It's a complete joke, to think oh well the yanks loose another draft pick.... The Yankee's stopped worrying about the draft after they signed Brien Taylor. Any Yankee that has been home grown has been luck over the last 20 years... Also for those of you who think that this Yankee debt ceiling really matters, let me remind you they just picked up 1.5 billion with the sale of 49% of the yes network. Their television contract alone earns them this year alone 90 Million...Sorry but Cano cards have took a steep drop in the last hour. I can't believe he left for money as people will forget about him half way through the season. Cano was a big name because of the Yankess.
The Red Sox just won the World Series... and all I am hearing is McCann is a terrible signing, Ellsbury is a terrible sign for the Yanks... Yanks are never going to stay under the luxury tax....Yanks lose another Draft pick... Wouldn't you want McCann hitting 6th or 7th for your team? Ellsbury when on the saux, was one of the best lead off and center fielders on the planet, now he is a Yankee, he sux..Luxury tax is 50% over 189 Million, so again who really cares, it costs $30.00 bucks to park there.. they can afford it.. Yanks will get a draft pick back when Granderson signs with the Mets.
For the first time in about 8 years, the Yanks now have chips to trade for talent instead of constantly buying it. Gardner, Wells, Nunez, and Mason Williams (a decent prospect), who knows I see Kemp playing right at some point next year.
As for pitching, CC, Nova, Pin-Head, Phelps, Warren, Nuno, Betances and hopefully the emergence of Manny Banuelos works for me on the pitching front... That's still with the possibility of Kuroda and Tanaka..
I like the direction the Yanks are going.... Cano signing is next please... my super collection will be worth dirt if he signs with any other team....
Potential Line-Up for 2014
Bury
Jeter
Tex

Arod
