Cashman said the Yankees are not signing Soriano because they are not willing to give up a draft pick for him.

Soriano chatter? all those who sweat Hudson / hate-on Jackson have another thread.................

I have a different take ... EJaxx had an awesome run with us last year and we now have him + Dunn this year. I would also say that there is a little post breakup hype over Hudson on the board, think Jackson just as good of a pitcher. Additionally, we can trade him mid-year when all other teams are looking for arms if Peavy returns to form ...

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jan 1, 2011 -> 08:23 PM) im fine with getting rid of him if we don't make the playoffs, but if we don't make it it won't be his fault. sorry, what's the point of an expensive manager again?

I'm sorry, but 15+ pages about that sh*t a** spoiled little brat Oney, who would be working in a Chavez labor camp if his father didn't play MLB? Enough already. Bobby, thanks for the memories, your 'bull whip' close in game one of WS05 will go down in history. Be glad that you earned last year's contract and that you have a chance to play for a serious contender on another rich 2yr contract. Hope you straighten out your personal life and don't blow all the cash you've earned... Good luck to you in the future. Now can we all move-on and talk about the '11 Sox march to the World Series or Harold's possible last time on the HOF ballot?

Here's another twist ... With the A's dropping out of the Beltre sweepstakes, the Angels are the likely frontrunner there. Additionally, rumors are that they plan to move Torii back to CF, leaving a problem for them in RF. So how bout a multi-team trade: CQ to Anaheim for Howie Kendrick, move Bacon back to 3B, trade EJaxx+ to the Yankees for Granderson (or possibly Gardner for less). Teahen is the utility guy off the bench, 3B, 1B, OF, DH, etc. Lineup: Pierre LF Granderson RF Konerko 1B Dunn DH Rios CF Missile SS Kendrick 2B Beckham 3B AJP C

http://mlb-facts-and-rumors.blogs.cbssport...297882/26696163 Regardless of how good they think Ivan Nova and Sergio Mitre are, I say they need a dependable SP with some experience under his belt. Hughes is not going to repeat that season and AJB is a cross between Barry Zito and Ian Baker-Finch Everyone on this site thinks I'm crazy, but I still think there is a reasonable trade here involving Granderson and a prospect arm, Pierre/CQ and EJaxx, or something along those lines.

With the Crain signing, think it's all the more likely we are dumping Edwin to the Yankees. Bring on Brett.....

Yankees have tons of prospects, 1.5 quality starters and some OF love to go around. Kenny, make the call.... We'll take Granderson too....

This is SO awesome ... Most because I think AJ helps the pitching staff more than anyone gives him enough credit for. Made my day!

He is worth that much (meaning the 5-7mm extra per year) in terms of media, fan appeal, and the intangibles to that franchise. Besides, he is a gold glover afterall ;-)

Very interesting that no one is discussing potentially dumping EJaxx and/or Buehrle on the Yankees .... they have no problem with the payroll, are desperate for pitching of any kind, especially in the case of Jackson, someone under the age of 35. Additionally, they have both prospects and other talent that could be moved. Given Posada is old, doubt they move Montero (who we should be all over if there is any shot they would trade him)
