Daily News Link

Rather than point out the obvious stupidity of some of these writters I thought we could all post our 2009 teams.

Big time free agents between now and then include Santana, Sabathia, Sheets, Mark Teixiera, Torri Hunter, Pudge, Joe Nathan, Fransisco Rodriguez, Brian Fuentes (if I'm not mistaken), Carlos Zambrano, and several others I may be forgetting about(Bedard and Cabrera won't be FA until after 09).

MLB ready prospects at that time should include Horne, Chamberlain, Humberto Sanchez, Jose Tabata, Ian Kennedy, Brett Gardner, Juan Miranda, Steven White, Clippard, Ohlendorf, Britton, JB Cox, Whelan, Melancon, Austin Jackson(outside shot), Jeff Marquez, Chase Wright......

Also relevant is that the following players and their salaries will be off the team by then.

Clemens: 22 Mill (if that isn't how much he ended up getting out of the 28 someone correct me.
Giambi: 21 Mill
Pettitte: 16 Mill
Abreu: 15 Mill
Mussina: 11 Mill
Pavano: 11 Mill
Farnsworth: 5.5 Mill
Viz/Myers/EyeChart: 5.75

Total: 85.25 Million Dollars

What do you expect from New York area journalists? The fact that they use the term "expert" to describe somebody like Bill Maden is hysterical.

My prediction for 09:

TED WILLIAMS HEAD is transplanted onto Robinson Cano's body and he finally shows the hitting prowess he should be showing.
