2008-11-25T10:39:08-05:00 No deadline for CC on Yanks' offer 2008-11-24T13:47:05-05:00 11 2008-11-24T13:47:05-05:00 1 2 10 2008-11-25T10:39:08-05:00 66 FL teddyballgame West Palm Beach 90691 11 los214 - unfortunately, 90% of the players nowadays could care less about winning. All they care about is the money. Players are babied by teams if they have a boo-boo because of the money, not because of the will to win. Perfect example is Baby Joba - if you're a major league pitcher, then pitch and win! The sad fact is players play for the money now and winning - whatever you need to do to win - has gone away. 3442443 2008-11-25T10:04:11-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/615/888/thumb/1024x768_dent.jpg 8 NY los214 Great Neck 616528 10 Its amazing how some players want to hold the yanks for a kings ransom. Peavy for example really pissies me off. He needs a new deal to come here??!! let him stay in San Diego or go to Houston and wallow around with a sub 500 team! If you really want to have a chance to win every year, you wanna come to the yanks. Hey Cash, lets start pursuing winners that want to be here and not these players that are on the fence and are afraid of pressure! Winners only need to apply! When I say winner, its a proven player that doesn't think twice about the pressure. 3441825 2008-11-25T09:44:42-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/615/888/thumb/1024x768_dent.jpg 8 NY los214 Great Neck 616528 9 The only problem in waiting for Becket is, these are the Yankees not the knicks. Yanks want to win now, not wait another year, especially with the opening of the new stadium. 3441488 2008-11-25T07:37:23-05:00 1 NY Yankeeheart New York 616310 8 i would never go near Lowe. A) HIS AGENT is scott boras. B) he is 35. C) he too wants a 5 year deal and was pitching very well in the NL. Heyman could you please stop yanking us..we are dealing with Brian &quot;lazzy head cant get anything right&quot; Cashman..i bet ya nobody comes here..why? CASHMAN who i think is secretly working as a spy for the red soxs to ruin the Yankees. plus we have HAL steinbrenner no knowledge of baseball. oh how i miss good old george..if he was in charge..we would have CC, TEIXERA, BURNETT HUDSON, a center fielder. maybe even Peavy,,or certainly we would have had Santana..but it will be a long cold winter..and a lousy season ..lets fire Cashman get fresh blood. new ownership..and go with that..cause right now..it looks like 1990 all over again. when no one wanted to come to the yankees! 3440317 2008-11-24T16:00:47-05:00 1121 CA Yankee27 Castaic 188694 7 Yankees cant bet on both Burnett and Sheets. Imagine them spending a total of $30 million per year on 2 guys that can easily be on the DL for a majority of the season. Why not bring back Pavano while we are at it...hahaha. 3434632 2008-11-24T15:38:31-05:00 58 NY DaReS(BX)DrAmA Bronx 614127 3 which im sure they'll pick up the option on Big BecK but i think they should go cc burnett sheets cc wang burnett sheets joba not in thats order but thats would be nice if healthy 3434310 2008-11-24T15:42:54-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/826/0/thumb/9.gif 12521 hyperRevue 8280 which im sure they'll pick up the option on Big BecK but i think they should go cc burnett sheets cc wang burnett sheets joba not in thats order but thats would be nice if healthy 6 And that's a HUGE &quot;if&quot; with Burnett and Sheets. 3434335 2008-11-24T15:42:23-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/826/0/thumb/9.gif 12521 hyperRevue 8280 5 The option kicks in automatically if he reaches certain milestones. I'm not sure what those are. 3434365 2008-11-24T15:40:42-05:00 1121 CA Yankee27 Castaic 188694 4 I like Sheets as well... but the max he will get anywhere is a 2 year deal. I say if we sign him though, let him have every 4th start off so that he can stay fresh for the playoffs. 3434299 2008-11-24T15:38:31-05:00 58 NY DaReS(BX)DrAmA Bronx 614127 3 which im sure they'll pick up the option on Big BecK but i think they should go cc burnett sheets cc wang burnett sheets joba not in thats order but thats would be nice if healthy 3434310 2008-11-24T15:23:37-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/826/0/thumb/9.gif 12521 hyperRevue 8280 2 Beckett has a club option for 2010. 3434019 11 <div class="photo_container image_right"> <div class="photo"><img src="http://img.fannation.com/upload/si_blog_post_images/cc-sabathia-getty2.jpg" alt="Cc-sabathia-getty2" /></div> <div class="photo_attributes" style="text-align:right;">CC Sabathia, Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images<br /></div> </div> <p>The Yankees have not yet set a deadline for their $140-million, six-year offer to free-agent starting pitcher <strong>CC Sabathia</strong>, and according to someone familiar with their thinking, they have no intention to pull the offer anytime soon.</p> <div>New Yankees boss <strong>Hal Steinbrenner</strong> was responding to a reporter's question when he said, "We made an offer. It's not going to be there forever.'' And all he meant was exactly that. Not forever.</div> <div><br /></div> <div>It appears now that the Yankees aren't about to set a deadline -- at least not yet.</div> <div>The Dodgers, Giants, Angels, Red Sox and incumbent Brewers all have interest in Sabathia. But to this point, no one has emerged to play in the Yankees' dollar stratosphere, and they remain the favorite to win the Sabathia Derby.</div> <div><br /></div> <div>Everyone in baseball is closely watching what's going on with the Yankees and Sabathia because several other star players could be impacted by where he goes.</div> <div><br /></div> <div>For instance, if&nbsp;Sabathia goes somewhere other than the Yankees, at that point the Yankees would more seriously consider making a major run at superstar first baseman <strong>Mark Teixeira</strong>, who's drawn interest from at least his own Angels plus the Nationals, Orioles, Red Sox, Giants and Mariners. Additionally, if they don't get Sabathia, the Yankees might have to intensify their efforts to sign <strong>Derek Lowe</strong> or possibly <strong>A.J. Burnett</strong> (at this moment, they seem more enthused about Lowe than Burnett).</div> http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY Jon Heyman New York 10084 26361
