A major one being that soccer is truly a world-wide sport with outrageous marketing and revenue flow. You'd have to do a lot more research on that one. 4117568 2009-01-25T09:18:03-05:00 3 NY mofunky77 Nanuet 632451 50 Maybe the Yankees should just start buying up all the small clubs. The Royals, Pirates and others. Why stop at buying players when you can buy whole teams.

Which includes management AND the fans. A guy has to produce immediately or things start getting nasty quick. Their method, of course, is just go out and buy players. Their faith is in their money.

If any of the bottom half of the rotation flounder he can be put in. Sheets has the mental make up to be a good reliever. 78 Not likely possible. With a fragile shoulder and several other issues, converting to relief could do more harm than good. That and it would take far too long for him to warm up safely before entering a game, making his presence in the bullpen detrimental.

The Yankees are believed to be offering less guaranteed money than the $10 million that was on the table for months for Pettitte but still may prefer to bring him back.</p> <p>While the Rangers have met twice with Sheets, the Yankees are one of a few teams considering the talented righthander. Sheets has provided a second medical report for teams to review but it isn't known how it differs from the first. His market has been slow despite a career full of accomplishments. At least one of the teams looking at Sheets appears to be hoping to keep it to a one-year deal.</p> <p>The pitching market is rough right now, as the only remaining free agent starter known to have received an offer of at least three years is <strong>Oliver Perez</strong>, who received an offer of at least that length from the Mets. Free agents <strong>Randy Wolf</strong> and <strong>Jon Garland</strong> are believed to be getting one-year offers in the range of $5-to-7 million, with the Dodgers and Diamondbacks among the pursuers. <em>The Bergen Record</em> first mentioned renewed talks between Pettitte and the Yankees, who already added <strong>CC Sabathia</strong> and <strong>A.J. Burnett</strong> to their rotation.</p> http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY Jon Heyman New York 10084 43861
