1. Yankees checkbook and sign Texeria. Let Giambi go.
2. Resign Nady and Abreu
3. Get a top rated pitcher and send Joba back to the pen.

Comments and/or observations encouraged. Please add to Santa's list.

I'd love to keep Matsui, but I'm willing to trade him for a top rated pitcher.

Now if we trade Matsui, would you guys like to see Abreu in majority of games as DH? Do you think Abreu would be good or receptive to DH? If that is the way to go I guess Damon in left and Nady in right. So next question: Who we get for CF?

1. Agreed.
2. Nady is arbitration eligible, so there is no need to resign him right now. I would only bring back Abreu as a DH, but I would go after Manny first.
3. Agreed on the top starting pitcher, but I disagree with sending Joba back to the pen.

I'm shocked you're willing to deal Matsui. I want him traded too. Open up DH for Manny or Abreu, and like you said Damon plays left, Nady right, and I'm not entirely sure who I want in center yet.

Unrealistic list
-Matt Kemp
-Texiera for less than a Giambi contract or James Loney
-Kerry Wood to set up for Mo
-A time machine and Posada in a Mets Jersey

Realistic list
-With Abreu, Giambi, Pudge, and possibly Mussina, Marte, and Pettitte leaving for draft picks, I want the Yankees to be complete assholes in next year's draft. After this Cole thing the Yankees need to make a statement. I want them to spend so much money that a work stoppage is almost necessary. I want Selig to try and veto several contracts the Yankees give out.
-I would like Sabathia or Sheets AND Burnett
-I wouldn't hate one of Pettitte/Mussina as the 5th starter, but bringing both back is asking for trouble and neither should get more time than 09
-I think the Yankees are going to have to get creative with 1B. If they don't get Tex, and frankly with what he is asking I don't want them too, Jeter, Posada, Damon, Matsui, and Nady all have to become options there, and frankly if any of them end up there Manny becomes a must.


Joba to the pen would be insane.

Joba back to the pen? Put down the saki.



Rotation for '09

Sabathia
Wang
Joba
Pettitte or Moose
another starter

I think they can switch Joba and Wang at this point.

Sabathia
Joba
Wang
Pettitte/Moose

Sabathia is the priority.

They have to get Sabathia and Manny. Don't really care what they do after that as long as it isn't something totally stupid like handing Mussina more than a one-year deal.

3 years for Moose, 2 for Pettitte, 3 for Pudge, 4 for Abreu, and a Posada in a pair tree.
