    That would be a great option to fill the Thames role, just don't know if they can get him as many at bats as he would like.

    Imagine if Pryor does great in the minors, gets called up, and has a resurgence in his career and dominates in the majors.

    Would love it but a couple things to consider. Is he willing to pitch the 8th inning and is it worth giving up a draft pick for a reliever? I bet if Pettitte retires they make a strong push for Soriano.

    Mattingly received more votes than Tino Martinez.

    So I guess Soriano says the Yankees are the only team he would set up for and the sides have been in contact. Not sure how I feel about losing a first round pick for a reliever or giving a mulit year contract to a reliever but if you are going to have a rough staff, a bullpen with Joba, Robertson, Feliciano, Soriano and Mo is a good thing. I could be convinced this is a good idea if it were to happen.

    Sounds like it would help fill the void of Kerry Wood.

    For sure, and you can certaintly bank on him being better than Kerry Wood over a full season.

    Edit: Damn, dude has basically identical numbers to Mo last year.

    Doesn't look like the Yanks are going to get Soriano after all, as Cashman is unwilling to give up their #1 draft choice.

    Would give them a lock down bullpen but 2-3 years of good money and losing a draft pick is a lot to lose for a reliever. Like I said, I could have gone either way with this.

    Heyman (Boras talking head) says the Yanks are talking with Jones, I would love this, especially since he can play defense, in case Gardners wrist doesn't hold up. But since it's from Heyman and Jones is a Boras client, take it with a grain of salt.

    Brian Cashman says "it's a misunderstanding" He never said start. Nothing has changed yet.

    Apparently the Yanks are going for Justin Duchscherer now?

    Looks like all of the potential starters they're looking into have had injury problems the last few years.

    There's gotta be someone who's healthy out there.

    Pettitte will pitch this year. I am sure of it.

    Yanks will take some risks on some injury prone pitchers and see what happens. Keep in mind they still have one hell of an offense.

    something tells he Pettitte will come back in June instead of April.
