didn't these assholes try throwing money at a championship alredy? how does having all stars work for them at every position when they don't have enough starting pitching? They got 2 pitchers, what about the others? Mussina and Pettite are gone i believe

As a Red Sox fan, I smile. The Yanks did something similar the year they got A-Fraud and all I heard that offseason was how great they were going to be. I also remember how that season turned out. Good to see the Yanks are reverting back to the ways they were in the 80's. Sox will win the AL East, and the Steinbrenners will be writing a suicide pact shortly sfter.

Everyone should just unload on the Yanks to win the WS next season. No way they lose even with A-fRod batting .080 in the post season.
CC, AJ, now MT... and maybe even Man-Ram.

Too many stars in a team dooms championship aspirations. Yankees need to learn from Phil Jackson. You need Jordan/Pippen or Kobe/Shaq as your only stars playing with a bunch of nobodies to build a dynasty.

they have mercenaries, not winners
tex and arod aint winners, they are phonies
cc is a winner, but weve seen him in the loffs
bring back brosius, tino and bernie and chemistry and theyll win
but you cant buy chemistry
yanks suck

People seem to forget that the recent Red Sox's championship teams were pretty much bought the same way.
Man-Ram = Indians
Big Pappy = Twins
Bloody sox = Dbacks
Whos your daddy = Expos
Dice-K = Lions

big pappay was not bought dude. nobody knew he would be that good.
yes they bought pedro, but they won a trophy before they got dice k. dice k is worthless anyhow
i hate the redsox, but they know chemistry. their clubhouse could handle having a nut like manny in it bc they had leaders like tek and lowells.
schilling is apiece of shit

how do you play baseball all your life and have an arm this weak? I always laughed at this. I know high school softball players (15 year old girls ) who can beat J. Damon in a game of "Long toss".

The big difference was these guys were bought over a decade. The Yankees just spent $55 Million in a matter of a month.

They have a real shot this time around. A-Rod is the best player in baseball period. How lights out was CC for the Brew Crew this year? Lights f!@#ing out baby. Petitte is coming back. So Wang, CC, Burnett, Joba and Hughes out of the pen.
Yankee haters are Yankee haters. We have a new stadium and now we have the arms which we have lacked for the longest. We needed a 1st baseman so why not the best one available? Can't believe heads are saying Tex sucks.......

JBC, I think Tex is a great player. CC has done nothing in the playoffs. Neither has A-Fraud. Will the Yankees win a lot of games? Absolutely. Will they win a PLAYOFF game? If you look at their core players, there playoff experience has a lot left to be desired.

Yankees also resigned Ed Whitson and Steve Kemp.
Signing a bunch of guys to big contracts never works!!!!!! I thought they learned that when they scraped that way of doing things in the early 90's and instead brought up Bernie, Jeter and Pettite through their farm system.

Yankees last won something in 2000? Right? They wasted 3 billion dollars in salaries in the last 9 years and won nothing.

Since money is no object for the Yankees this is a great signing. Great offensive and defensive first-basemen.

What is wrong with the signing. He is a top 3 first basemen in the league. Bolsters the offense and defense. He is in his prime, and will put up big numbers for the majority of the contract.

Well see, their defense is still garbage at every key position, but I have a hard time not seeing this team in the playoffs.

i agree with everything you said
they dont have a single plus defender (except tex), hell, they barely have any AVERAGE defenders. (they have the worst fielding outfield in mlb, the worst ss and possibly the worst 2b, along with an avg, at best 3b)

It's remarkable how much teams undervalue defense. Small market teams should be loading up on plus defenders.

the rays have A+ defenders at 1b and 2b, and a potential great one at 3b. I think also bartlett is pretty solid, not sure about his arm. it really won them a lot of games. as evidence by them going to the ws while nyy stayed home with their garbage d
