Sabathia, Burnett, and Wong sounds like a good start to me City.

best closer in the game? I guess it's all a matter of opinion. I think he's getting to the end of the road. I also think C.C.'s going to be a .500 pitcher. We'll see come the regular season.

He saved 39/40 opportunities. He had a 1.40 ERA. He gave up 41 hits in 70 innings and had 77 K's and 6 BB's. Yeah he's hangin on by a thread. :roll:

Man, I really hope so - In fact, I'm sure a majority of baseball fans in general want those fuckers to ALL fall flat on their faces - I can't possibly hate that organization more. I hate them, I hate the fact that they think that they can buy a championship (and that they have in the past)- I HATE that damned evil empire - FUCK the Yankmees!!! Oh, and Merry Christmas...

They still won't win the World Series. I hate when people complain about them spending money. Teams like the Angels are pocketing their money and not spending. Same with the White Sox, the Cubs have gone cheap this season, and the Dodgers. Dodgers are in a top 3 market and they're going to let Manny and Lowe leave without signing shit.

I, on the other hand, love that they saw their rival in a position to acquire a top free agent and took him instead. Even if they have to shop him later in the contract and eat some salary, isn't it worth the extra millions per year to make a move that significantly improves their chances of winning?

It seems the people who bitch most about the yankees spending are the same ones that swear to Zod that "you dont win championships that way"

If thats true than shouldnt you want the bombers to continue with this losing plan?

we'll see. Guys who rely on a cut fastball tend to just disappear one season out of nowhere. It's just my tea leaves and I could be completely wrong.

Rivera has had basically one pitch for his entire career.

Angels sign Fuentes to a 2yr deal with an option for a 3rd. Hard to believe the Brewers wouldn't have guaranteed the 3rd year.

http://mlb.mlb.com/news/press_releases/ ... Id=rss_ana

It's 2yr $17.5 mil with a $9mil vesting option based on games finished. Wow. I can't belive they got him this cheap. Great signing by the Angels.

Glad to see Fuentes not going to Brewers or Cardinals.

With all of this rush for free agents, what's up with Joe Crede?

I read the Giants are looking at him. Boras is trying to get a Magglio-type deal for him where the team can opt out after the first year if he's injured and vests for X-amount of years if he stays healthy. That probably won't fly in this free agent enivornment so he'll probably have to settle for a 1 yr deal and try again next offseason.

Jason Giambi is going back to Oakland, signing a one-year deal with the A's. Also, could Trevor Hoffman be closing a little further north with the Padres' division rivals in Los Angeles?

Hoffman signed a yr deal with an option with the Brewers. I thought they'd get Fuentes but Hoffman is still a definite upgrade over the crap they ran out in the 9th last season.

Ok for all the Yankee haters out there...This is what I find worse. When a team can buy up 9 starting pitchers or pitchers that are hurt and wont be ready til july.

The Red Sox always have 2-3 Starting Pitchers on hold going into a season.

Im not blaming them...its a smart strategy. It just seems theyre always overlooked when bitching about Competitive Balance or a lack thereof

Trevor Hoffman to the Brewers. Oh NO!\
Well closing out games was a big problem for the Brewers last couple years. So this ought to be a big plus for them.

The Brewers gave a lot of $$$$ to Eric Gagne last year, and needless to say, he wasn't nearly as dominating as he was in Los Angeles...I'm not so sure the Trevor Hoffman signing works out either. :(

What is the Brewers current starting rotation? Are they linked to any names on the market outside of Hoffman? I've heard Mulder, who says he is healthy, but that's not something they should be counting on.

BD, with C.C. Sabathia set to earn a fortune with the Yankees, and with Ben Sheets dealing with constant injuries and likely wearing a different uniform, I wish I knew who's starting for Milwaukee...You got me on that one. :?

I know Gallardo is there, and Suppan is probably still there...Throw in Dave Bush (I think that's his name), and they have a very bad rotation.

How quickly I forgot! :oops: Jeff Suppan helped the St. Louis Cardinals win the 2006 World Series before the division rival Milwaukee Brewers broke the bank to sign the veteran righty as a free agent...Money well spent? Probably not...

They also have Manny Parra. I think they will sign a free agent starter like Looper, Redding or possibly Garland. I read they haven't shut the door on Ben Sheets but I don't see that happening. They could also trade for a young starter and move Bush to the bullpen. Melvin has a good farm system and a lot of picks in the upcoming draft so I see him making a few more moves this off season.

There doesn't appear to be much progress between the Dodgers, agent Scott Bora$, and Manny Ramirez, according to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal. One name the Bums are said to be interested if the Ramirez talks continue to drag is Diamondbacks' slugger Adam Dunn, who is 7 1/2 years younger than Manny, and would be a cheaper alternative. Something to chew on...

According to the Baltimore Sun, Nick Markakis and the Orioles have agreed to terms on a six-year, $66 million contract extension that's expected to be finalized once he takes a physical exam later this week.

Smartest thing McFail has done. This guy's a monster and combined with Adam Jones and Matt Wieters the O's have the nucleus for a very powerful offense. If their pitchers continue to develop watch out for the O's in '11.
