:dunno: :dunno: :blahblah: :puke: Yankees getting a 2 run homers in the first inning (I think about 4 times in past few weeks and then they sh*t in their pants for the rest of the game. This is not Championship baseball. No tack on's. Very bad acquisitions and bad lineups. Granderson is a bust. Next year I want Crawford in left, Gardner in center and Granderson in right. Nick would be the DH.

No, Jorge should be the DH. Sign Crawford and trade Granderson.

Seriously, get Granderson the fecking hell out of here and let Vazquez walk and never even consider bringing him back.

There are much better option to DH besides a washed up Posada. There is no need for him to be an everyday player anymore. Time to phase him out; he can split C with Montero or Cervelli next year and then goodbye.

Signing Crawford would be like $120M white-out to cover up the Granderson mistake. I wouldn't be against it, but it looks bad. I've said it a million times: The amount of money and advantages this franchise has, the team should be far and away better than its competition. Too much overspending, poor allocation and wasted money. That they're in a virtual tie with a team that's got a payroll $141 million less is a f*cking shame.

Venom: Who's the better DH option? I'm not saying this like, "Oh, Posada is the man! Jizz in my mouth, Jorge!" I just wanna know who'll be out there that would be an upgrade. Outside of Dunn, I think the free agent cupboard is kinda bare.

:no: You don't disrespect a legend like Jorge Posada that way.

When Grandy-Man has a big October you guys will change your tune. Sign Crawford, keep Grandy and Gardner is the 4th OFer.

I'd rather have any of those players DHing instead of Jorge Posada.

I'd rather sign Crawford, shift Gertner to CF, Grandercoon to RF, and have Swisher as the DH.

Posada sucks. I am tired of him. His contract is a joke and he has no business being an everyday player anymore. Anyone who wants a washed up pile of garbage as the everyday DH is lost. There are much better options including some on our own team's roster already.

Don't get me wrong, if Posada could be gone, that'd be just fine with me, but it's not happening. I just don't want him catching a majority of the time.

Agreed. No way Posada is a part time player next year (unless he's hurt) just like no way they sign Jeter for what he's really worth (say 3yr, 30mil). Brace Yourselves: It's gonna be like 4yr 88mil at least...... no way thay give him a paycut.

One of the major problems with this franchise is they spend with their hearts, not their heads; I can't count the number of idiotic contracts they've given out over the years. They give Arod 275mil (+30mil for breaking records) when they were totally bidding against themselves. No one was going to be even close to there and that was after he opted out and cost them over 20mil subsidy from Texas. I can hardly wait until Aroid's 42yr old hitting .256, 13hr 52rbi inept in the field and making 28mil. :gaysmile:

Who the f*ck made Posada the king of the team? Tell him he is going to split time with somebody. Why is that so difficult? He's basically doing that now with Cervelli catching about 40% of the time. Next year it will be closer to 50-50. Posada is a washed-up shell of his former self. I do not want him playing everyday and clogging up the DH spot which should be used for a much better bat.
