Kidhuman Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Minky at 1B, Wilson at 3B, Giradi as a player manager at Catcher, and for a closer, JOba. They fill the spots with 2 more pitchers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt both Mo and Pettite will leave though, meaning we'll only NEED to sign one FA pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Not sure what it would take....maybe Cano/Melky and another prospect to the Braves for Brian McCann I could live with a Duncan/Meinkiewicz platoon at 1B Other than that...just don't feel like looking at all the potential FAs at the moment. I have a feeling Jorge leaves and if so his bat needs to be replaced. McCann is a guy who would do wonders in Yankee Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uart Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 I love Duncan, but is he REALLY more than an occasional player at 1B? Yankees need to fill in a LOT of offense if ARod and Posada are both gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have a prospect in the minors? We need to get hitters in the 3 and 4 hole, a SP, a Closer, Set-up, and some bullpen otherwise. I filled this in based on your scenario, of Petitte/Posada/MO leaving. I doubt that happens, especially with MO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anskyruben Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I'm sure we can sign some free agents plug into those positions. I want to see this team concentrate on pitching. We turned into the Indians of the late 90's. Trying to win a championship outscoring everyone, instead of pitching like we did during the dynasty.

I have a feeling Jorge leaves and if so his bat needs to be replaced. McCann is a guy who would do wonders in Yankee Stadium. Yanks need RH bats as it is.... McCann doesn't help there though he's a good hitter. They need to make a big play for Cabrera or sign a Andrew Jones type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. I am assuming the Sox resign the WS MVP.....if so you have to admit the Yanks have no right handed presence in their line-up. Jeter is a nice average hitter but you need some pop from that side or lefties will kill you without ARod. What a difference a year makes....Lowell is now a nice commodity and not the guy the Marlins dumped in raping the RSox in the Beckett deal.

madmike1 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Why would you guys want Joba closing if he can be a starter?

Not great, he's good. He'll get you around 20 HR's and anywhere from 85-95 rbi's most likely. He also plays a flawless 3rd base. What about that argument bothers you?
