    Cashman and the organization chose the following

    Hafner 2,000,000
    Overbay 875,000
    Youkilis 12,000,000
    Wells, 24,000,000 * Angels paying most
    Suzuki 6,500,000

    Total 45,275,000 * MINUS Angel Contribution which is large I know

    As compared to

    Swisher 1B 14,000,000
    AJ C 7,500,000
    Reynolds 3B 6,000,000
    Hunter OF 13,000,000

    Total 40,500,000

    But look at the production difference plus I would rather have Swisher at 4 than Suzuki for 2. Could have still added Overbay without making a difference.

    You could have stopped at cashman. However i am glad they let swish walk. He is no 14mill player.

    Overbay has been one of the Yankees most productive players this year so I have no problem with him. Besides the money was right. also though I probably wouldn't have given him the 2nd year I'm also okay with Ichiro.

    The best thing they did was not sign Swisher to a four year deal. They finally let some other team pay somebody off and not get value for their money.

    The Yankees were in on Hunter, but at age 37 and with Granderson here and everyone wanting Ichiro back and Gardner returning it made little sense, but they sure could use him now, can't kill NY for that though.

    Everyone else is a pass, even now.
