This week the Yankees big brass met in Tampa for the first time since winning the big prize.
Unlike last year the Yanks hit the meetings with not all the need they had last year. Lets take a look at a few.
The Yankees have $45 million coming off the payroll. Do they try to re sign the big free agents? Andy Pettitte is a no brainier. If he wants to come back bring him back and don't low ball him on money. If he retires I say thanks and he went out a winner just like
Mike Mussina did last year.
With Matsui and Damon I would bring them both back on a smaller contract. If I had to
choice just one Johnny Damon.
As far as spending the big bucks for Roy Halladay I say no. You would have to give
up to much and he would command a big contract. If Pettitte does retire I would go after Lackey who would fit in good in the Bronx.
Maybe the Bombers go after Chatman, the Cuban Left handier. Who Knows maybe the team stays put and does not open the check book. All of baseball hates the Yanks because they spend money on players and try to win.
With the bad economy they just might hold their cards. We will see.
