    I don't only agree but so does Hank Steinbrenner:

    "The biggest problem is the divisional setup in major league baseball. I didn't like it in the 1970s, and I hate it now," Steinbrenner wrote. "Baseball went to a multidivision setup to create more races, rivalries and excitement. But it isn't fair. You see it this season, with plenty of people in the media pointing out that Joe Torre and the Dodgers are going to the playoffs while we're not."

    "This is by no means a knock on Torre - let me make that clear-but look at the division they're in. If L.A. were in the AL East, it wouldn't be in the playoff discussion. The AL East is never weak."

    That's an "if everyone is healthy for most of the season." prediction. And that's even if we don't get C.C. or A.J.

    Milwaukee continues to use and abuse Sabathia knowing he won't sign with them. I really hope they avoid him. He's gonna pay for the overuse in the near future

    Who here is hoping C.C. doesn't have to good a playoffs? Cuz if he pitches the way he has since he arrived in Milwaukee. He's gonna demand more than Johan. Not that the Yankees can't afford it. But it scares me a little.

    I'm glad Cashman is back.

    I think we will trade for Matt Cain(possibly Cano) sign CC, Texeira

    If they trade Cano for Cain...we might go after Brian Roberts
    Gardner needs to start in CF, He'll steal a bunch and play good D

    '09 Rotation

    1)CC
    2)Wang
    3)Cain
    4)Mussina
    5)Pettite


    Hughes will have starts in '09, '10 he'll be full time. Joba,Coke,Aceves will give us 1 of the best pens.


    If we stay healthy, it could be fun

    Matt Cain?

    Matt Cain is signed through 2010, with a team option in 2011 ...

    for a team that just made the collosal mistake of signing Zito to that ridiculous deal ... they (the Giants) need a cheap starter like Cain (he'll make under $3M next year).

    Cano stands to make 2 - 3 times what Cain is signed at for the next few years ...

    Giants need offense. fine we'll give u Kennedy too :D I feel bad for Cain, he deserves some run support

    well, I'm just a displaced Sox fan .. I laughed so hard at the Giants when they signed Zito to what could be the worst contract in baseball history (more than A-Rod's) ...

    Giants need a LOT of things (granted, not so much in the NL west) ... but, there is just no reason to trade a young, cheap, very good starter ...

    I'm sure they'd deal Zito to the Yanks!

    and that's if moose and pettite return. both are mulling over retirement. i read a girardi quote saying he's pretty sure andy will return, but wouldn't comment on moose.

    After winning 20 games, and chasing 300 wins...I doubt it

    He is not a power pitcher, so if he has control over his pitches he can be effective.

    I dont even think the Yanks are dumb enough. He pitched better down the strech...still no where near his contract. I give him credit for pushin forward.

    Mike Hampton didn't really give a shit after he cashed in

    7.17 career playoff ERA for Sabathia coming into this game ...

    do you want to overspend on a guy that melts in October?

    Not me. If we get him fine. But not Johan money or more. Which would've happened if he had pitched the way he did the last 10 or so starts. But then again he has pitched 4 starts in a row on 3 days rest.

    Anybody here pissed that alot of the mistakes the Angels made against the Red Sox in the division series. Would have worked on the Yankees? Like the suicide squeeze for example.
