Throw the bank at Teixeira

Would solidify first base for the better part of a decade. Guy is a professional hitter and gold glove caliber defense. He hit .358 with Anaheim once he was traded into a playoff race. Took away probably two doubles last night alone against the Red Sox. 8 years, 175 million for a guy that is 28 and would consistenly put up .300 30 100+ .400 batting behind A-Rod.

They still need pitching, and I don't know if they'd be able to get both Teixeira and Sabathia.

Teixeira is too expensive for above average offence. Pitching Pitching Pitching.

Agreed. Get Tex and at least one of Sabathia or Burnett. Anything beyond that is gravy. I'd also bring Moose back if he's reasonable (2yr 20mil with an option). We need a short term fix in center. Perhaps Cameron?

Pretty good all around:

Sabathia or Burnett
Joba
Wang
Moose
Hughes (Aceves, Coke, Kennedy)

Posada
Tex
Cano
Jeta
Arod
Damon
Cameron (?)
Nady
Matsui DH

Mo
Melancon
Coke
Veras
Aceves
Bruney
Geese/Alba/Sanchez

Bench
Molina
Gardner
Ransom
Bat off the Bench (Miranda?)


Trade Marte (Things go better with Coke! :smirk: )
Send Melky to AAA as insurance
Send Betemit to AAA as insurance

With $80+ million coming off they can more than afford two top free agents, and even overpay to get them. Whether it's Sabathia and Teixeira or Burnett and Teixiera, Cashman needs to get it done.

Teixeira's salary would equal Giambi's coming off the books. It shouldn't prohibit us from getting Sabbathia also.

No thanks! I just don't think Texiera is worth that kind of money. The Oakland Giambi was......Tex isn't!
