Morrissey Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Do it for this guy. I'd take the left handed Clayton Kershaw over the right handed Felix Hernandez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonEJet Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 They'll end up with this guy CC YU Nova Hughes Betances/Brackman/Banuelos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The posting fee for Darvish will likely be more than what Dice-K's was. And then you have to sign him. A lot of money for an unproven commodity, especially after Dice-K fizzled rather quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 I like the possibility of bringing in Yu Darvish, but not until webring in someone who is far more of a sure thing in big leagues. We probably could use two starters. I'd prefer trading for a top end starter (Kershaw or King Felix) and maybe signing C.J Wilson in free agency. If not Wilson, possibly Darvish.

Wilson/Yu Darvish Ivan Nova Phil Hughes (Both Betances and Banuelos will likely be gone in a trade for Kershaw or King Felix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson/Yu Darvish Ivan Nova Phil Hughes (Both Betances and Banuelos will likely be gone in a trade for Kershaw or King Felix) Why would Seattle or LA make a trade like that? Felix is under contract for a few more years. Kershaw is arbitration eligible for 3 more seasons. Don't see how that makes sense for either team. I know money isn't a problem for the Yankees, but if CC opts out, might that not cut into how much money they have to spend this off-season?

Blackout Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 not another Japanese player...... oy and Sabathia is not opting out.....and if he did it's only to get a fatter contract from NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly why he WILL opt out. Just like A-Rod did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Yanks won't be given the discount the Sawx did for Dice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle needs prospects in their system to turn things around. Posada and his $15 million dollar a year contract is coming off the books. That frees up a lot of money. Pluss the Yankees still have the Cliff Lee money they didn't spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see them moving Kershaw. Maybe Seattle trades King Felix, but it will take a haul. Are the Yankees willing to pay that price for a starter with may position players being older and having a wealth of young arms in the system?
