NIGHT STALKER Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm betting it's going to be Lowe. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anskyruben Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Peavy is my Xmas wish. But if it's Lowe I will still be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Please let it be Derek Lowe. We need a veteran, not too old, with postseason experience and more importantly, postseason SUCCESS. I want no part of the Yankees matching the Braves offer for AJ Burnett. The only time the guy stays healthy is in a walk year. Get me Derek Lowe and I'm ready to play the 2009 season with the pitchers we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Every time I saw Burnett pitch vs. the Yankees, he was lights out, challenged hitters and threw strikes. We should be so lucky to have the Pods get the stupids and ship us Peavy, but between Lowe and Burnett, I like Burnett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats it. THAT IS IT. You cannot judge a pitcher by just that. You can't. His stats and injury proned-ness shows that the Yankees should stay far, far away. It is Carl Pavano Part II and if they don't understand that than we don't deserve to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anskyruben Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Burnett smells like Zito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxscott Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Burnett smells like Zito Burnett throws 97+ Zito throws 71+/- much more room for error, he is not Zito, or even close to that type of scenerio. injury prone, yes...if you're gonna compare him to a dud, look no further than his former Marlin teammate, Mr. Carl Pavano.

JonEJet Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I don't like either But I guess I'd take Burnett, because he DOES kill the Sawx My wish...Sheets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Jon Heyman of SI.com reports that the Yankees are close to signing Derek Lowe to a four-year deal worth between $68 and $72 million. However, the Phillies are apparently still in the mix, which could keep the Yankees from announcing the additions of both Lowe and CC Sabathia on the same day. Adding both starters would presumably take the Yankees out of the running for A.J. Burnett despite the fact that they were said to be ready to top the Braves' $60 million offer to him as late as Tuesday night.

anskyruben Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Better than giving it to Pettite. I think Lowe has more to offer than Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uart Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 The smart move might be to take a discounted Sheets. Lowe and Burnett are going to be subject to a lot of bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBrick Wall Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 When it comes to Sheets/Burnett, they're both going to get injured. And when they're not, it's Sheets by a wide margin IMO. I would like both Sheets and Lowe. Pretty hard to argue with: CC Wang Sheets Joba Lowe With Hughes waiting as a solid injury replacement. Wow.

Barton Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 17 mill a year for Derek Lowe? That has to be a joke. Ben Sheets I hope for. Healthy he blows away Burnett or Lowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Are you high again barton ? Must be. 1. Sabathia 2. Wang 3. Lowe 4. Joba? Free Agent yet to be aquired that doesn't get hurt every year... no Sheets or Burnett? 5. Hughes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
