    It's a shame none of Donnie's kids have the same skill level he had. It would be pretty cool to see a 2nd generation of Mattinglys in pinstripes.

    Sherman says the Yanks are only willing to go one year for Jackson or Kuroda. I like it. :thumbup:

    I wouldn't mind a 1-year deal for Jackson. He'll probably be better than AJ unless AJ bounces back the way Mussina did after his awful 2008 season, so they could stick AJ in a long relief role and 6th starter in case of an injury or another starter underperforming. Anything beyond 2012 is too much of a risk for Jackson, especially when there are some good pitching prospects who could fill a spot in the 2013 rotation.

    Agreed, there is no risk in a 1 year contract, I would consider two years if the price was right. He'll be better than AJ, both erratic as hell though.

    I was surprised to learn that he was drafted in the first round in 2006. I was also surpised to learn he's 24 and still playing in Single A ball while batting .231 last year. Something tells me if his last name wasn't Mattingly he wouldn't be playing any longer.

    The Yankees supposedly have some interest in Oswalt and Kuroda. Between Oswalt, Kuroda, and Jackson I think I'd have to pick Oswalt on a 1-year deal. I'm sure that Jackson would give them more innings, but I think Oswalt would be mroe consistent when he pitches and would be a helpful guy to have help teach the younger pitchers and he's got a very good post-season record.

    Not an advocate of doing something just to do something and getting in a bad situation. The trades so far for pitchers have been horrible and the asking prices have been too much. Get a 1 year deal and hope like hell Hamels hits the market next year.

    I agree one year is the only way to go especially with Hamels and Cain potentially available after the season.

    Not as much nervousness as much now I've convinced myself that it's not happening and I'm standing by that statement. Because of this I don't want to look like an idiot - thought this isn't hard to do.

    There is no risk in a 1 year deal and I am sure they'll be able to get one of them for 1 year considering pitchers and catchers report in 37 days. Sounds like Cain may be getting close to an extension, hope not.

    I hear that. That's what I did with CC this past year and it worked out alright.
