one year contracts question

[thapastime7]

Seeing how youkilis could do a ONE YEAR DEAL on a premium would it be possible to offer players looking for multiyear deals large one year deal for the sake of the yankees hitting there 189 mark and be a competitve this year.

for example i did say example josh hamilton offer him a 1 year 35 million
youkilis a 1 year 20 mill
zack greinke 1 year 25 mill

they will be gone at years end leaving our payroll down.

1. Hamilton would never accept a one year deal
2. Greinke would never accept a one year deal

You'll only see one year deals with guys coming off surgery looking to rebound and befgiven a shot at the following year proving they can be signed long term.

3. Youkilis is not worth anywhere near 1 year 20 million.

To answer your question, yes....that theory would work if realized.

Basically you have to have a good mix of developed players coming up and productive free agents with 3-4 yr deals and the you avoid all of this.....

no way guys would tka eone year deals when they can get long term ones. youk will take a one year deal because he doesnt have much of a choice

[thapastime7]

so to put in perpective as a player would you take a 1 year 20 million or a 2 year 20 million

Some guys want the insurance more than money, they'll get paid, but the want to stay under contract for many years in case something happens.
