    He must've caught wind of the huge uproar in the Phils' fanbase over this trade. Amaro was raked over the coals to no end. All the Phils had to say was "sorry, we fucked up." He knew the fans didn't trade him.

    I love how the world is over now that Lee chose a different team. This team won 95 games last year with a bunch of awful years from important players.

    good point Cliffy.
    I have actually been more concerned about middle relief. Any improvements there?

    Well, I would imagine this means Kerry Wood will most likely be back. Joba/Robertson, Wood, Mo is a pretty damn good bullpen.

    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.

    well, the day is not a total loss for you guys:

    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.

    It's worth a shot, especially for the cost.

    Why not? Only $750k and the yankees have money to spend, haha. Worth a shot I guess.

    What are the options if Lee signs with Texas, and Andy Pettitte retires?

    1. Zack Greinke
    2. Zack Greinke
    3. Zack Greinke

    Which honestly, is probably better in the long run because of age and cost, but it will cost so many prospects.

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

    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.

    I think your applying problems with both those guys from this past season with two seasons ago.
