How is Lee not pissed at Philly as well? the guy brings you back to a World Series, wins his two starts, probably would won in game 7 and the next year, you chuck'em, basically tell him, Roy H is better, he's the guy we want, adios. And like a beaten house wife, this schmuck goes back to ya's. Fuckin Baffling.
and after that he still chose philly over ny, for less money no less...wtg lee!... :thumbup:
Almost forgot about the Russell Martin signing. I know the guys a dick from a lot of what I hear but I love the signing. Yanks need as many backstops in spring training as possible.
I keep saying it but I would love for the Yankees to make a serious run at Greinke. I don't have a major problem with them going into the season as is, assuming Pettitte comes back but I would love Greinke. As I said before, Grinke will be better for the Yanks over the long haul than Lee, just sucks it would cost prospects.
Yankees To Sign Mark Prior
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [December 14 at 5:00pm CST]
It's not Cliff Lee, but the Yankees have added a big-name pitcher. The team agreed to sign Mark Prior to a minor league deal, according to ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick (on Twitter). The Rangers and Yankees were the finalists for Prior, who pitched in Texas' system last year, but has not appeared in a major league game since 2006.
The Yankees selected Prior 43rd overall in the 1998 draft, but were unable to sign him. The Cubs drafted him second overall in 2001 and he soon became one of the National League's best pitchers. He posted a 2.43 ERA with 10.4 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 as a 22-year-old just a year and a half after being drafted.
A series of shoulder problems derailed Prior's career, but he has tried to resurrect it with stints in the Padres' and Rangers' systems.

I'm sure they'll come up with something. They won 103 games and a World Series title with essentially a three-man rotation and 95 games with CC Sabathia as an ace, AJ Burnett pitching with his head up his ass, a young Phil Hughes and an injured Andy Pettitte. People seem to be neglecting that fact.

Umm not really. AJ was on his game when they won. That's the thing - you don't know what you get with him one season to the next, and Pettite was not injured. He beasted it up through the playoffs.

Yes in some ways because I think Burnett while still inconsistent is closer to the pitcher who was 13-9 than the one who was 10-15. Also because I think Phil Hughes is a capable major league pitcher, especially at his age. And also because people when they panic over moves not happening, they fail to realize that moves and pitching often tend to be derived from unexpected places. And also because I've never been one to panic and am well aware of how difficult it actually is to win this day and age regardless of resources, roster and payroll and finally if it was so easy, this game wouldn't be fun to discuss on this forum and anywhere else.

I said the same thing on the last page. As much as I want Greinke, I think they go into the season with the rotation they have and Pettitte, if they have to make a move mid-season they will.
I'm not trying to be a wise ass...serious question. what would you guys think of the yanks trading for blanton?? he could probably be had for a low-mid level prospect at this point.

I wouldn't object to it. I'm not sure I'd want to do it until January or February after seeing how other pitching (free agency/trade) develops.

we were discussing a blanton trade in the phils thread. amaro should take his time moving blanton, so I don't think anything happens until right around the start of spring training anyway.
the baseball offseason is great...you just don't get this type of action in the other sports leagues
Id rather have Kerry Wood back, he impressed me last year.
I'd definitely want him back, plus he's a big Pearl Jam fan

Blanton fits the modern day mold of a Yankees pitcher: 6 innings, 4 or 5 runs, gets a W because the offense scored 10. Probably still better than Burnett.

and after that he still chose philly over ny, for less money no less...wtg lee!... :thumbup:
Well, I would imagine this means Kerry Wood will most likely be back. Joba/Robertson, Wood, Mo is a pretty damn good bullpen.
I keep saying it but I would love for the Yankees to make a serious run at Greinke. I don't have a major problem with them going into the season as is, assuming Pettitte comes back but I would love Greinke. As I said before, Grinke will be better for the Yanks over the long haul than Lee, just sucks it would cost prospects.

So, thats ONLY one option. You sure you want him & that fragile egg-shaped mind? How about bringing Carl Pavano back?>
