Kinda pathetic to lable a person cowardly based on where he may or may not play baseball and how much an already wealthy man values money. For some there are things more important than money, particularly when you have money. jmo

Trevor,
where is pettitte in that third option? You dont think we will re-sign pettitte if we sign CC and Burnett. Cuz i will tell you one thing – pettitte will want to sign long before both of them are off the market. If we dont sign pettitte cuz we are waiting for CC and or Burnett, pettitte will be pissed and the yanks clearly dont want hughes guaranteed a spot in the rotation out of spring training. Not to mention, there is absolutely no indication that cash doesnt want to resign pettitte or that pettitte wants to play elsewhere. I think Wang, Sabathia, pettitte, joba, and somebody looks best – and i dont really like burnett or lowe as that somebody.

Ugh that’s hard to read. Okay:

Wang, Burnett, Joba, Pettitte, Hughes

Wang Wang Wang
Burnett Sabathia Sabathia
Joba Pettitte Burnett
Pettitte Joba Pettitte
Hughes Hughes Joba

One of the 3 will happen. But which one? Yankees probably prefer the last but my gut feeling says the first will.

Sorry but that’s how you weed out the Yankee fans who can’t handle the pressure.

I don’t know. Not making the news just reporting it.

mel,

You have cash’s cell. I’ll shoot him a text and tell him why cc and Tex will look outstanding in pinstripes and AJ and Lowe will be total Pavano like disasters possibly. You never know, he may listen.

Ed,

The nats aren’t going to be serious in the Tex sweepstakes. The Lerners are never going to spend that much on a player.

It’s just a rumor but I’m sure Boras had it leaked for a reason.

And Tex is going to command a lot of money and I could see them using Cabrera’s contract as the basis to start the bids.

NNY would be better of with Cameron or Edmonds playing center field over DeJesus playing there.

pat,

what if the yanks up the bid to keep that 30 Mil cushion that some have mentioned? Could CC leave 30 mil on the table to play on the west coast? That is record-setting. Not to mention, when was the last time CC was on an MLB team on the west coast? he has survived in cleveland and milwaukee for this long, i think this whole west coast thing is a bit overhyped. Id buy it if he had been playing in cali the last ten years but cleveland is in ohio last time i checked.

CB, if that’s the case then Teixiera will be a Yankee in 2012, just like A-Rod. they can’t afford to keep Zimmerman and Teixiera in a few years.
