    I just read a bunch of articles from NY papers regarding a-rod....this is going to be real interesting if he is determined to play. And, marking his territory? a class act, for sure :fp:

    I wish he would just go away.
    I am very excited for arod haha. I am in the vast minority, I know. For one, the offense sucks and I don't know if he can dh regularly and hit after almost 2 years off, but they need anything he can give. Also, I don't think this team is all that great and I am looking forward to the circus that is spring training and him going on the the road. Should be comical
    I guess in a way it will be good to see him eat shit everywhere like he deserves. I don't even care about the roids, it's all the bullshit he spewed that makes me despise him. Such a phony.
    Oh yeah, he is a phony and a huge dirtball, but I don't know, I never hated him as much as the rest of the world. I guess it's because I have just always loved watching him play baseball

    Yankees must love the fact they get to pay Arod another $6M when he catches Mays. I'm sure there will be a big celebration.

    Kind of surprised by the report that the Yankees are prioritizing signing Robertson. I thought they would let him walk.

    Miller and a draft pick or Robertson?

    Oh boy, gonna be one of those Friday's. Yankees always seem to make moves on Friday's.

    Sounds like Jeter's replacement may be Didi Gregorious. Shane Greene likely traded. If that is all, big big fan of the trade.

    Could be a really strange infield.

    1st: Tex/Arod
    2nd: Refsynder
    SS: Didi
    3rd. Prado

    Miller next to fall this afternoon?

    Done deal. Interesting move. Not a ton of power on this team.

    Tanaka (elbow?), Pineda, CC (?)

    Where do they go with the rotation? Nova should be back in June but who knows.

    Fill out with guys they know? McCarthy has to be an imperative now. Am sure they would take Kuroda on another 1 year deal. Add Scherzer to that mix? Scherzer, Tanka, Pineda, McCarthy, CC/Nova/Kuroda? There is no shot that happens, but my god.

    Not a ton of power, but have to figure as it stand today Catcher: McCann, 1st/DH: Tex/Arod, 2nd: Refsynder, SS: Didi, 3rd: Prado, RF: Beltran/Young (when Beltran is DH), CF: Ells, RF: Gardner

    Pen; Betances, Robertson/Miller, Lindgren, etc.

    Starting rotation above.

    This team could be in a lot worse shape. Infield is getting younger. Still have old and very bloated contracts, but I don't hate this. Like I said. No power though.

    don't think I've heard of him

    Talented shortstop. Not a lot of big league experience. 243 average. Only 24, hopefully he can figure out the hitting part. If he can hit 280 and play the field well, I will take it.

    Sounding like more of a .260 hitter but a good glove. Maybe a little bit of power in yankee stadium. 10 home runs maybe. Not a bad pickup, I don't think. Love the cheap, young, cost controlled aspect. That's what this team needs.

    And Andrew Miller. 4 years, $36 mil

    I like it too. He's young, he could still develop a little as a hitter. I wish Arod would just retire. I have a feeling he will be a strikeout machine when he comes back unless he really shortens his swing.

    Going to be a really interesting team next year. As bad as it sounds. If Arod can provide any power, they need it desperately. If McCann can rebound, Beltran can stay mildly healthy, I like this team and they are still going after pitching.

    FUCKING GET SCHERZER NOW

    Miller got less than I expected.
