The 2006 New York Yankees
Jistic started the early trend, so we'll refocus our attention on the upcoming year for the Yanks in here.
What do you guys think so far of our moves? Been a decent amount of minor changes and nothing too big, which I like. The centerfield situation remains the biggest concern still. It'll be interesting to see how we go about handling that. An article on ESPN.com today says Boras is asking 7yr/$84 mil for Damon. We better not go anywhere near him at that price. I'm a little dissappointed we didn't get Pierre either. |
Re: The 2006 New York Yankees
Considering it would only cost $2 Million for the Twins to buy-out this player's contract even though its worth $24 million for the next 2 years... the Yankees should keep a sharp-eye for this player:
He would make a valuable 2nd in the order hitter while Jeter continues to lead-off... this way we can move Matsui back to 5th/6th in the order to beef up the heart of the lineup. Torii Hunter will also add depth to our baserunning after New York traded away Tony Womack. With Matsui back in the middle of the order, that will also increase A-Rod's attempts to steal with more protection behind him. |
Re: The 2006 New York Yankees
I am actually quite happy with the offseason so far. They are making small, yet important moves. I am not really a Farnsworth fan, but considering what the market was it is a decent signing. I like the Villone trade. I just pray there is no Johnny Damon. His contract would be crazy. As the previous poster said Hunter could be out there this season or a FA next year. We could also dream about Andruw being a FA next year.
They still have the talent to contend without making real big moves. Why waste money on a weak FA class? Just some thoughts.. |

As far as leading off, he can get on base all he wants but I am more concerned with the consistency of some of the batters that follow in the order. |
Re: The 2006 New York Yankees
Yanks made it official today, signing Bernie to a 1 yr/$1.5 mil deal. Performance based incentives could have Bernie earning another $1.5 million.
It looks like Bernie will start no more than 20 games in CF in '06, he'll primarly be a DH and pinch hitter. |

I'm confident that Pavano, if he stays, will revert back to his CY Young caliber stuff/season(s). I hope he stays in BX.

I think he will stay, no one is going to want his salary plus his new "risk of injury" problems. I'm pretty sure he'll be here for the duration of his contract. I'm looking forward to seeing how he'll do in his second year in the Bronx. |
