    So I'm not the only one suspecting that. Nice win by the Yanks though the Orioles might be the worst team I've seen in a while even though their roster has better talent than the record.

    Just listened to the Gammons interview with Francesca from yesterday (thank god for podcasts). He said the Mariners will only trade Cliff Lee in a package that includes a catching prospect. He said if the Yanks have starting pitching problems, he can see them dealing Romine. Not sure how I feel about this considering he is going to be an FA after this year but that would be a pretty stellar staff. I think I would rather have them wait it out though. I think Romine may be the starting catcher in a few years. Montero is struggling behind (and at, but I am not worried about that) the dish in AAA.

    don't we have 3 "stud" catching prospects? if thats the case this should be considered

    Well yeah, kind of. Cervelli never really projected to be a starting big league catcher, he was hitting .233 in AAA when he was called up and is hitting about .300 in his big league career since and has filled in for Posada betting than anyone could have ever expected. My only worry is, who knows if he can keep these numbers up.

    Romine and Montero are different stories. Montero is a great bat and a suspect catcher at best. Romine is a great catcher and looking like a good bat.

    If they trade Romine my only worry is that, if Montero can't stick behind the plate and Cervelli can't hit, they are shit out of luck for a starting catcher.

    I definitely think it should be considered IF they need starting pitching this year. I just think they need to really consider the consequences, which I am more than sure they will considering the job this front office has done int he past few years.

    or you could sign him next offseason and give up the draft pick. I could definitely see Lee joining the Yankees, especially since him and Burnett share the same agent.

    That is what I am thinking unless Vazquez completely bombs or there is an injury and they need a starter. Lee would fit in nicely, for the reason you stated and he is great friends with CC. A 1-4 staff of CC, Lee, Burnett and Hughes is pretty spectacular, plus if Pettitte continues to pitch like this, I don't see him walking away.

    I do think its either Crawford or Lee this offesason. Can't see them signing both.

    what are the particulars of vazquez's contract? if he completely BOMBS this year... is there a chance to move him at the end of the season?

    Free agent after this season. He said he does not plan to play until he is 40 and might go year to year on contracts here on out. We will see about that.

    Do we really need starting pitching? Sabathia, Burnett, Hughes, and Pettitte are all very solid, and Vasquez is starting to pick it up.

    I'd say our main problem right now is the bullpen.

    Bullpen will get worked out. They will be able to pick up pieces without giving up much.

    The boys are on a roll. Got the lineup back together (except for the DH who is secretly a woman) and playing the worst team in baseball. Just what the doctor ordered.
