The Official 2012-2013 New York Yankees Offseason Thread III

[Bivory]

Our payroll is currently $170 million and we are complaining, hilarious!

Yanks are like the US and we should spend the way the US does on defense spending. We should have a higher payroll than the next 10 teams combined. I wonder how much more expensive the best seats in Yankee Stadium are compared to the avg team? 5 or 6X???

greinke will perform well, i dont think he will have any issues with that contract, i dont get the hae on him , he is an ace, he has one of the best repertoire we have seen

What is Cashman waiting for? Not signing a catcher or right fielder before you signed Pettitte and Mo just doesn't make sense....now there's talk of trading Granderson then A-Rod out til mid season (maybe longer) and the Captain...is he for sure ready by spring training?? Am I missing something here? If the season starts today....this is what the lineup looks like:

1) Jeter-SS- will he even be ready?
2) Ichiro-RF- he's not even signed yet!
3) Teixeria- 1st
4) Cano- 2nd
5) 3rd base- TBD? What? Who?
6) Granderson- CF...if he's trade bait who's replacing 40+ HR's?
7) DH.....really??
8) C- guess the umpires are catching pitches!
9) Gardner- LF

The season doesn't start today, don't jump yet.

That is a boatload of cash for a guy who is IMO borderline top-10...

Glad it wasn't us

[Thump]

Nah, he can jump...

Thats a espensive for your number 2 starter. Not sure what the Dodgers were thinking here Kershew going want like 30 million if 24 million they spend on a number 2 starter.

The more I think about it, the more I kind of want Dickerson to get a shot at being the every day right fielder in 2013. Kid is pretty built and has a nice swing. Could be our version of Josh Reddick.

In!

I'm going to make a prediction now.

Swisher will run into a problem looking for a long term deal at big bucks.

Cashman will scoop him up at 1/15.


( Hoping I'm wrong cause I want the draft pick)

Hoping you're wrong because I hate Swisher.

[infernoscurse]

normally id want the draft pick but I just dont like damon oppenheimers approach to the draft so i rather stick with swisher

[Harry Dunn]

dickerson is closer to reed johnson than he is josh reddick and even that's a stretch

[JesusMontero]

They should trade Grandy to Rangers for Olt and then sign Hamilton. 3B of the future.

We got no catcher. We got no right fielder. Our GM's nuts are fallin off!
