He's such f*cking trouble. We should have gotten Vlad. This is the only mistake George has made in the last decade.

THE YANKS BETTER BE ON THE HORN FOR ANOTHER BAT....B/C IF YOU THINK WE HAVE A BIG TIME OFFENSE - ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE PLAYOFFS WHEN THEY COULDN'T GET A FEKN HIT....NOT A FEKN HIT!!!
SO NOW THEY ADD DAMON...FINE - BUT - SHEFF LOOKS LIKE HE'S ON HIS WAY OUT HERE....AND THAT WOULD BE A MASSIVE OFFENSIVE HOLE TO FILL....MASSIVE....39 HR'S 120 RBI.....WHERE YOU FINDING THAT?

YANKS ARE IN BIG BIG TROUBLE....

I can't complain with the production, but I was on the Vlad bandwagon myself. Anyway, no matter what happens this year, I think Sheff needs to go when the year is over, I don't know who is available who could be a suitable replacement, but we need to cut our ties with him as soon as our '06 season ends, whether it's before the playoffs start or if we're celebrating #27.

Anybody know of a guy who will be an fa at the end of the year that could be brought. I think Hunter is an fa but he's not exactly going to fill that hole in the lineup.

Well, he could be good for 35 hr, the problem is he's also good for a K in EVERY big situation (though Sheff hasn't exactly been awesome in the postseason), and he won't be playing the OF. He'll go to Boston or the Mets before ever putting Yankee pinstripes on again.

:laugh:

I gotta be honest though, as much as I hate the guy's guts, if he's the best option to replace Sheff next year AND he's willing to play the OF, I'd probably support bringing him back. He did jackshit for us in the playoffs after '01, but the same can be said of Sheffield since Game 3 of the 2004 ALCS. Sori could come here and put 35 hr, which is basically what Sheff has given us so it's not like we'd be losing much offense. The guy is a f*cking selfish, arrogant prick though, and even if I'd accept him coming back here, I'd still hate his guts.

He goes to the Red Sox, it's a .315/50 HR/40 SB season.

The biggest one was balking at a long-term deal the year before. As I recall, it would have been 10 years for 90 million. George didn't like long-terming before the end of arbitration eligible years and it hurt him. I think he did it with others, but I never paid attention to contracts until recently.

Actually thats true. 9 years 140(10 years 90 maybe?) would have been a bargain had he just let Jeter be the highest paid for a few months. Not to mention shutting out Stick, Womack, Wright and the new "yankee stadium". And thats just last year.

I remember the reason Jeter didn't get it was because Steinbrenner didn't want to make him the richest man in baseball. So I think it was 140 for 9years, not possitive though. Both are possible since they were talking about it for a few years.

It was comparable to the Mike Piazza deal at the time and Piazza's was in that territory. The market just shot up after George waited a year. 9 years, 140 doesn't sound right, because even that is high, but I could be wrong.

New York and Jeter's agent, Casey Close, have been talking about a $118.5 million, seven-year deal.

I was off on the years, that does sound familiar though and 14 mill per was around what I though. If my math is right 06 would have been his walk year had a 7 year deal been signed instead of a 10.

Yeah, the total amount was around Piazza's level, a bit higher. I don't know why I was thinking 90 million, but when 189 was thrown out the next year, it just sounded absurd

Yeah, it was just over Kevin Brown's total salary and average salary per year, which caused The Boss to hessitate(ironically). Then A-Rod got 25 mill and suddenly Jeter became a 19 million a year player. It was WAY too much and even though I was happy he got 10 years, I was annoyed that the cheaper deal didn't go through. If you think about it though. Jeter at 6 mill a year less than A-Rod seems to make sence. If A-Rod was a 16 mill a year player, wouldn't Jeter be a 10 mill a year player? If A-Rod just got 20 a year wouldn't 14 be more than fair for Jeter? A-Rod is the one that f*cked this one up. :yes:

You want to raise Babe Ruth from the dead, you old koot? Who else is there?! Those are the FA's next year. Unless there's some Jap or Cuban out there.

If I had my choice, I'd sign Lee if he doesn't want too much money.

My fat heart still has emotional ties to Soriano, even thought I hate him. I'd give him another shot! :-||

I'm all for Carlos Lee and possibly Soriano.

Homie and Rob -

Guillen is an a-hole, plain and simple. Proves it time and time again - wears out his welcome wherever he goes.

Drew - overpaid, underplayed - always hurt.

Alou - older than Gategem

Klesko is done.

I thought Drew got a 4 year deal from LA and last year was his first? Guillen would be a nice fit, but he's got the a-hole factor

I just checked - he has an option to void the deal...yeah, like that's going to happen.
