Fixed.

K-Rod and Sabathia to NYC.

Who's next?

How are you going to use K-Rod as an example dude, Brad Lidge signed for even more money last season (3 years at 38M with the Phillies).

Don't hate just because both NYC franchises make a TON of money. Mets budget is 138M....there are 13 other teams with a payroll ranging from 90M-140M(Yankees are the exception at 200M).

I don't see whats wrong with owners spending money to win, there are a lot of teams making tons of money but are being cheap. I wonder how easy work mustbe for the media covering the Pirates during these winter meetings, dude's probably at the slot machines all day.

SMH.

I cant help but think that he's gonna SUCK now that he is a Yank.

Please prove me wrong C.C

Prove that man right, Sabathia!!

I hope he's as successful as Randy Johnson for you guys, or Jason Giambi. Or even Andruw for the Dodgers.

......Ive got love for him because he's a bay area cat, but its pretty obvious that dudes crumble under the pressure out there

 

[grizztheboss]

yankees definitely over paid him they could have signed about 17 young dominican pitchers with that money

Yankees still won't make the playoffs.

1) he has more then 4 years left
2) We will make the playoffs

Why yes indeed.... we are more then desperate for some damn starting pitching. You don't EVEN KNOW.
And by the way our team will be fine. We're making the playoffs.
We would have made the playoffs last year if not for WANG getting injured.... people forget he was out... and people forget his 38 wins in 2 seasons. Plus Jobagot hurt at one point too.
Last year is over though.... now time to get the SP in order for this year.
No more seeing PONSON or PAVANO

1. CC Sabathia
2. Wang
3. AJ Burnett/Derek Lowe
4. Pettitte/Ben Sheets
5. Joba

^most likely scenario (

)

There are so many ridiculous statements in this thread like this one. People should do some research before posting.

Heres another one.

 

[wraith aka invincible]

what the $$%! was the point of not pursuing johan if you're going to do %#%* like this?

he better have atleast 15w's

 

[jordan201]

What I don't understand is how the Yanks are trying to buy another Championship? Is it the Yanks fault that no other team wanted to outbid us?

 

[blazinjkid]

1) he has more then 4 years left
In the league? Yeah, probably.
Of playing at this level? See: Bartolo Colon

WE would have had to get rid of hughes/IPK for Johan.....Cash has a feeling hughes is goign to be something special...he is only like 22 or 23

that was a trade situation, not a FA signing...i believe, right?

More importantly.... we only have TWO... TWO major league starters right now.
Wang & Joba
And one of those is up for debate....
That's 3/4 holes.
That's 3/4 SP we had/have to get....
Got to fill the holes with someone, happens to be the best pitcher on the market for HUGE $

1. We still have Hughes, Kennedy, and whoever else.... CC cost no young talent
2. He's going to get 15+ wins provided he stays healthy.

 

[dland24]

Im starting to believe that people are not even thinking before posting.

Are you serious dude? I have been the biggest critic of the Yankees for not going after Johan, but these are COMPLETELY different circumstances. Again, do someresearch.

Yeah exactly

 

[dland24]

Its pretty cool for CC to be able to throw the first pitch ever in new Yankee Stadium.

If he starts that day...we open the season on like a 2 week road trip

 

[dland24]

don't blame the yankees for improving their team

blame the mlb for letting it happen

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I see a lot of you guys leaving Hughes off your list. What happened to all the hype he was getting when he was throwing a no hitter before he got hurt?
