They could go after Rocco Balldeli, I think he'd be a good fit for them in center as long as his medical condition is solved.

The Yankees lineup was terrible last season, besides Teix who is a solid player (not 180M worthy, he is a guy who quietly gets his numbers) allthey added was Swisher. Nady is a good utility guy, Matsui is always hurt, Posada/Jeter are getting up there in age, Damon is a solid lead off hitter but hewas hurt last season too, Cano's work ethic is in severe question, A-Rod tries too hard in big spots and doesn't swing at strikes. The Yankees HAD toget another middle of the lineup guy because the only one they had was A-Rod, but damn I said it before..any team who signs this guy for that much is going tobe disappointed because with that salary comes EXTREMELY high expectations, and Teix won't provide that (plus he is already 29). He is a very disciplinedhitter though who ONLY swings at strikes, never chases.Originally Posted by madj55

Its New York City.
Ask anyone in the world what's the capital of the world, the center of the universe, they will all say New York City (not LA or Paris, etc).....word to MaxKellerman........people here shell big bucks so why not?
It's a long discussion but this is a good read and will help answer this and any more questions broOriginally Posted by Fede DPT
Can somebody explain to me why the Yanks are now forced to give up their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Round picks to the Jays, Brewers and Angels?
His contract is in line with his production.
It really isn't.
Maybe Manny will be cheap now. Do it Omar.

How so?
Teixeira is probably a 4-5 win player for 2009, worth between $20 and $25 million. Taking 10% off for a long-term discount and you have a fair value price of $18 to $23 million, which Teixeira seems about to get. That's what you would be comfortable paying him if you felt he was going to stay a 5-win player throughout the duration of the contract. What's not being taken into account though is aging curves. While Teixeira is young, when you sign someone for eight years, you better be factoring that in and any reasonable aging projection would have Teixeira losing a considerable amount of value over the life of the contract.
When you calculate the projected extra wins you will have with teixira in the lineup and adjust for inflation his contract is 100% worth it.
wait......wait......wait how can you demand the Yanks have a salary cap as a Mets fan when last season the Mets were ranked 2nd in terms of salarycap.... thats rather backwardsOriginally Posted by worldbeefreeg

Look, Obviously I'm salty at the Yanks as a met fan but it is just a joke when they do this. It is comical, they just get everyone available, spending 10x more cash than everyone else. I hatre these super teams such as the Cowboys and Yanks, and I cringe thinking about the upcoming ESPN suckage. My summer is going to be filled with Ed Werder making up stories about the *@#+@#% Yankees, just great. And the thing is they probably still won't win since the playoffs are just about who gets hot.
