The Official 2012-2013 New York Yankees Offseason Thread

[Yankees 1903]

Time to put this up. There will be a flood of offseason related threads coming (already a few up) and many can be combined into this thread.


EDIT: If YC or RY could fix the thread title that would be great.

Why, Headley is overrated. He's not worth the price at all.

I copied your thread title from last offseasons thread just to keep things the same. Now "Official" is incorrect. You did this just to set me up jd!

Other than bringing Kuroda back, Haren would be my first choice. I don't know if the Angels have officially declined his option or if they even are.

[theslick1]

Other than bringing Kuroda back, Haren would be my first choice. I don't know if the Angels have officially declined his option or if they even are.

They haven't yet declined it, but rumors are that they will. They want to spend the money on Greinke and, surprisingly, Torii Hunter. Haren likes Anaheim and has said he'd play for less than his option price (15.5M). Ervin Santana is expected to have his option declined. Maicir Izturis is expected not to be re-signed either.

[TRUTH-TELLER]

MY PREDICTIONS like a modern day Nostrodamus

#1 AROD or Girardi one of them is leaving town

#2 Rivera and Andy hang it up for good

#3 Jeter won't be playing SS maybe 3B if the A-cancer gets launched

#4 Swisher gone Suzuki stays to play RF

#5 Yanks resign Cano to a very bad contract out of panic (and he never lives up to it)

#6 Kevin Long fired

#7 Tony Pena leaves to manage his own team finally

#8 The yanks don't chase any big names in FA cause they are all about profits and not winning. (George will be missed more than ever)

[Vintage]

Under the radar names at each position of need offensively

Todd Frazier 3B from the Cincinnati Reds.
Justin Ruggiano OF from the Miami Marlins
Martin Maldonado C from the Milwaukee Brewers
