Comments on: So what’s next for the Yankees? http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/12/10/so-whats-next-for-the-yankees/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:19:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Virginia Yankee http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/12/10/so-whats-next-for-the-yankees/comment-page-5/#comment-610173 Virginia Yankee Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:38:03 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/?p=5437#comment-610173 I jknow you are just reporting but the Yankees scouting must be worse than awful if they are looking at cameron Ankiel and Punto Their planning is awfull -- they need everyday players -- good for 8 years as much as tey need pitching They need Tex more than they need Sabbathia -- nice to have Sabbathia - Sabbathia Wang Joba Hughes Pettit works -- go get Tex and fix the 3 - 4 hole and 1B for the next 8 years - the 2 a switch DH And for heaven sake do somwthing about Catcher -- even if Posada makes it back - he is one slide, one swing, one collision away from being done. Cameron and Ankiel are not needed adds -- Gardner is a better OF than either -- he can put up a terrifc OBP and give the team speed on the bases -- with some tutoring he may be the lead off speed guy they will need when they lose Damon. Dumping Bettemit improves the bench by substraction they don't need to compound the problem with "I have no OBP" Punto on the bench -- I jknow you are just reporting but the Yankees scouting must be worse than awful if they are looking at cameron Ankiel and Punto
Their planning is awfull — they need everyday players — good for 8 years as much as tey need pitching

They need Tex more than they need Sabbathia — nice to have Sabbathia – Sabbathia Wang Joba Hughes Pettit works — go get Tex and fix the 3 – 4 hole and 1B for the next 8 years – the 2 a switch DH

And for heaven sake do somwthing about Catcher — even if Posada makes it back – he is one slide, one swing, one collision away from being done.

Cameron and Ankiel are not needed adds — Gardner is a better OF than either — he can put up a terrifc OBP and give the team speed on the bases — with some tutoring he may be the lead off speed guy they will need when they lose Damon.

Dumping Bettemit improves the bench by substraction they don’t need to compound the problem with “I have no OBP” Punto on the bench –

Poor, poor AL teams followed by wang. francessa talking about joba in the pen again & heyman agreeing. you do not put a pitcher like joba in the pen unless he can't handle starting or injuries are a concern,ever. it goes against all logic. there pen is already good. the yankees wan't lowe.

Then put agreements out to Sheets and Lowe and see who bites. While he is at it, take a look at Garland too, and see what he would be asking for. 3/$36M maybe? I have no idea what he is looking for. He will make a nice 4-5 guy though. Burnett will have to accept Atlanta’s 5/$80M

AJ is less risk/similar to less reward. Lowe is minimal risk/minimal reward. AJ has made 18 more starts than Sheets the past four years and has the additional plus of being proven in the AL East. If the commitments are close in terms of $$$ Lowe should clearly finish third in this debate. Pettite plus Sheets or AJ would create one tremendous pitching staff and there should still be some cash for bench enchanements. Sheets is incredibly high risk/high reward.
