Believe me, Cliff Lee has not peaked. He averages 212 IP a year. Lets say in the worst case scenario that he does start to deteriorate, he can still probably give you 175 solid innings. Hes one of the most dominant forces out there and if he does indeed stay in the NL long term…scary.

“The list above is made up of players who in the Yankees minds go: got it, got it, will get it, will get it and don’t need it – and not in any particular order. GO YANKEES!! WORLD CHAMPIONS!!”
I blame your mother for being your mother.
You are beyond retarded.
BTW – Your post is why a salary cap is needed. God Bless football!!!!!!

Judy, Len (and the author of this piece) prove that intelligence has gone down GREATLY in this country.
Even Yankee fans I know talk about next year’s free agent class as being great. Only Craig, that authored this above post, has suggested otherwise.
BTW – Yankee fans sure are proud of going 9 years and 2 billion U.S. dollars between championships. Only Cashman could screw up that badly.

Carl Crawford is past his prime? http://www.fangraphs.com/graphs/1201_OF_season_mini_8_20091006.png They'll also be able to spend a billion dollars to get Mauer, if he's available.

Does $55 million buy you a Roy Halladay extension, a Matt Holliday signing, and a Joe Mauer signing the next year? That’d work just fine, I think…

Maybe they’re clearing cap money for LeBron?

It would really be something if Rivera went to Boston – what would Pappelbon do then? All kidding aside, they can’t wait until the following year. They need to use a patch kit this offseason. Just think they got a share of the Playoff Pot – for finishing second and staying home. The list above is made up of players who in the Yankees minds go: got it, got it, will get it, will get it and don’t need it – and not in any particular order. GO YANKEES!! WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

Thanks for dis-assembling any great moves the Sox have in mind for the next couple of years.
On the “salary cap” post, anything John Henry proposes will probably help the Universe more than the Nation.
