We don’t need Chapman. Guy is full of hype and probably won’t live up to it.

If he does, we didn’t need him anyways. We have so much pitching talent in DRob Hughes and Chamberlain that it’s a better idea not to waste money on him and save it for future years where we might have to replace an outfielder.

The All Mouth Hall of Fame. He hasn’t gotten an out in the Bigs. Risky, very risky.

Some people on here are nuts! We don’t even have a rumor for Yanks yet ! No matter the changes coming, it will be VERY difficult to get back to W.S. next year ! High salaries have never guaranteed anything! True it helps, but with the injuries and just luck here and there anyone can win with a good team. ( Cards in 06′ were hardly the best team, but won ) 2 rounds of playoffs and the Series are hard to accomplish ! Yankees will be good, very good ! There’s always a team that comes on unexpectedly and does well, and then the team that’s hard to beat all year can sure get in the way !

The comment written by AP tells me one thing. The writer was looking to create a negative impression of Chapman. Bling? He was dressed well, even with the earrings, with an appearance that you would accept in most businesses.

Its why I treat most stories as suspicious. Too much credence is given to the words being used, when more times than not its to create an image that the writer wants to portray. People read bling and they think “punk”. That is the image the writer wanted to project, and it worked when you read the commentary about it.

The Yankee’s pay their dues with the Luxury Tax.. So i’m all for building this dynasty again.. Who’s to say they can’t go on a run for the next few years!

Evidently well dressed and blinged out mean the same? I was expecting a gangsta rapper .

I would LOVE to see Holliday sign with St Louis and Crawford stay with the Rays.

It gets kinda insane when every player is rumored or ends up signing with the Yankees or Red Sox. The way people talk on this blog is as if they can’t wait to get another teams star player.

Don’t you want to create your own star players? Isn’t that what is extra special about Mo, Jeter, Jorge and Andy? Don’t we hope that is what happens with Phil & Joba?

Yes I’m estatic about getting CC, Tex and AJ. But when is it enough? I’m not suggesting the Yankees stand pat or rest on their laurels. But I would like SOME balance in the league and at least some of the teams being able to lock up their star/homegrown players.

It’s good for the spot in the longturn

Maybe I’m wrong but wouldn’t signing holliday and letting matsui and Damon walk cost roughly the same or less for the 2010 payroll than bringing both of them back. If you bring Damon and matsui back for one year that’s fine but then you have this same problem again next year. Now you could sign Crawford next offseason but personally I think holliday is a better player and will perform better over the next five years when crawfords speed starts to diminish. if you sign holliday then you have at least one quality outfielder locked down for the next few years and can concentrate in other things such as pitching.
