*if he gets traded here
*if we re-sign him
*if we sign him

Bullpen still needs work and I'm not sure we'd sign Rowand, we might just let Damon play CF.

if we get santana and keep Joba and hughes, along with wang. plus Andy or Moose.

i think ur lookin at a solid 100 win season for sure. pending injury of course

I gotta say I would much rather see the Yanks keep their young talent and have a 2008 team that looks more like this:

Starting Pitching
1 Wang
2Pettitte
3Moose
4Joba
5Hughes
With Clemons for 1/2 a season and Ian Kennedy as a fill in guy

I agree this is where the Yanks need to really focus their attention

Also I ask is the team you listed really that much better then the team I have listed? Thinks to think about; We would be giving up every top prospect the Yanks have minus Joba and Hughes in projected deals we've heard about. Also if you believe some reporters say Phil has to be part of the deal to net Johan for the Yanks.

exactly i think most our starters are relatevly young they
can take it to 7 innings, its just sometimes the starting pitcher give
up early runs that will damage his psyche, and sometimes the tank
is just empty,and thats the time you need the bullpen to step up
and take the lead to the greatest closer of all time.

does anyone else think Cano should be higher in the lineup? maybe 5th behind ARod

I was thinking the same thing the other day. I know Posada has a good bat but I think it would be good to not have him batting directly behind Arod. I think Cano would be a better choice. I think Giambi should be put there early on to see what he can bring from the DH. Let Posada go a little lower in the lineup. -Jitpal
