchers they can afford to trade hughes,kennedy,acevez,ajax and others for a fb & cf and avoid paying tex.

as long as they get a good young cf & fb i don’t see a problem trading hughes and ajax and some prospects.

i would probably try to keep montero because the yankees need a catcher and montero has huge power potential even though he might be moved to fb or dh.

i would love an adrian gonzalez or loney at first base.

the yankees now have 1 1/2 pitchers and need to fix the pitching first.

it will be interesting to see how cashman fixes fb & cf.

do we go with melky,gardner and wait for ajax?

i guess the easiest thing to do is sign sabathia,dempster,burnett,tex.

this fixes the pitching staff,first base and we keep all of our prospects and get some nice picks in the draft i believe.

rotation

sabathia
wang
burnett
dempster
joba

lineup

damon
jeter
tex
arod
nady
matsui
posada
cano
gardner

I can’t wait until the speakers at the new Stadium are blasting away as Mariano leaves the bullpen for the mound.

Baseball America has a best tools list for Yankee Minor Leaguers. For those who really know the minor leagues, is the list pretty good or are they missing someone?

Also check out the 2012 projected lineup. Jeter is still going to be the best option at SS and Brett Gardner at CF? Says alot about the lack of depth in the minors if that’s true.

I’m going to bid on the ATM machine that was on the Field Level. I spent a lot of time there over the years.

“Tearing down The Stadium mid-season is just bad form. Great idea front office.”

Maybe the old Stadium is staying up because there might be an outside chance the new one won’t be done? I guess the memorabilia sale is the main reason.

They could time demolition to a big Matsui homer and then show Godzilla on the fancy new video screens.

I can’t understand how they could start demolition mid-season while people are trying to attend games right across the street.
