Swisher is a huge upgrade. He can play both corners, all OF, and is cheap. I hate to see Marquez go, but so what?
The Yanks have freed up about 70 million so they are a threat on the free agent market. Texeira, Sabathia, etc. CC might get his roman numeral name if he decides that sunny California isnt all that.
As for the Yanks farm, it is pretty good. Of course you can brag about TB or KC. They get the #1-5 pick every year. How is TB going to deal with picking late? LOL.
The "expert" LeBron James says C.C. is going to be a Yankee, but C.C.'s "friends" supposedly say that he doesn't want to play in New York. Ahhhh, rumors!
Well, they sure won't throw huge bonuses at the Boras clients and other draftees demanding ridiculous bonuses, like the Spankees and several other high rollers have been doing over the last little while. I don't begrudge any proven professional athlete for squeezing every last dime they can out of the owners during their brief careers, but I've got no time for the guys whose agents get them to hold out or demand MLB contracts upon signing. These guys haven't even played a rookie league game yet for crying out loud. I say the slot money is fair, now go earn the rest of your megabucks whippersnappers. Fix the Draft Bud! So endeth the curmudgeonly rant. ;)Quote:
