    Lose a high draft pick AND pay that ridiculous amount of money for a set up guy....I know money isn't an issue with the Yanks, but that is fucking insane.

    The thing is, he is only a set up guy on the Yanks. He is a closer and being paid like a closer, one of the best in teh league at that, which he is. Yes, it is a steep price but they have the money, with lots to spare for pitching and an outifeld bat.

    And here we go. Yanks are willing to trade Joba in a package for a starter but it would have to be a bigger package for a legit stater. Good news. Start this package with Joba and Romine and see what you can get.

    This not signing Cliff Lee thing for 7 years may end up just fine (as much as I really wanted him on the Yanks)

    Who are the candidates they may be going after? Say Cole Hamels and I'll rip your balls off.

    hahahaha, beats the hell of out of me. Not many teams are willing to sell at this point so we will see. I am not sure they will get anything done before the season but I like the sound of this. Getting a legit starter at this point will take some serious selling on Cashmans part.

    Edit: I just hope if he starts the season with the Yanks, it's as a starter.

    Thames signed with the Dodgers. What an awesome year he had last year. Wish they could have brought him back but there is no way he can do that again. Your turn Andruw Jones...

    YANKEES CONSIDERED CARL PAVANO
    The Yankees paid Carl Pavano $39.95MM from 2005-08 and got 26 total appearances from the right-hander, who made annual trips to the 60-day DL. But Pavano's first stint in New York didn't stop the team from considering him this offseason. GM Brian Cashman told reporters, including Peter Botte of the New York Daily News, that the club had "several discussions" with agent Tom O'Connell, who represents the 35-year-old

    Seriously? My heart skilled a beat when i saw the headline.
    As for those several discussions did they start with "so how about working for free for a year or two after all we paid him for to sit around and do jack shit?"

    Yeah, you can try to look at it from an unbiased perspective, but there's too much bad blood there.

    That's unfortunate, Thames was pretty damn clutch.

    Sooo....Marchand made a good point. Cashman approved of a Pavano deal but didn't approve of the Soriano deal :oops: :oops: :oops:

    I would have made my way up to Yankee stadium every 5 days, bought $1,200 tickets behind the dugout and screamed in Pavanos face for 7 straight months had the Yankees signed him.

    Sad to see Thames go. I really wish he got a ring. One of my favorite part time players in a long time. That bomb off papelbon was fucking awesome.
