Who is ready for another Yankees championship season?

The Sox basically quit after that trade, if they hadn't already on Bobby.  The gap between the Yankees and Red Sox isn't great.  The gap between those two teams and the other three is widening and not in the right direction for our fandoms.

That isn't true either. Boston is at least 6-8 wins worse than the yankees at this point. Even though the yankees didn't improve in the offseason, neither did boston. They signed horrible deals with Victorino, Dempster and Drew and Napoli won't replace Agon's run production.

The Red Sox improved based just on the fact that Bobby V is gone and so is his terrible decision making.

 

We'll have to wait and see how things turn out, but I don't think those deals will prove to be that bad.  Not as bad as A-Rod's.

Only A-Gon is a valid point.  Victorino for Ross/Nava.  Drew for Aviles are pushes.

 

If the Sox get productive seasons from Papi, Els and Middlebrooks, the Sox will be a lot better. 

 

If Lackey can hit his Boston average of 13 wins, he will have two more wins than Beckett, Cook and Dice-K combined.

 

If Hannrhan and Bailey pitch to their career norms, Boston will not lead the league in blown saves.

 

While the Sox did not do any sexy moves, their moves couples with health will get this team to 80-85 wins.

One prediction-the player most likley to cause the Yankees grief is not Rodrgiuez; he's probably done. It's Cano. The Yankees are going to let someone else overpay him. Would bet no small amount fo money this will be his last season in the Bronx. Cano is coming off the worst postseason in NY since Winfiled in 1981the Steinbrenners are done wiith long term nonsense after A-rod(and to a lesser extent Jeter), he has Boras looking to get him a max money long term deal  and he is rumored to be "good pals" with roiders like Melky and A-rod.

The Yankees are lucky there isnt a salary cap because their management is on par with the rest of the bozo NY teams in terms of idiotic management. 

 

Lonn Trost trying to spin Stub Hub as the enemy might be the dumbest point I've heard out of Woody, Tanny, Dolan, Wilpon etc....Going to be A LOT of empty seats in the eye sore of a new Stadium the Yankees have.

And now, they have to compete with the Dodgers for most money spent on salaries.

Managers have so little impact on games they aren't even worth talking about.

I think 80-85 wins is about right.

They should just let a computer manage. It can spit out the lineup and a player can submit it at home plate before each game. More money to spend on players this way.

Actually you don't need two base coaches either. Just have a 1st base coach and he can text the runners as they get to 3rd.

Stop.

Go Home.

Slide.

Yeah the only thing older rosters need is more youth. #ScienceofWinning

FA classes get worse every season and the yankees have like 5 good prospects who could be long term. cheap contributors and you want to trade one of them for a guy who's 37 and a DH with a 320s OBP as a 6 week replacement for Granderson. Thats as dumb as it gets.

Of course he does. He's a Cubs fan.

You're on the right track, but the characterization of Soriano as an over the hill DH is lazy at best and dumb if I were to label it fairly.

G'luck with Juan Rivera and Matt Diaz. The Cubs have plenty of prospects to fap to whole dreaming of a nice cheap future.

He's a 37 year old DH. What isn't true about that?
