Re: The Yankees Rotation in 2007!! I will gurantee you don't have Zito/Schmidt. Not one, definitely not both. And I will also gurantee that Hughes won't be in the rotation.

Re: The Yankees Rotation in 2007!! Geez. They get Zito, Schmidt, and Soriano, they could make a run at 162-0
Re: The Yankees Rotation in 2007!! 1 - they arent getting soriano - we love cano at 2nd, and we are overloaded in the OF2 - Hughes will not be up, at THE EARLIEST september, probably 08 spring training3 - we probably will get a #3 starter and find a way outta Johnsons deal, with Moose #1 and Wang #2. Lidle can be #4 and Wright #5Our 25 man roster will be somethin along the lines of:C: Posada1B: Giambi2B: Cano3B: ARodSS: JeterOFAmonOF: AbreuOF: MatsuiDH: Bernie (if bernie retires, move Mats here and Cabrera in to LF)SP: MussinaSP: WangSP: WrightSP: JohnsonRP: FarnsworthRP: ProctorRP: RiveraRP: Mike MyersRP: VilloneRP: TJ Beam (young hardthrowing righty, may replace Villone)Bn: CabreraBn: Miguel CairoBn: Sal FasanoBn: Nick GreenBn: FA OF or UTIL INFi may have forgotten someone but thats probably it. Hughes and Tabata probably wont be up until 08.

All I said was the rotation won't look like that at all.
Re: The Yankees Rotation in 2007!! I read an article about how the Yankees are actually losing money due to the luxury tax. Last year they had to pay 77 million in luxury tax, added to their salary, their total spendings are over 280 million.So I seriously doubt that the Yankees will get Zito or Schmidt. And its way too early for Hughes. The Yankees will obviously still have the best lineup in baseball, but it'll be interesting to see how the pitching holds up. Wang has been an anchor, without Wang, there is no way that the Yankees are in 1st place in the East.
Re: The Yankees Rotation in 2007!! No. They payed 40% for every dollar over the limit in 2005 and 2006 which was like 130M (the limit). Plus, b/c they're in NY, they have all the media revenue which they have to share. And the CBA is up this winter, so we'll see what happens w/ that. But MLB needs a salary cap, or at least make the penalty dollar-for-dollar

But they could have just been guesstimating the way they said it.
Re: The Yankees Rotation in 2007!! Yes, the Yankees are losing money, but they lost money last year and it didn't stop them from adding Damon and Abreu.As for as the rotation, aren't Mussina and Wright free agents after the season? If so, then the Yankees will definately have to do something to add on to the rotation. I could definately see Schmidt going to the Yankees, and maybe re-sign Mussina to a 2-3 year deal as he is like 37. Randy Johnson should just retire...lolZito is unlikely because he already seemingly has his name all-but-signed on a New York Mets contract to reunite with the pitching coach who made him a Cy Young winner in Rick Peterson.

We will sign SOMEONE in Free Agency. It would be nice to get one of these two to be our stud pony.
