The Yankees' best players this year have been Cano and Jeter, both homegrown.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742159228200876688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780276584364604867.post-12197651390122223192010-08-14T07:43:07.408-04:002010-08-14T07:43:07.408-04:00I have to agree with Pete, Joe.

He and the Sox are only slightly less miserly than most other teams in contention.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548707517391398364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780276584364604867.post-32451136080141931682010-08-13T15:59:42.503-04:002010-08-13T15:59:42.503-04:00You wish Joe.

If it turns into a bidding war between the yanks and the sox, Boston will bitch out first.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881643554796423918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780276584364604867.post-3652241969568665572010-08-13T10:31:14.738-04:002010-08-13T10:31:14.738-04:00I believe and correct me if I am wrong, but they w...I believe and correct me if I am wrong, but they were hedging the Salty deal with Delgado to make sure they had an extra 1st baseman. The reality is the trade market sucked this year. I think Theo is saving his cabbage for Cliff Lee.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07243315072384918852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780276584364604867.post-61917287646833858662010-08-12T22:37:05.894-04:002010-08-12T22:37:05.894-04:00Yea that's the Sox "big" pick up. Th...Yea that's the Sox "big" pick up. Theo is punting this season. If they get back in it they get back in it, but he wasn't going to trade young players for a rental to try and make a push. Of course Cashman proved you don't need to give up talent if you are willing to take on money which the sox could do but for some reason refuse to.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881643554796423918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780276584364604867.post-75478813426665521792010-08-11T23:32:03.634-04:002010-08-11T23:32:03.634-04:00I think it means no risk, and a possible big rewar...I think it means no risk, and a possible big reward. They are not going to take on some huge, long term contract to replace injured guys for a month.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742159228200876688noreply@blogger.com
