Lets imagine Manny against the Red SOX. Would Manny not want to rip them to shreds?Who does that benefit? GO GET JUAN CRUZ AND MANNY!!!! Don't let this guy get away! He is an RBI MACHINE!!!! Remember Cash,and Hal you are losing 197 RBIS, Abreu and Giambi and with them, our offense sucked, scored three or less runs in 70 games! Pathetic!

From $16MM to $10MM to $5.5MM? Great job Ca$h! Now we NEED to go sign Juan Cruz and we’ll have an elite bullpen as well. DO IT CA$HMAN! MAKE THE PUSH! GO FOR BROKE!

I hope that Cash isn't done. I'd still be looking to trade Nady -- career year, so he has value. Only 3.3 pitches per plate appearance, not good, not on my roster. We could use a backup catcher who can hit. Oh yeah, that can free up money for Juan Cruz. With Ramirez, Coke, Marte, Bruney, then to Mo, that's quite a bullpen, though not quite as good as the starting pitching. :) That’ll be some rotation in Scranton.

You're upset about "probably" and "might" and "brings up questions". Equivocations like that are basically mediaspeak for "some people hold the opinion of B-Jobbers, maybe they're right, who really knows, we sure as hell don't." Really?

Assuming his shoulder is healthy, the Yankees are back to where they were a few years ago where you can pencil in 95 wins based on the starting pitching alone. Pettitte's base salary with incentives was an excellent idea. It was a nice compromise and both sides walk away saving face and getting a livable deal. I’m pleased that Pettitte is back.
