    With the Reds putting Alonso on the market, Yankees aren't getting shit without giving up Montero. Might have to wait and see if Cain or Hamels hit the market next year and wait for the kids to develop.

    Another thumbs up to this

    http://riveraveblues.com/2011/11/change ... ove-59764/

    If they can't make a trade for a front line starter, I would sign Darvish and start him in Triple A to let him get adjusted. That would create a big league rotation of CC, AJ, Hughes, Garcia and Nova (in no real order after CC) and a triple a rotation of Darvish, Banuelos, Betances, Noesi, Phelps/Warren.

    Yankees would be looking at having a serious fucking farm system with that. Nova, Darvish, Banuelos and Betances are 4 damn good pitchers to have long term and pretty big trade chips. 2-3 of them are projected to be front line starters.

    Then position wise you have Montero, Romine, Mesa, Sanchez, Nunez and Mason Willliams.

    With that system, the Yankees could easily make a trade for an ace without giving away the farm.

    It's a win every year mentality with the Yankees and the rotation next year looks iffy, but the future looks very bright.

    I have to wonder if they plan on adding another starter this year now that they've re-signed Garcia. I can't imagine they'd knock Nova out of the rotation after the year he had last year and I don't think they'll give up on Hughes, either. They signed Garcia for a reason and I doubt that reason is to be a $4 million long-relief guy. That leaves Burnett and his horrendous contract as the odd man out if they sign a guy like Buehrle or Wilson (and I don't see them paying Wilson what he wants, so that's unlikely unless the price and years both come down). Even with as much money as the team makes, I don't see them releasing Burnett and eating what's left of his deal. Moving him to the bullpen destroys what little trade value he has left unless he turns into one of those guys who pitches better in a 1-inning role where a team might see some value in him if their closer is injured or not performing (but that will still require some serious dollar-eating on the Yanks' part). Unless they pull off a trade that involves Hughes, I'd say it's likely that they start the year with the same rotation they had last year (minus Colon unless he comes back to them as a reliever/6th starter).

    It's all about an upgrade at this point and then figure out what to do if you end up with too many pitchers. Better to have too many than too few. Garcia can be moved if need be with his contract. He could have easily gotten a two year deal but wanted to come back.

    They aren't going to sign Wilson. Like I said, I would love to see Darvish and have him start in the minors and take the time he needs to get adjusted, then come up when the situation is needed. Unless the Yanks can pull of something serious, I am fine with what they have. One of these aces will come available some day and the Yanks are clearly waiting it out.

    Got my season ticket invoice. Ticket prices stayed the same, but for some reason there are less fees. I am getting one more game next year than I got last year but the total price is only going up $5.

    Hopefully Old Timers lands on a Sunday again.

    I think he'll be just fine.

    The greatest of all time turns 42 today and is still the best at what he does. We have been pretty damn lucky.

    Bernie on the hall of fame ballot. Obviously not getting in, but hopefully he can stay on the ballot for a couple years.
