New York Yankees Talk

[ugotme]

I know what they said but I doubt they will be able to stay under the $189 million limit they have set.

[2BNTV]

They don't want to pay the high luxury tax is the real reason because GOD knows they have a bushel full of monies especially from their YES Network.

They always spend what's necessary to get into the playoff but winning the World Series is another story.

We'll see what happens in 2013. :smiley:

The Royals have stated they have a $70 million limit :grumpy:

Chavez signs with the D-Backs. Keppinger close with signing to White Sox.

D-backs add Eric Chavez, Wil Nieves to bolster bench | MLB.com: News (http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121205&content_id=40539762&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb)

Will the Yankees land Youkilis?

[ugotme]

And so it goes . . .
Now A-Rod will be out until May or June so they need a 3rd baseman.

I think (hope) Cashman will come up with a few surprises. God knows he needs them !

[anarick]

ARod had surgery in 09 on one hip and he came back with some bounce. After all he had a great world series. He was 33 back then. Now he's 37 and when he comes back from surgery in June he'll be closer to 38. That's 38 with two bad hips. Bad hips means slow bat. Slow bat means lots of K's. He should consider himself lucky to be standng after 5 years when his contract expires.

Possibly caused by using PED's.

The yankees signed Kevin Youlillis.

Yanks fill A-Rod void by inking Youkilis to $12 million, 1-year deal | Hit and Run - SI.com (http://mlb.si.com/2012/12/11/yanks-fill-a-rod-void-by-inking-youkilis-to-12-million-1-year-deal/?eref=sihp)

Third base is now resolved and now have to get Suzuki for right field and maybe a catcher is available?

[Tom Hannon]

Uke is a gamer and a good man to have. Only question is his back. A good move but surprised it took 12 million to sign him. Ichiro is solid and my kind of player. I still feel grandy is going and Josh is on his way

[ugotme]

Okay, it's time. On the count of three. . .1. . . 2. . . 3 -

The Yankees closer and the greatest ever, Mo Rivera to announce his retirement this weekend.

This will be Mo's last year. A.70 ERA in playoffs and a 2.21 ERA in the regular season. We will never see another one like him. Thanks for all the great memories you have given us. GOD Bless and stay healthy.

As you know 2B he will be sorely missed.

The prob. with "my" Yankees is that they are getting old. Don't want to see them go through that process of getting older players to try to win NOW !

Yanks used to have one of the best farm systems in baseball. It then went downward. Can not honestly say that I know the shape it is in now.

As in the previous years, we will be there (In the playoffs). Just not sure we can go all the way. Of course as a fan I KNOW we can.

We shall see.

So who will be playing third base for the Yankees this year?

[Yung Dum]

So who will be playing third base for the Yankees this year?
What?

[bluedog103]

So who will be playing third base for the Yankees this year?
Who's on first

[bluedog103]

So who will be playing third base for the Yankees this year?
I don't know, and that's my final answer.

[2BNTV]

I don't know, and that's my final answer.

"I don't give a darn". Oh, he's our shortstop. LOL

[DonH57]

I thought what's his name played third.

[bluedog103]

Who?

[2BNTV]

Who?

First base, What's on second. I don't know, third base, How did I get on third base?

The greatest comedy routine ever. I marvel at how cleverly, it is written. :D

A-Rod won't be on third for 2014 as the arbitor has ruled against him. He's only going to lose 24.5 million in salary. Off to Federal Court. What a mess!!!

I think he deserves this suspension, as he has never been genuine with dealing with Jeter and other teamates so why would he tell the truth about his steriod use? That's why he had the nickname of A-Fraud.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

It looks like they are in big trouble. Are the little Steinbrenners trying to save all of Daddy's money?

LGY....LGY....LGY....LGY. The most exciting game in sports to me the seventh game of the Playoffs or World Series. It doesn't get any better than this. Let's see on the road game six could they win sure but that's not the Yankee way they have to drive your blood pressure up and take it to the seventh game. As usual I think we have them right where we want them. It's gonna be great! Especially since there is not Pro Football this year.

The initial post's on here remind me of the day's when Mr. Steinbrenner owned the team. If you are a long term Yankee fan did he drive us nuts or what? The thing I remember the most was His Facial Hair Policy. There will never be another team owner like him. What a great memory. He ran a tight ship!

Everybody around us in NJ were METS fan's, heavy duty and most friends down here are Red Sox or Cubs fans.

I am a Mets fan over the Yankees anytime.

I was looking forward to a New York Yankees - Brooklyn (oops! L A.) Dodgers world series. They were foes six times during 1947 -56. What history!. Just think of the rosters for that period.

How is it that with the top two highest payrolls in baseball, these two teams don't meet every year.

How can the Yankees possibly have lost to the Houston Astros whose payroll is about 60% of the Yankees.

Baseball and all four major sports really should do something serious about a salary cap. This idea of adjusting for location is not working. Allow every team the same amount of money and let them go at it. Too many pennants and World Series have been bought.

Only 158 days until opening day. Yipppee!!! How many years has the salary cap issue been around and what changes have been made? To travel to Yankee Stadium, tolls, pac the kar, have a soda and a hot dog and buy a pennant is easily $200 or more. I don't think your typical fan would go to the game unless top drawer talent is there, at least in N.Y. I'm rooting for the Astros they really showed me they've got heart.
