ARod will sign for $30M to whoever wants to pay it.

I would love to see them sign Andruw Jones for center. Move Melky to right. Leave Matsui in left. Keep Damon as DH & backup OF. Dump Giambi already.
When is Giambi's contract over with Yankees? One more year left? Someone called WFAN this morning and said ever since Giambi joined Yankees, we never win the worldseries. And he said, it's a Giambino Curse. He was very frustrated Yankees fan.

Giambi has a 7 yr contract. I believe he has one year left. Pay him off and dump him.

yeah it was sad. i believe in what earl weaver once said ; " you can only manage men so far, after a while they all know everything so you have to move on".
with that being said. sorry joe it has been a good ride. but everything comes to an end. he was given a billion dollars and could not reach the alcs. give him a job in the front office out of respect.

with that being said:

mo, pettit, posada are all questionable when torre is gone.
abreu club has the option. putting it frankly- 295 hitter, 15-18 hrs 100 rbis is not worth $17mil a year. if he takes a pay cut he will be back
vizcano might come back.
giambi can be traded if the yanks are willing to throw in about 4-6 mil a year. he has 1 year left @21 mil a year.
Arod- look if he cant see that he has a good thing here then bye. more then $30 mil a year? take care now dont let the door hit you where the good lord split you
mo, pettit and posada i am sure will all come back. see the mets as serious suiters for them respectively.

the yanks need to scrap it and get back to what got them there. on base % guys with good pitching. we need starting pitching. with the loss of pavanos contract coming off will help. DO not get anymore japanese pitchers. do not be dictated by what the sox do with there offseason respectively. this will help. also
bruan cashman-- 4 words-- kei igawa, carl pavano. nough said. you are gone!.
clemens let him go what a bust he turned out to be

Just curious as to who the current "aces" are? Wong is supposed to be the ace and he had an ERA of 19.00.

Wong is great in regular season. He will win atleast 18 next year and I am sure he'll get better. Hughes and Jabo. And let's assume Pettite stays, that's why Yankees need to keep Torre. Yankees got 4 great pitchers. Let's just if Yankees go out and get Johan Santana, this is unbelievable team.

its not the curse of giambino its not torre its not clutch hitting or the curse of arod.it all comes down to pitching.if your starters dont come through and they give up runs early it meeses up the addrenalin"i spelled that wrong" of the whole team and its hard to come back from that.with that said LETS GO METS

Why would you leave 1st base empty? This team had a MLB leading batting average of .290. If they can hit as a team like that with Mientkiewicz at first, why not leave him there? His defense is as good as any gold glove 1st baseman. Would it be better to have a .300 hitter there who can field like Mientkiewicz? You bet your a$$ it would be. But name just one who exists (not even asking if he's a free agent or available, just if one exists).

As for the opening you left in the OF, go after Andruw Jones. With all the money they'll be saving (from your calculation) they can easily afford him.

ok, i'll give you Mientkiewicz, Betemit, and Andy on first. i don't think they need to sign anyone in OF. you still have melky, shelly, damon, and matsui. just concentrate on pitching. i would try to get sanatana. at this point i would throw in Wang for him. you would have joba, huges, andy, kennedy, and santana,.. not bad 5

eat some cash for giambi and trade wang and giambi for sanatana
