...part of my disgust with the way the current roster is constructed is that because of poor contracts handed out in the past are now ham-stringing the Yanx. The ONLY reason they did not pursue the type of impact FAs they might have is because in most cases there was no place to put them because of so many current roster spots tied up by Tex, ARod, CC, Beltran, and to a degree, Headley and Ellsbury whose contracts will also look bad going forward.
...and Cashman's claim that "the plan" was to get younger and more athletic is in a way, a red herring....I mean, realistically, by default, the team had to get younger no matter what moves were made because they were so damned old to begin with...after Mo and Jeter retired the team was still left encumbered with other aging vets who were locked in to ill-advised contracts. (ARod, Tex, CC, and Beltran)...so again, just about any new player acquisition would result in the team's average age dropping.
...and will the "experts" please just stop with "the Yanx are just laying low so they can land Bryce Harper 3 years from now " BS ?
1. they act as if the Yanx would be the only team with a chance to sign him
2. they think the Yanx are putting the team's current plans on hold for a player they may or may not sign 3 years from now?
...this kind of twisted logic is dumb founding to me.

a damn good album, a tasty treat, but hell for figuring things out, with half a wit, or is that a twit...???
this much blows my mind, and I thought Tex was playing with a full deck:
If it were up to Teixeira, he'd go with option No. 1.
"I think I have a lot of good years left in me especially after last year," he said. "I’d love to play five more years; I’d love to play until I’m 40. My body feels so good, why not play until I’m 40? Being the kind of hitter I am, I can be a DH the last few years of my career, which could really prolong it. I would love to play that long.”
