They all have a prospect in common, though. Here are some of the most common trading mistakes listed in a prospect, and how to avoid them. As there is particularly Silence on the most frequently traded currencies, you should try and opt for these, as they turn out to be cheaper, rather than go for the less popular ones.

Hmm, doesn’t sound like Cashman is that high on Burnett. That’s good! No way I give him a long term contract. 5 yrs to AJ Burnett? Please! I wouldn’t touch him with a 10 foot pole. The same stuff we’re hearing about Burnett is the same things we heard about Pavano when he was a FA. ‘oh he has good stuff’ ‘his only issues are health’. So why exactly you want to sign him again?

if cc makes up up our offer when no team beats it or comes close i would walk away and not sign him.

it would be a pleasant suprise.
these huge contracts never work.

we offered him the biggest contract in the history of baseball for a pitcher and he isn’t as good as santanna and we are in serious economic trouble.

i don’t know what the answer would be if we don’t land him but if he wan’t us to beat our own offer i tell him to take a hike.

let him go to cali where in a few years he will stink and be getting paid 20-25 million a year.

arod was another terrible signing.

the yankees better wisen up or they are going to be financially strapped.

posada another bad contract.3 years tops or bye bye.

we should sign pettitte,look at burnett for 4 yrs with incentives,look at lowe,perez.

if that doesn’t work trade hughes,cano,kennedy and others for 2 good young pitchers and call it a day.

the yankees get played by everybody and it has to stop.

i would give players a little more for playing in ny but not a lot more.

look at the red sox.they stick to their guns and it works for them.

this is why drafting and player developement is so important.

they were smart with the cano,wang contracts but stupid with arod,posada and i hope they don’t pay jeter 20 million a year when he will be 36 1/2 yrs old.

trade hughes,kennedy and keep our pitching prospects.

Jake

Kim Jones interviewed him on the Yankee Hot Stove Show and asked him th him on the available free agent pitchers.

Damon’s responses:
CC- He’s a work horse. He’ll give you 200+ innings.
Lowe- He’s great. He’s never afraid and will always take the ball.
Burnett- He’s a guy you win a WS with.

Great show – gotta love Brian Cashman. Derek Jeter is also a master at not being mis-quoted. Good, I am glad.

Watching Cashman it just confirmed for me how much goes on that we have no idea about. His story about striking out on 8 free agent pitchers before finally getting Jimmy Key was eye-opening to me.

Also, while Cash didn’t give a lot of specifics, it sounded like the Yankees are pretty much open to anything/everything out there.

Another thing of note was during the Johnny Damon segment when Kim Jones was asking him about CC, AJ and Lowe. I don’t know if anyone else felt this way, but it seemed it was coolest on CC, saying he was a workhorse, but much more. He gave the impression that he was more impressed with AJ and, of course, he played with Lowe and knows him and gave him a big thumbs-up. For what it’s worth, you know?

On another topic, I can’t wait until I have some time to listen to Pete’s sound file of Mussina’s phone conference. The little bit that was on Hot Stove was good.

I watched that show in it’s first season and will never watch it again. It’s a joke. You can find out as much and perhaps more on the Internet compared to that show.

Let’s not forget all the endorsements available to NY athletes…….

“If CC gets a 120mil deal, how much do you think he sees in his pocket after taxes and agent fees etc?”

After taxes CC would bring home well under 100 mil. Poor CC

I give a 3% chance CC goes to the Giants. I don’t see them adding another 100+ million dollar pitcher after the Zito debacle. Also their offense is paltry they would wind up losing 90 1 run games. I dunno I think CC is a smart man, would he rather have Derek Jeter and A-Rod scoring runs for him and Mariano Rivera closing his games or Bengie Molina batting cleanup and Brian Wilson closing?
