    Severino, tanaka, grey and montgomery in rotation. Think CC will be odd man out as the 5th spot should be filled from amongst otani(if they sign him), chase or longshot sheffield if they think he's ready and kills it in the spring

    ...unless the Yanx can make a bigger splash for a front end starter during the off season, I can see them bringing back CC on a one year deal.

    Tanaka, like that old country lyric unloved, unwanted, so he decides to stay. Biggie earned a one year deal if offered but for some reason I think he''ll end up in Oakland close to his Vallejo home.

    Tanaka made a wise business decision. I also think CC comes back on a reasonable one year deal. He has made $250 million in his career so he's good in that regard.

    Damned do I hope one of our Young Guns explodes in ST, another Doc-K would be nice, (w/out the cocaine), but for the right NY Team...

    I agree. I think CC had better chance coming back with Girardi. I think we go young with that 5th spot and in this order: Omani, Adams or try to convert green to starter like they did with seve this year. Sheffield and Abreu on the near horizon.
