why would it be a shocker for the yankees to get texeira? he fits into one of the 2 positions they need 1b. and pitcher.

Thats mighty nice of them.

I wouldn't mind a platoon of Giambi and Millar

He's no Ryan Howard.

Like Cyder says all the time, Ransom can play first base. Get the kids their chops.

Every GM knows before you sign any player today
1.Check to see how many homes the player has .
2.Check to see if he making timely payments ...

look for leverage and learn FROM what is happening to movie stars and music entertainers...
(The way perhaps many icons of sport see themselves ...is there really a difference)

Teixeira, Pedroia, & Youk in one infield. Killer.

No more platoons.
no more guys that play positions they can't
with a 200 mil payroll.....
why can't we get EVERYDAY players that are in their NATURAL spots?

C'mon...anyone who thinks the Yankees won't pony up the big bucks for Tex is outta their minds...It'll be between the Angels and Yankees. Unfortunately, I see him wearing the pinstripes.

Nah-
Youk is a really good player and CLUTCH
Tex is obviously top notch....but he tends to be more
Arod-like at times......I'd rather stick with Youk

ESPECIALLY for the $$$ they'd have to pay
Not a major upgrade

Saying the Yankees won't get in on the bidding for Teixiera is like saying that McCain is gonna beat the crap out of Obama Tuesday. It's possible, but only for those with a crackpipe to their lips.

200 mil for 10 yrs that stupid contract...

Can you imagine what Mays, Arron or Mantle would get in todays market

he worth about...... $12-15 mil per........ over 6-8 yrs

they r better off using that $ 4 burnett, k-rod, n cc. wat they should do is put nady there n trade 4 mcclouth (like getting rid of rasner, ponson, igawa, betemit....whoever is still on the team that is practically expendable).
n btw 4get manny. bring back abreu, n have damon in lf, abreu in rf, n mcclouth in cf which means that gardner n cabrera will b up their butts making it a competetive of
