New York YANKEES spring training thread......... 2 days until season starts: LETS GO YANKEES!

[tbone95860]

One of my favorite pitchers & he had a great year last year.
Too bad to hear.


My predictions on the rotation.....

CC Sabathia
Chien Ming Wang
AJ Burnett/Derek Lowe
Andy Pettitte
Joba Chamberlain

 

[onewearz]

the sox traded coco crisp to the royals today, that could possibly open up a trade for david dejesus

get on it cash money ..........

 

[ooiron manoo]

Needs to swoop in and say NL teams.... you lose, too slow!

All the NL teams have been doing this in regards to Peavy and what the Padres want for him....

Peavy is locked down, so the Pads don't have to trade him. They are asking for a big package of prospects, more than what the Mets paid for Santana. Peavy doens't want to go to the East Coast or the AL, so if he does get traded to the Yankees, expect for Cashman to tear his contract up and pay himmarket value as a condition to the trade (Peavy took a paycut to stay in SD). Furthermore, he was out for a month last season with an elbow strain and hismechanics show signs of a pitcher that is going to suffer a major injury soon. Padres are trying to trade him while his value is high, and before he suffers amajor injury

.

CC Sabathia
Chien Ming Wang
Jake Peavy
AJ Burnett
Derek Lowe/...(Mike Mussina/Andy Pettitte)
Joba Chamberlain
That is highly possible, but the Yanks will have to highly overpay Sabathia, Lowe and Burnett to play in the Bronx. I like CC, and I think hewill be solid in whatever uniform he wears next season. Good luck with Lowe and Burnett. Burnett wants five years,

, walking injury. Derek Lowe wants $16 annually,

, trust me, if you are a Yankee fan, you guys better run to Costco and get abulk package of Tums.

 

[CP1708]

I thought for sure Moose would go for 300.

I hope he changes his mind and comes back for it. We might not see another one after Randy squeaks by.

 

[onewearz]

yanks really should've got johan

DAMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT !!!!!!!!

Moose finishes with 270 wins and a 3.68 career ERA. Is he Hall of Fame material?

in my opinion he is not a hall of famer.
I don't think he's a HOF either.

Congrats to Moose for his service to the Yanks...had some ups and downs, but at least he got that 20 win season that eluded him...should have gotten a ring inthat '01 Series.

I'm hoping Pettitte comes back for one more...

Most likely...

CC Sabathia
Chien Ming Wang
AJ Burnett/(Derek Lowe)
Andy Pettitte
Joba Chamberlain

This rotation is fine with me and it's a good one. I would have liked to have seen Mussina over Andy... but I think Andy will have a betteryear this year then he did last.
I think Burnett will get 4 years & I don't think the Yankees will get Lowe.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Ugh.

I don't want ANYTHING to do with Burnett nor Lowe. I've said it 2430823823 times...but it's not gonna end up good. This dude Burnett been on the DL7 times in his career...elbow problems and all that @%!$. Lowe wants 16 mil a year?

Aceves
Marte
Roberston
Coke
Mo
Veras/ Bruney (not both)
Edwar


w/ this as the bullpen, I like how that looks...

 

[jrp44]

no Moooooooooooosssssseeeeeeeeeee

Pettitte better come back

 

[im cool c]

Peace Mussina. Thanks for nothing honestly.

Coming from a real yankee fan. We got you. You did nothing, but be solid... AT times.

He was paid like a star for no reason.

Peace homeboy. Bring Andy back ! Forget Lowe & Burnett.

QFE.

I swear to God if we sign those two or Ben Sheets for that matter....

Moose.

Thanks for the years of service, you will be missed.

Shame that bastard Everett broke up his Perfect game.

Anyone else think Moose will be in the HOF, just not first ballot?

vs. the Red Sox, David Cone also pitched a gem that night (for the Sox)...but was forgotten in the perfect game hype. ONE FREAKIN' STRIKE AWAY...

I remember watching the game with my cousin...we talked about the perfect game in like the 6th inning and went quiet the rest of the way when we saw it wasserious...didn't want to "jinx" it.

My dumb $** self (right before the pitch that Everett hit) said "Why is Mussina throwing it in the same location as before? Carl's gonna get ahit".

And sure enough...

I received so many punches that night....

 

[tbone95860]

Received this e-mail from Arn Tellem, who is Mike Mussina's agent:

Mike will be making a decision on his intentions shortly. Given the significance of this to Mike, I would hope you can respect his desire to be the author of any such announcement consistent with his own time table. A decision of this magnitude should not be the subject of unconfirmed rumors and speculation. Accordingly, I am not going to make any further comment until Mike has made his final decision.

Word is that an announcement could come as soon as tomorrow. Joe Girardi told us this evening that the team has not had any contact with Mussina or even offered him a contract. So obviously he is retiring.

 

[ooiron manoo]

Boras is going to fleece whatever team gets Lowe. Trust me, there is no Dodger fan that I know that is shedding a tear seeing him go.

He is frustrating to watch. When his sinker ball doesn't sink,

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

i would love to offer arod to the cards for pujols... but that will never gapen

 

[tbone95860]

Phil Hughes in his final start in the Arizona Fall League tonight:

5 innings, 2 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 10 strikeouts. 76 pitches/53 strikes. Both of the hits he allowed were singles. He also struck out four of the last five batters he faced, all swinging.

The Yankees would be flat crazy to trade Hughes. His injuries have all been freak things and he obviously has great ability. Signing big-time guys is fine and it makes sense when there is a need. But the key to putting together a consistent championship contender is developing your own pitching. You need to pay for what a guy will do, not for what he has done for somebody else.

JUST SAY NO TO LOWE.

my new slogan

I'll take Hughes > Lowe in the rotation

 

[onewearz]

i agree to not signing lowe, but if the right player comes up in a deal for hughes ( adrien gonzalez , matt cane, aaron rowand , david dejesus ) , you mightjust have to deal him. hughes right now is a serious roll of the dice. if he can't do it against major league hitting we're stuck with him. i likehughes though so hopefully it works out and he becomes the pitcher the yanks projected him to be ...........

Ehhh...I wouldn't for those guys.

Cane is legit, but Hughes has more upside than him, IMO.

His stock has dropped...but I would rather keep him if those are the type of players we can get for him.
