		<description>I highly dought Yankees can afford mauer and Pujols. I mean their contracts will be 25-30 million a year, so 50-60 million a year for just both those players.

Pujols has made an announcement to stay with the cardinals extension for the rest of his career. He is an awsome player, he values the team he loves over money. Mauer will also stay with the twins, because he loves them as a team. Papelbon is a possibility but red sox are going to extend him probably.

Even if the Yankees did sign all those players, there would be a strike that would bring an end to the existence of the New York Yankees.</description>

		<description>Maybe one or two appearances… sure. I could see that. Probably five passed balls in those two games and eight SBs against… but I could see it… in like, an emergency situation or something. For example, both catchers on the roster get hurt in a game and theyre looking for an emergency catcher and someone mentions Montero used to catch in the low minors. Totally possible.</description>

		<description>Prospects are just that - prospects - until they can prove otherwise.  Even if the Yankees develop 20 catching prospects, the chances of any of them becoming a full fledged perennial All-Star like Mauer are slim to none.  The list of top picks gone dud are huge whether due to injury (Mark Prior) or just failed to meet their potential (Alex Gordon).  Mauer may just be the best catcher of all time and you don&#039;t just let that go because you already have $ committed or prospects with potential coming up.  IF he becomes a free agent, expect a bidding war of astronomical proportions between the Sox and Yankees.</description>

		<description>Montero may develop into a primo hitter in the bigs. But based on reports form scouts &amp; savvy observers, his defense &amp; game calling will need to drastically improve. Up the middle strength is a constant requirement. As much as Posada has done at bat - who needs a rerun of downhill defense btp.</description>

		<description>I think the Yanks should go after Mauer.  We trade Montero and Romine, who are not sure things, and we get the best catcher in the league.  Mauer hitting in the two spot behind Jeter and ahead of Teixera and Rodriguez becomes one of the best top of the lineups in baseball, and thats just his bat.
     We all know the way teams play aginst the Yanks, and that is to exploit Posada&#039;s weak arm and steal bases like crazy aginst us.  Almost all the teams nowadays are being built around speed,and by aquiring Mauer this strategy will bve useless aginst us because of his arm.
     When a talented, top of his position player like Mauer becomes availabele, you gotta go after him, and if it means sacrificing prospects than you do it.  I love to see homegrown yanks, but i think in a situation like this you gotta take the sure thing.</description>

		<description>he doesnt need another year, he is already three times batting champion and mvp in his 4 or 5 years .it looks like he will be the batting champ for the next 7 or 8 years baring an injury.hitters dont lose it quickly as pitchers</description>
