Speaking of next year, any more word on Sabathia in an Angels uniform next season?

No offense, but players don't leave The Bronx - The Bronx leaves them.

Not unless the Yanks trade him. He can opt out of his current contract after three years. He'll likely do that anyway to squeeze more money out of the Yanks but I don't see him leaving NY anytime soon. No one else can pay him as much as we do!

Again, no offense to Angel fans intended, but aside from Torii Hunter I can't think of anything they have the Yankees might want - and he ain't enough.

I'd trade Melky Cabrera for Torii Hunter.

I wouldn't. The last thing the Yankees need is another ageing outfielder. They have Swisher signed thought 2010, and they will have to decide on Damon & Matsui, both put up numbers to make it hard to let them go away even thoug hthey are old and brittle. Plus they still need to see what they have in Austin Jackson.

I agree completely. If I was Cashman this is what I would do next year after we win the WS this year. I would not sign both Damon and Matsui ( I believe they are both making $14 million this year). I would take the savings and go after John Lackey (6 years $100 million). I would promote Austin Jackson from AAA to play left and have Melky and Gardner platoon at center with Swisher at right. I would resign Pettite for one more year. The pitching staff would be CC, AJ, Lackey, Pettite and either Joba or Hughes with one of them going to the bullpen as a set-up man for Mo.

I like how you think.

Must just be a rumor, probably started by an Angels fan, down over last nights game.

Blueface · 10-21-2009, 05:14 PM

Can't wait for tomorrow night.
I hope A.J. brings good stuff enough to take it and get this series over with.

OK guys, half hour or so to game time!!!

I am pissing in my pants!

Oh....wait....has nothing to do with the game. More of an "age" thing.
