CC is unlikely to completely fall off the cliff over the next 3 years and he will likely opt out. At that point, someone else can pay for his decline or the yanks can have the atm with foul poles provide some extra cash. In the meantime, the Yanks get to bring their young arms along slowly and see what they have. I'm neither a cash lover not hater, but i think the opt out is pure genius. the only potential downside is disastrous injury or horrible performance, but that's always the risk that you take.

I also love hearing all of the bitter Indians fans calling into to radio shows and wishing ill will on the Yanks and Sabs.... Enjoy Cliff Lee and the 22 wins he will get for the rest of his career....

Maybe, conversely, who would have thought almost the whole team would underachieve in 2008. With bad years and injuries, this team struggled to win 89 games. We could use a solid middle of the order bat...Manny, is not one I would be in favor of but, I may be in the minority here. 27/09. Four guys bouncing back?
