It's one year. It's a no brainer to sign him. Pitching is at a premium. He's worth the one year risk. We are still paying for Rent a Wreck. We can pay Schilling one more year.
Out of 20 responses, an overwhelming 65% made class or work and all but one of them were on time. I know most of you partied hard, but still fulfilled your obligations the next day. You are, as I suspected, solid citizens.
I was listening to WEEI when this was discussed. There is no basis to this rumor other than the WEEI guys throwing it out in an interview with brainless Ken Rosenthal as a possible package that could net Santana.
San Francisco is the most obvious fit in my opinion. They have parted ways with their one and only star-- Barry Bad Boy Bonds. They need a star to put fannies in the seats. It's the perfect low pressure situation for ARod. If that town could embrace that scumbag Bonds, they should love Boy Scout ARod.
My long shot is that the Mets sign him after they trade Reyes for Johan Santana.
If Torre takes the Dodger job for less money than the Yankees offered, his family should have a court appoint a gurdian to take control of his finances. Also, Torre, a kid from Brooklyn is going to end his career voluntarily with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Shame on him.

Here's my post last night before the bottom of the 9th.

I was very worried that we had blown out all the bullpen arms in going for the kill and they wouldn't be available for game 5 and maybe innefective for games 6 and 7. That's what happened to the 2004 Yankees. Torre burned his pen and continued to burn them in game 5. he had nowhere to turn in games 6 and 7. We have Beckett. The yanks had no one like that, but Beckett would probably have had to go 8.
If you look at him objectively (that's tough for yankee fans when it comes to Jeter), he has lost a step. His range is already very limited. In 2 years, that step will not come back. He's more likely to lose another half step or whole step.
