Do you want Manny at $25 mil, plus Niese and Redding in the rotation, and no Murphy (where would he play?), or Lowe and Perez/Wolf in the rotation and Murphy/Tatis in LF (with F-Mart due within a year)? I'd have more fun if the Yankees sign Manny, so I can read about him and Girardi going at it!

Once people realize all of these things, they will become knowledgable about baseball and not just post things we already know i was referring to a lot of posters not just nostradamus..I do feel there comments are idiotic and not justified in any sense..its like they dont realize its a business, one player will not win a championship, pitching is all we need, and most importantly were not going to spend $400 million like the yankees whether they like it or not.

You may not like it and think that we should but it's not going to happen. So if you are Omar you have to decide on one of those 2 routes. You are not even going to get Perez and Manny. It's junk for SP and upgrade the offense or nothing for offense and upgrade the rotation or average upgrades for both. This is not a video game.

We for sure have done more. However we were close to winning with what we had last year but you guys are forgeting we do not currently have what we did last year. We have a better pen but only 3 starters and one of those is coming off injury. I would not say the other teams have done nothing. We for sure have done more.
