I think good sign beltran not signed yet and hopefully he works out something with yanks. As for pitching I have a novel idea. The first 3 will be cc, kuroda and nova. Why can't the other 2 come from top prospects like pineda who we traded our stud prospect at the time montero for and Betances who should be healed from tommy john and has been raved about by yankee brass forever. Like the saying goes even the blind cashman is right on occasion (pineda and betances). We also have phelps who is young and didnt pitch badly last year for us. If none work out you can still get the same retreads we're talking about now which types are always available. Right now I am happy we didn't go 10 yr for 31 year old even if its cano which means outside someone like trout reaching free agency at 25 the 10 yr yankee contracts are kaput. Thank god. I am more optimistic than some of you. I say lets get infante and reynolds as insurance who can also play a little and go from there. As for power we still have tex, mccain, soriano for starters and ellsbury I think can get 15 to 20 at yankee stadium no problem. Same with kelly johnson all these guys hr numbers increase in yankee stadium. As for cano, his hr numbers with the ballpark, average as he will be pitched around and rbi's (hard to get many when nobody on base) will take a pretty good dive in my estimation which he will give less a shit about than usual cause he got paid. Oh wait, they just posted the opening day mariner lineup...... cano, cano, cano, cano, cano, cano, cano, cano, cano ..... well you get the picture.
