Obvioulsy not at all realistic but can you imagine if the Yanks landed both Sabathia and Peavy? Not impossible but not at all probable. Would be sick though.
Also rumors of Yanks trading Matsui to Seattle for the Rowland pitcher then using him as part of a package for Holiday.
IF in a crazy world all of the above happened:
2009 Yanks would have added: CC, Peavy, & Holiday
Would lose: Matsui, Cano?, Melky or Austin Jackson and def....Hughes or Kennedy maybe both.

I gotta tell you, it sure feels GREAT to be a WORLD CHAMP.

GO PHILS!!!
maybe you wont have to wait another 20 years for your next one.
i want either Peavy or CC...although cc was being treated like a rented mule that the end of last season, that has to take some toll on his body. and dont even tell me he plans to pitch in the WBC
Yankees will spend a lot of money again and STILL suck...you can't throw money at the problem and think it will build you a TEAM..it will only build you a group of me guys...
i don't have a problem with the move. assuming he's the understudy to a bigger named first baseman, he's a better option than wilson betemit and plus he can play the outfield.

wilson betemit was in the deal, so essentially this a backup first baseman swap with the Yankees getting someone who also plays the outfield.

not a bad trade,....and as mentioned he can play any outfield spot pending what happens there,...abreu etc. If no other 1b is brought in I see swisher being the main guy there.
also.....word is yanks plan to send sabathia quite the offer tomorrow

exactly. i hope they're not ticketing him for 1st or CF. He's a pretty good bat off the bench (power wise, not average) or backup. It's amazing how far this guy has fallen. he was an up and coming star just a few years back. He hit .253 with 35 HR's and 95 RBI's a few years back.

I think he's a swing guy, though I wouldn't necessarily object to him playing center field every day considering what I've seen from Melky Cabrera so far.

I'm really hoping gardner is the everyday CF. If melky's with the team in 2009, it's only to play late inning leftfield, to take over for Damon or Matsui. I think Gardner will be great. Hit in the .280's, walk a lot, and steal 50+ bases. Play the best centerfield we've seen in a long, long time. He'll bat 9th all year, and take over the leadoff spot in 2010. I wonder if the Swisher move is a precursor to a Damon or Matsui trade?

I'd say more likely for Damon to be traded than Matsui. Only on the basis that Damon can be an outfielder and designated hitter where Matsui's knee surgeries limit him to being a designated hitter.
As for Gardner, I like his ability to work counts. But he has to hit, which if he does at a .260-270 clip you'd take with the anticipation that he's going to get better. Considering his defense, you might even settle for .245-255 range average-wise.

agree on gardner. I really like that dude. he seems like a guy that couldve been on the late 90's team plus he is fast as hell. I'd like to see him be the man in CF. Melky has always been a 4th outfielder to me.

If you believe the comments that are coming out of the Yanks, then Swisher could be the regular 1B and is not likely to play CF unless they need some flexibility. You get the impression that he is more likely to play the corner OF spots than CF. He seems to me like a younger more versatile version of Giambi. Low BA, lots of BBs, power hitter. His RBI total was pretty low this past season, but that is mostly due to the fact that they had him hitting leadoff. He's also good friends with C.C. who is clearly the Yanks #1 priority.
BTW.....it sounds like the offer being made to Sabathia is somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 years at around $21 - $24 million per year.
