The same people who want him will want cashmans head and complain when he sucks after he's signed. And won't admit it.

Only Soriano. I guess you count Feliciano too.

And Soriano was a weird situation.....Feliciano a wreck.....hence, the Yanks are now basically scrap heap vet buyers......and pretty good at it.

Red sux close to resigning Ortiz to a 2 year 26 mill dollar deal. For a DH. Oye.

I don't see whats so crazy about that.

I'd take having an elite hitter in the lineup every day over rotating position players where garbage hitters like Jones, Martin, Nunez, Nix, etc...get DH days.

For those who wanted haren

#Angels are on the verge of trading RHP Dan Haren to the #Cubs for RH reliever Carlos Marmol.

Luckily for the Yankees almost every free agent pitcher this offseason falls into the "scrap heap, hope to get lucky" pile so they'll have a lot to choose from.

They didn't resign him. They just added a year to his contract so he could buy more captain crunch.

Well looks like he might become a free agent. Deal fell apart. If angels don't pick up 15.5 club option.
