He could either be Ken Griffey Jr, injured all the time and never reach 660 HR, or he could be the second coming of the Babe, earning the right of calling the new stadium "The house that Alex built" thru his records and rings.

There was probably more to it than that, but it did happen. He did have his best season this year while hearing constant questions about his contract.

Plus they're throwing in our current CF'er. It's a good deal for next year but long term I don't like it.

Not so sure. If that is the whole package, then you can probably bet the Yanks go after Rowand or Jones, and then what have they really lost? Basically Hughes. A-Jax is looking good, but we're still talking AA. Hughes would hurt a lot because I love the guy, but you are replacing him with Santana. Its a lot to give up for one guy, but that one guy happens to be Johan freaking Santana Crazy? Not so sure.

I think it's a good deal for both the Yankees and Arod. Arod wants that ring and maybe now that all this contract crap is behind all of us, he'll settle the hell down, play ball and bring 27 to the Bronx.

He also thought the Yankees would never give up AJax an Melky, 2 CFs, at the same time in the same deal.
