The Official 2012-2013 New York Yankees Offseason Thread

1. Jeter
2. BJ Upton
3. Cano
4. Hamilton
5. Tex
6. Arod
7. Ichiro
8. Nunez
9. Cervelli

Cervelli should be the batboy at most.

Hamilton can barely handle Texas. No way he can deal with the Bronx. He will relapse by July and I don't think that is funny and I am serious. I would rather he stay sober and far away. It is just a game. Not worth dying for.

[Utd7]

I like the Choo idea he would fit nicely replacing Swish.

[The X]

I want ortiz as a DH, also what would it take to get Brian McCann?

[Utd7]

^^^Hopefully ATL declining his option.

Yankees likely to make Swisher a qualifying offer but only to retain the draft choice not him

#yankees will pick up the $13M option on granderson's deal for 2013. easy call there, despite postseason struggles.

C - Martin
1B - Tex
2B - Cano
3B - A-Rod
SS - Jeter (Nunez may be the opening day starter if Jeter still recovering)
RF - Ichiro
CF - Granderson
LF - Gardner
DH - Someone cheap

Maybe a couple new arms in the bullpen, but most of the cast will return for 2013. I expect no significant changes unless Kuroda or Andy do not return, then we'll be in the market for a replacement.

[Yankees90.]

Upton is not coming here. (Although I sure as fk wouldn't mind it)

CF- Bourn
SS- Jeter
2B- Cano
1B- Tex
3B- A-Rod
RF- Ichiro
DH- ?
C- Martin? Unless something better comes along.
LF- Gardner


Although unlikely, Im going to say Grandy gets traded. Swisher walks, and A-Rod stays put.

Definitely the most likely. Not to say it won't worry the hell out of me though. Like Swisher or not this lineup isn't as good as this years.

I imagine they'll be in another holding pattern hoping to see what the next wave of prospects (Williams, Sanchez, Austin, Heathcott) do next year before they do anything too huge. We just have to pray they do better than the last wave.

[SACNYY]

He's right. Everyone blames him, but the fact is that besides Jeter and Ichiro no one else hit. Especially Cano. But everyone goes after Alex and it's not fair. Cano was worse.
