Sometimes after rotator cuff or Tommy surgery it takes 2 seasons or 2.5 to rebuild and get back the mojo.
If Prior was healthy and sound, and he works out now to build strength, who knows anything.
Burketthas a new pitching coach guru,
Sabathia had his knee scoped but could stand to lose 40,
Pettitte to me was way better than I expected last year and his post season is always solid, but this guy is now always wanting retirement and how long can he be a playoff stud,
Hughes cab throw 95+ and he may get to the next playoff level and is a future foundation guy, Ivan
Nova has to make a move like
Prior.
I thought Wood was solid and Cashman was foolish if was willing to spend $160M on Lee and not $3M-$4M more or Cubs money for Kerry...just plain stubborn stupid.
Joba is a Nuke Laloosh and lately his fastball is getting rocked. They need to package this goofy putz up and get a lefty reliever.
I would look at Brad Penny, Carl Pavano
for 1 + option loaded deals for $12M/1.
Then again Rafael Soriano is still out there???Strange...Mariano is 42 at seasons end? How long can he be almost lights out and even as an overpaid set-up man he provides insurance for Rivera, or in fact a better closer. 70+ saves in 2 years???
Yankee outfield is weak and could blow up. How do you spend $81M on two guys 37 and 41 in Jeter and Rivera who are sliding fast????
