Good evening. Not a lot has happened in Yankee Land today, but another pitcher is off the Free Agent market. Roy Oswalt agreed to a deal with the St. Louis Cardinals.
This thread is for you to talk about anything that comes to your mind.
Have a good night.

NEW YORK YANKEES NYY TRADE RUMORSBlog at WordPress.com. Theme: Mystique by digitalnature.
Very interesting piece on bleacherreport yesterday. Here is the link if anyone is interested.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1043081-new-york-yankees-5-reasons-cole-hamels-will-be-in-pinstripes-in-2013
UYF busy day just catching up on everything now. interesting take. Still alot needs to happen. I think if Mo comes back that will hurt the chances of getting Hamels.
It could happen though.
One thing I know for sure is when/if Hamels becomes a Yankee that you will be first in line for his jersey at Model’s.
I will be one happy camper that’s for sure IF it happens.
The author’s math got a little confusing to me. I know when UYF broke it down we decided they had a certain amount to fill basically 7-8 positions.
It will basically come down to what do you think the yanks should invest there money on because they really can’t afford a $20-24M SP and a $18-20M OF unless you short-change a lot of positions in the everyday lineup.
We can hope Mason Williams, Gary Sanchez, etc can contribute in 2014 but I think it’s very unlikely they are both ready to be significant contributors as starters at premium positions (C & CF) in 2014 when they haven’t played above Rookie Ball and Low A, respectively.
UYF – Do you recall what we came up with in terms of available money for open positions?
Fishjam – Yes it was $39 to $40MM +/- for 5 positions.
CF
RF
Set Up Man
DH
Starting Pitcher
Here were my suggestions when we discussed it:
Possibilities for:
Center Field $18MM
Jacoby Ellsbury
Curtis Granderson
Josh Hamilton
For SP $5.5MM:
Chin Ming Wang
Set-Up $5MM
Joba Chamberlain
DH:
Use Money for CF
RF $10MM +/-
??????
This was basically the scenario I drew up:
……………………………….W/Jeter in Line Up
POS…………… NAME ……………………………….2014
C……………..Austin Romine………………………$500,000
1B………….…Mark Teixeira…………………….$22,500,000
2B……………Robinson Cano…………………..$20,000,000
SS/DH…….…Derek Jeter………………….…….$8,000,000
3B/DH…….…Alex Rodriguez…………………..$27,500,000
LF……………Brett Gardner…………..………….$7,000,000
CF……………Center Field Player TBD…$16,000,000 / $18MM if we use DH Money
RF……………Right Field Player TBD……..…..$10,000,000
DH/Util Inf.….DH / Util. SS – Player TBD………$2,000,000 / -0- if reallocated to CF
SP1………….CC Sabathia……………..………$23,000,000

Util.-SS…..…..Eduardo Nunez………………..….$1,800,000
Util.-OF…..….Chris Dickerson…………..……….$1,500,000
Util.-OF Prospect/Rookie (ie:Justin Maxwell)………$500,000
15……………Balance of 40 Man Players…….….$2,000,000
………………Player benefits………………………$10,000,000
………………Incentives, etc……………………….$6,000,000
TOTAL Payroll………………………………………… $188,500,000
Just a quick little follow up to the post I just did. Those numbers assume Jeter is in the line up without him there is a little more money because the assumption I guess would be Nunez would pick up that without picking up what would have been Jeter’s salary.
