Crap!

I really don't want them to sign Sabathia. He might be the best option in the free agent market but they're better off going for SP's through trades.
Burnett's a decent option but Lowe shouldn't even be in the discussion.
Add this info to the ridiculous addition of Nick Swisher and the Yanks are not impressing me so far.
I wanted to choke Cashman for adding Swisher. And IIRC, he gave up young talent for him.

??? The Swisher acquisition is highway robbery for Cashman. - musubi Nov 14, 15:31 7
- He's can't hit. They already had a first baseman and CF that couldn't hit. How is he an improvement? In the field? - krusty Nov 14, 15:38
- I can't get past the miniscule production from Sir Swish. -- nm - Diva Nov 14, 15:32 5
  - Look at 2006 and 2007. Even if he only bounces back halfway to that, he *still* way outproduces what the Yanks gave up. - musubi Nov 14, 15:38 1
    - Swisher doesn't produce enough offense imo. -- nm - Diva Nov 14, 15:41
  - Yeah, he didn't even hit his weight last year. That's not good from someone not named Ryan or Prince. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 14, 15:34 2
    - Even with his dismal year, his still has a career OPS over .900, and he's only 27. - musubi Nov 14, 15:41
    - BUT BILLY BEANE DRAFTED HIM!!! -- nm - crash davis Nov 14, 15:36
The Swisher acquisition was dumb. And I agree - Lowe might still be mental and who needs that in dealing with the NY media? - Diva Nov 14, 15:29 1
- The workhorse part is what scares me. His body just doesn't look like it can handle all the work for much longer. - krusty Nov 14, 15:35
yep - say goodbye to all the pizza in Brooklyn -- nm - crash davis Nov 14, 15:26 6
- Seriously, he'd get even larger with all the good food here. That's a scary thought. - krusty Nov 14, 15:29 5
  - There's pletny of good food where he's been. - the liioulu without yarn Nov 14, 15:32
  - He's huge, but he's a really good athlete under all of that bulk. -- nm - Diva Nov 14, 15:32 3
    - I saw the highlights for game were he was tackling thoe cathcer to score. - the liioulu without yarn Nov 14, 15:34 2
      - That sounds terrifying and funny. -- nm - krusty Nov 14, 15:41
      - *laughing* -- nm - Diva Nov 14, 15:35
