75 mil is a lot, but considerably less than the 180 needed for Tex

That is a ton, especially if he's only going to DH and play OF occasionally. If they do bring him in they gotta trade Matsui (f**k that, I love Matsui, can't trade him) or Nady (f**k that, I think he's perfect for the Yanks). I'd rather bring in Teixeira instead, we gotta think long-term.

I think we should try to trade Damon. Yes, he bats close or at .300 but he's a huge liabilty with his weak arm in the outfield. And I agree if we do sign Manny then we have to trade Matsui, because Matsui can't play defense anymore and he is our DH for the moment, unless of course we bring in Manny.

We have to start thinking about the future, and signing a bunch of guys in the mid to late 30's is not working. That's why I believe we should go after Tex, a young 27 or 28 yr old with power and good defense.

We can't trade Damon for a couple of reasons. Damon is a great locker room guy and with the departure of Jason Giambi, we need someone in the locker room that'll keep the guys together. Another reason would be because he helped bring in the guys like CC and Burnett. Damon is a solid lead-off hitter with pop and he's got some good speed. He makes up for his arm strength by making other great plays in the outfield. His arm isn't a problem. I think if anyone is traded it'll be Matsui if Manny is brought it.
Maybe the Yankees will just sign Tex and Manny. Why not sign Lowe too while you are at it? Come on.. whats another $280 million to a team that spent $245 million for 2 pitchers? I am pretty sure that would get you in the playoffs anyway. LOL

According to the ESPN message boards there are reports that Tex agreed to terms with the Redsux but some say it's bogus.

Obviously its bogus. It would be all over ESPN, Fox, CBS Sportsline, and every other sports site. It may happen - but it hasnt yet.

Who cares. The Yanks are getting Manny.


Jeter Thinks Manny Would Fit In Fine With Yanks


MLB.com - Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter believes that free agent slugger, and former AL East rival, Manny Ramirez would fit in fine with the team.

"I don't know him personally, with the exception of playing against him and on some All-Star teams," Jeter said. "I know he's had a lot of success everywhere he's gone, and it seems his teams have done been pretty good.

"Not too many people have problems fitting in, I don't think."

New York general manager Brian Cashman shot down a report from the Dominican Republic that the club would sign Ramirez to a three-year, $75 million contract this week.

"We've had some free personalities through the years," Jeter said. "David Wells was his own person, [Jason] Giambi was his own person, [and] Johnny [Damon is] his own person. There's a lot of different personalities that play on our team.

"It's just when you're out on the field, you're trying to accomplish one thing, and we welcome people with their own personalities."

Attend your teams games and maybe one day you'll be like the Yankees.

Tex>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Manny

I'd much rather have a great power and defensive 1B then one of the worst defenders and laziest players in the game. I highly doubt Manny will be motivated night in and night out for those 3 years. Besides we need to get rid of the old players and get bring it a lot more younger guys.

Unless the Yanks offer more than the Red Sox, I doubt we get him. It'd be nice, but we've yet to make an offer.

Honestly I think we need to get Tex to be able to surpass the Red Sox in the division. I'm not sold on Tampa quite yet and the Sox have some great hitters in that lineup to go along with solid pitching. We're getting the pitching taken care of pretty well but we still need a couple good position players before we can overtake them.
