    The stache is probably gone, as expected.

    Meanwhile, Pettitte is trying to come back with the Yankees for another season.

    Looking forward to this looong offseason :bicycle:

    I think we'll resign Giambi at closer to market value. Like 7 million per.

    Don't want Pettitte back, if Moose is coming back.

    Giambi may come back, but i honestly wouldn't mind letting him go...unless he has more stache magic left in him :)

    Concerning Pettitte, i guess we'll have to see if we sign any pitchers and look at our rotation before the Yanks bring him back.

    Wang is looking good, from what I've been hearing. So has the Brackattack.

    CC
    Wang
    Joba
    Hughes
    Moose/Pettitte

    I still think we're getting another big pitcher. Our BP is going to kick ass again

    Don't count out Peavy. He stated that he would accept going to the Yanks if he can't go to his other preferred teams in the NL

    Yanks report that they'd consider Pettitte for another season for a pay cut of his 16M

    Pettitte is on something if he thinks he's worth 16. He's a below average to average starting pitcher. That's 7 million.

    No thanks to Peavy. I'm not willing to part ways with the amount of young talent they're going to demand for him. I'd much rather throw assloads of cash at CC or Sheets or Burnett...you know, people we can bring in without having to give up kids for.
