Winter meetings update

As heard on YES

So far the BoSox uhave added a mayor star in Crawford. I alwys thouht he would be awesome in Yankee Stadium, but the Yanks would have to move someone. Might be too costly, also. The pursui of Cliff Lee continues. Last offer was in the range of 7 years and CC money. (160 mil or so?)

I'm not crazy about that deal. Guy is 34 or so. Outside of cheaters like Clemans, how many fireballing 40 year olds do you know?

I'd be more comfortable with 5 for 115, with an option for a 6th. He'd be 40 then.

Yankees ink the Captain for 3 years at 51 million. That's 17 per.

Jeter Gone?

Rumor mill is in full swing. The New York Post photoshopped a picture of Jeter in a Red Sox uniform.

Hank Steinbrenner released a statement that the Yankees have made the free agents(Jeter, Mo, and Pettitte) very, very rich and should just sign for what the Yankees offer.

Damn, I've Been Gone a Long Time

Let's see....hmm the Yankees won #27

They lost this year.

Who won? I think it was the Giants. Didn't even catch an inning of the Series.

Okay, we're caught up.

Big news now is Jeter. Yankees offered 3 years 45 million, which would be a cut in salary. Jete said no. Rumor is he is asking 6 years.

Jeter is th Mickey Mantle of this generartion of fans and they won't allow him to walk. This is the wrong guy for the Yankees to go cheap on.

I'm finally home so expect me back with more hot stove reports, and some NY Giants.

I told you he was a punk; Kevin Youkilis

Did you see Kevin Youkilis charge the mound because he got hit? He threw his helmet at the pitcher, girlie style, and then got thrown to the ground.
This is a pitcher who two years ago was pitching high school ball. Not exactly a guy who has perfect control.

Youkilis is a punk. Jeter and A-Rod get hit in the double digits each year, and when was the last time they charged the mound? It's because they aren't punks like Youk.

Time for him to grow a set.
