    Not surprising.

    I posted that my Yanks would get him in some other thread about this Japanese dude.

    Those dumbass Steinbrenner kids finally realized this off-season that they needed to start spending money like their daddy did.

    You mean by overpaying for Ellsbury, not re-signing Cano, and now spending 155 million on a guy who has yet to throw a pitch in MLB?

    Yankee fans better hope this isn't another Matsuzaka

    I thought Cano was a bitch no matter what numbers he puts up.

    I've always like Pedrioa better than Cano, but of course the Yankees may never get Cano.

    And I don't care how much money the Yankees spend. The Yankees are like the Treasury of pro sports, they will always have whatever money they want.

    Hell, me and I would guess the vast majority of their fans buy at least 4-5 of those around $30+ New Era Yankees hats every year so I assume they aren't ever hurting for money.

    The Cardinals are still better and they don't spend anything like what the Yankees do. Yankees love to bring in big names they won't win shitt this year.

    Their rotation is a bit more solidified now. Bullpen will still probably be an issue. If Texeira can even be 70% of what he was before the injury then they can win 90+ games.

    Matt Thorton was a tremdous pick up for that bullpen.

    maybe the best LH relief pitcher in the game not named alroldis chapman
