    The Yanks aren't going to sign Kerry Wood?

    What the hell are they even doing this offseason?

    So now Wood now signs for less than what the Yankees were asked to offer.

    Yeah, I've seen it used for a bunch of stuff. And it's funny in any context every time.

    Dude wanted to go back to the Cubs, can't knock him for that.

    Even Cashman won't pay Blanton $8.5 a year for 2 years.

    No one knows that. I wanted Greinke as bad as anyone but the Yanks were not going to try and match that offer. Kind of crazy the Yanks have some flexibility.
  • tcaporaletcaporale Posts: 1,577
    I had mixed feelings about Grienke.

    I mean, it was probably worth a shot, but he kind of took a step back last season, and if he threw a couple of bad games in a row, I don't know how he would handle the New York press hounding him with questions.

    Still, I would really like to know what Cashman plans on doing the rest of this offseason.

    for some reason philly fans hate blanton. I don't get it. I still think that is a great contract for an NL team. Not so much in the AL East.

    I think the phils are in a good spot with blanton...as long as amaro doesn't overplay his hand

    According to Heyman, the Yankees could have had Greinke for Montero and Nunez. I guess the Yankees didn't think he is a good fit for New York. I have mixed feelings.

    We already have one right handed head case in NY, I guess two was out of the question

    He would've been awesome there. This will come back to haunt them.

    I read a really good article about Monteros value over the next 6 years compared to Greinkes over the next 2, even though I would imagine he would be there for longer. It was good and swayed me a bit towards keeping Montero. I really wanted Greinke though, still have mixed feelings I guess.

    Looks like it is going to be a shaky year for the rotation. I really hope Pettitte comes back. If he does I am somewhat fine with the rotation.

    The Yanks payroll is under $180 mil, so they definitely have room to make some additions. First time in a long time they have flexibility.

    We will definitely be seeing some of the kids this year now, probably not till mid season. I think Brackman is the only definite one to see big league innings but I would not be suprised to see either Betances or Banuelos get called up if they kill it in triple a.

    keith law compared montero to frank thomas. if I was a yanks fan, that's a pretty good reason to justify keeping him (assuming they agree with that premise)

    everyone is going crazy for the red sox. they certainly had a solid offseason with the gonzalez/crawford moves...but they still have questions in their rotation too (beckett, lackey, dice-k)
