    I'm sure both will be back....Granderson only becasue of the money. If it was hiswalk year, no way. Maybe in the off season he will realize he doesn't have to pull everything. :fp:

    In today's POST http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/yankees/ ... mGkMAwAP/0, five players the Yankees should look at and reasons for it

    1 - Carlos Betran - would only be available via trade

    2 - Torii Hunter - is 37 but still good defensively

    3 - Jeff Keppinger - You might need someone younger to back up third base besides Eric Chavez and he hits well, at least he did last year.

    4 - A.J. Pierzynski - In case Russell Martin goes elsewhere, has lefty power 27 homers, though 24 were off right-handers, but .248 average against southpaws.

    5 - Scott Hairston - could fill the role of Andruw Jones and is younger and hits lefties better

    Man, Beltran is going to be the one that always got away for the Yankees. Definitely dodged some bullets injury wise, but god damn, he would have looked good in pinstripes.

    Michale Kay is awesome. Nothing better than interacting with him between innings at the game. He's such a yankee fan.

    Also it appears Soraiano opted out of his last year of his deal.

    Another Boras act to hold the Yankees hostage. :x

    Perception. I'm sure they have worse people on their teams. And he's not even a bad person and knows a lot about the game. If he plays a full season. He's still a .280 25 hr 90rbi guy.

    That was expected. They're going to have to let him walk if they're going to stick to their under $189 million in 2014 plan.

    I don't know about you but I just don't see that number as achievable...unles they defer money, backload contracts,etc but then youre just robbing peter to pay paul.
