course, I don't think the giants were dangling $12M in his face.

What about Hershiser?

I also saw the Giants kick his ass at chavez latrine in his cy young year. total beatdown.

I don't know if I am slow, stupid, out of touch or a combination of all of them, but I have never heard Chavez Latrine before and find it hilarious.

If the Yankees' offseason has proven anything, it's that the club is still willing to bet on veterans. Until Tuesday, the Yankees' only off-season business, other than passively watching the free agent defections of Russell Martin, Eric Chavez and likely Nick Swisher, was the re-signing of 37-year-old Hiroki Kuroda, 40-year-old Andy Pettitte and 43-year-old Mariano Rivera. Now they have begun to address the gaping holes in their lineup, first by replacing one broken-down, formerly iconic third baseman -- 37-year-old Alex Rodriguez -- with another in 33-year-old Kevin Youkilis. ... They are by far the oldest team in baseball, made so because their player development system has failed to produce any players to replace the aging core.

The comments at the bottom are hilarious.

DO they have anyone in their 20's??

It was a rhetorical question, (my sarcasm didnt make it through) They are still one of the oldest teams in baseball apparently...but thank you...nearly all pitchers.
Lets hope that outfielder they're going to be looking for evens that up some more.

Angels now have an extra outfielder. One may be even more pull happy.

They may be wise to hold onto all of the extra pieces they have.

Ichiro for two years at 13 million. Reasonable I guess if he plays like 2nd half Ichiro.

I'm pretty neutral on it. Hopefully it ends up being a good investment.


I'm a little nervous, actually a lot nervous, with the lineup.
