    His numbers may be missed, but he will not be. In fact, I believe the Yankees will continue the trend of teams getting better when AFRaud leaves.

    Seattle 2000 with him 91 wins
    Seattle 2001 w/out him 116 wins

    Texas 2003 with him 71 wins
    Texas 2004 w/out him 89 wins

    This isn't a game or 2. 15 and 18 win improvements, after losing the supposed best player in baseball

    agreed!
    I think he's a jinx
    My dad says that too-b/c he wears #13
    I'm calling it right here-Yanks WS champs next year :)

    I'm not crazy about Crede either. We need the real #13......Mike Pagliarulo. Wow, I haven't said that name in a long, long time.

    you're worried about losing a injury prone outfielder who is a average everyday contributor?

    pettitte declines option. Wow, that's a stunner. I guess he's serious about retirememnt. he may still come back, as he said last week that it's retirement or the Yankees.

    But he had a nice tour of Chavez Ravine yesterday.

    doubt it. He said before signing for 2007 and again in the last few days that it's either the Yankees or retirement for him. 99.9 % of players, I'd say bullshit, but not with Andy. Sounds like the same $16 mil for one year deal is there for him should he decide to pitch in 2008. Declining the option just allows him more time to decide

    Hopefully they can talk Andy into returning next season with the idea of helping to mentor Joba, Hughes, and Kenedy.


    Wow! It's like Joe is getting the band back together our west. Bowa, Mattingly, and maybe Mazzili. Is he gonna drag Mel outa retirement to be his pitching coach too?

    Mel's Seattle's new pitching coach.

    Mel has already come out of retirement, taking the pitching coach job in Seattle. He seems like one of the nicest and most sincere guys in the game. Baseball is better for having him back in the game.

    yanks may offer A-Rod arbitration. Although I don't think he'll take it.

    I think it's guaranteed they'll offer. that way they'll get compensatory draft picks from whoever signs him.

    yeah, I saw that in the paper. By offering it, they get 2 picks (a 1st round, and a sandwich pick, between the 1st and 2nd round) If they didn't offer arbitration, they would get nothing.

    No kidding? Oh wow. Good for him. I didn't know that. that's pretty cool. They said on the news on Channel 4 that Clemens is considering a coaching job w/the Astros. LOl-he can coach them how to hit someone w/a pitch!!! J/k.

    They also said the Mets and Angels are talking to A-Rod's agent?
