1. Avoid running at all times.-S. Paige Posted: April 02, 2013 at 03:12 PM (#4402184)The Yanks have more money to play with than either team (bigger market) and they have a lot less young talent on the way up (especially position-player-wise) than either team. It sure seems like they should re-sign Cano and pay him a lot.
Goldman was good at first ... but then he went too far!
Maybe we should wait until he's actually signed before pillorying his contract?
Even if they sign Cano, they still face the question. The answer is trading for guys under contract with other teams (e.g. next year's J Upton, Crawford, A Gonzalez etc) and/or sign non-American guys (Darvish, Cespedes). The newish trend of stars not reaching free agency after their initial 6 years will not negate the ability to use money to acquire talent.

wow.
Alfonso Soriano will be available.
The Yanks have pretty well achieved their goal for 2014 given where the current payroll is. They've got $70-80 M to spend this offseason without going over the cap next year.
By the way, the Cards reportedly offered Pujols 10/$200. They were happy to sign on to his decline phase, they just weren't willing to go as high as the Angels.
How will the Yankees win the $$/WAR championship with a good player on a market value contract??!?!??!?
That is the real point. The Yankees shouldn't be worried about his decline phase, they should be worried about whether it's worth the cost that it takes to keep him. Teams should always do the math on what they are willing to spend and stick to it, without allowing the pr cost of losing the player to change their plans.
And what did Harold say in response?
As loud as he could muster he screamed, "PAY THE MAN!!!! JUST PAY HIM!!!!"
It would cover ages 31-38. From 31-38, Carew had 31 WAR, one third of it in his age 31 season. Morgan 41, Kent 34, Whitaker 32, Biggio 30, Grich 24, Lopes/Sandberg/Randolph 23, White 21, Alomar 20, Polanco/Velarde/Grudz/Boone 18. I'll throw in Molitor 35, Brett 29, Will Clark 17, Billy Williams 26 as reasonably similar hitters (off the top of my head).
From 27-29, he's behind Utley, Morgan and Carew but way ahead of the rest of those guys (e.g. Biggio at 15). I'm going with 35 WAR as the healthy projection which makes $252 a little over $7/WAR. Looks much too high to me when the risk of injury and defensive decline are added.
The Yankees are going to look ugly this year in most likihood (then again, they've always pulled out miraculous in season out of no where players to save them, so who knows.) But after this they should be ok again.
I'd have no issue with this. Let the Jackie Bradley Jr. CF era begin!
When do you think they would call Austin up? To start the year?
I would figure if there's any spot on the field that the Yankees can reasonably fill with a prospect that won't be a huge drop off it's Austin in the corner (or somebody, ANYBODY behind the plate.)
But the Yankees farm have been highly inconsistent these last couple years. a lot of players randomly have good / bad years. though Austin looks like the closet thing to a legit starter in the bigs with the least question marks
