Response to #4 This is real funny. I really want you to do more research before posting anything. I named your 13 players who are going to be free agent (restricted free agents, mutual option, and arbitration) Yankees do not have significant free agents as Red Sox do. Here?s the lineup. Hope this makes you think twice (katti repeat garney same kura bro lai) before you write something. If you have 13 out of 25 players need new contract extension, what does that say to you? Pitchers: Bronson Arroyo Alan Embree Keith Foulke Curtis Leskanic ? free agent Derek Lowe ? free agent Pedro Martinez ? free agent Mike Myers ? free agent Curt Schilling Mike Timlin Tim Wakefield - (retiring???) Catchers: Doug Mirabelli ? free agent Jason Varitek ? free agent Infielders: Mark Bellhorn - free agent Orlando Cabrera ? free agent Doug Mientkiewicz Bill Mueller David Ortiz Pokey Reese ? free agent Kevin Youkilis Outfielders: Johnny Damon Gabe Kapler ? free agent Kevin Millar Trot Nixon Manny Ramirez Dave Roberts - About the Yankees. No 1 thru 7 hitters are following: 1. Derek Jeter - SS 2. Alex Rodriguez - 3B 3. Gary Sheffield - RF 4. Jason Giambi - 1B 5. Hideki Matsui - LF 6. Bernie Williams - DH 7. Jorge Posada - C All signed thru next year :=) I want beltran (to play center field) and may be kent (to play 2nd base) find about the studs if already haven?t heard about them ;) and if we get them any idea what's the lineup will be??? Pitchers Signed: 1. Mussina 2. Kevin Brown 3. Vazquez I want Yankees to sign 2 quality pitchers one being lefty :=) Bullpen??? Tom Gordon and Mo have a contract for next year as well ;) Now do you know why Baseball world is not talking about Yankees Roster. Anyway I gathered the soon to be Yankees free agents list: DH - Ruben Sierra, 2B - Miguel Cairo, Enrique Wilson, backup catcher John Flaherty, three backup first basemen -- Tony Clark, John Olerud and Travis Lee -- and unremarkable pitchers Esteban Loaiza and Tanyon Sturtze and serviceable and pitcher Orlando Hernandez. here's what you have to say about the GM "As of Free agency and players signing and leaving the teams, we have a guy named as Theo Epstein hired to manage the business. He had now proved that he is the best" If winning one championship makes you the best in the league. I want you to name Flordia Marlins, Anahiem Angels, and Arziona Diamondbacks' GMs name :=) Win few more like Brian Cashman did, and baseball will think about it ;)
