I'm not to concerned about Jeter's performance this year, he was fantasic last season but now having a down year. People generally assume when veteran's don't preform they're washed up yet when younger players don't they're just going through a slump.

I think it would be just dandy if Yankees win it again, the core 4 only have a couple years left, its now or never for my favorite players I've been following since childhood.

If they aren't they should have an asterisk * next to there name for being part of the Steroid Era.

It would be a disgrace to baseball to let someone who's knowingly taken PED's into the HoF. He should never be let in, same goes for Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens, Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz and the rest of them.

I'm looking foward to Oct 26. Miami @ Boston

You think he's going to regret playing one month for a team that has no chance of making the playoffs?

CC allowed just 1 hit as Yanks swept A's

Jeter will retire a Yankee, even if it means he has to play different position than shortstop

I agree with you, the Rays strength of schedule for September is much weaker, it will be tough for the Yankees to win the division yet fairly easy for them to win the Wild Card

Flashback to 2003, when Boston tried to rid themselves of his massive contract, put him irrevocable waivers, making him available to any team willing to assume the remainder of his contract. However, all 29 other teams passed.

Even though some of the names on the list may seem farfetched, the predictions at the top have been very accurate, from 2002-2009 ether the first or second predicted pitcher in both the AL and NL have won the Cy Young, aside from last year when Tim Lincecum was the 4th predicted for the NL

As Dojji mentioned ERA is third in importance, look at ESPN CY Young Predictor and you'll see Sabathia is the favorite to win at this point. http://espn.go.com/mlb/features/cyyoung

I prefer Samuel Adams

Sorry to hear that, however I'll glady take your spot. Team name : Fat Chicks Lag IRL

I think David Price and CC Sabathia have a fair shot at it

If Manny doesn't go to the White Sox he could probably end up with the Texas Rangers or Tampa Bay Rays who had scouts in San Bernardino and Los Angeles when Ramirez played there last week

Yeah there going to need Pettitte and A Rod healthy in order to make it back to the World Series

Yankees didn't need Damon after they aquired Granderson, along with having Gardener who is like a mini-Crawford. Nick Johnson was supposed to fill Damon's spot as the #2 before he went down for the season. even if they claimed him now he would only clog up the DH spot. Leaving no room for Berkman, Thames (who absolutey kills LH pitching), Kearns, and not giving Posada, Jeter, A Rod days off.

who's to say he doesn't? He's close friends with CC from the years they were together in Cleveland, and I'm sure he knows being on the Yankees roster would give him the highest probability of winning the World Series. In terms of money he'll certainly get a fair contract.

Yankees passed on Dan Haren because they didn't want to pay the remaining 31 million on his contract, instead saving the money specifically for Lee. I also read a article earlier of how Sabathia almost certainly guarantees it. A story in today's New York Post quotes CC Sabathia after his 17th win yesterday, "I'm here," Sabathia said. "Hundred percent." Sabathia is referring to the clause in his contract to opt-out after next season. CC was not sure he or his family would like the hustle of New York, and being Californians, wanted the option to go back to the west coast. "I think you know I've built a house here, right?" CC said. "My kids go to school here. We live here year round. So I'm not going anywhere." That is great news for the Yankees, who have relied on Sabathia more this year then they even did last season. A remarkable feat indeed, considering CC won 19 games in the regular season last year, three more in the post season and was the stopper when the rotation became erratic.Deja vu all over again in 2010, right?What CC's declaration also tells me is that Cliff Lee is even more likely to sign with the Yankees next season after becoming a free agent. After being traded THREE times in less than a year, Lee wants to play with what is comfortable to him.And CC is comfort food for Cliff Lee.They are really good friends since their days with Cleveland, and CC is perhaps the biggest cheerleader for players to come to New York. And with Lee and Yankee rotation stalwart A.J. Burnett both hailing from Arkansas and sharing the same agent, Lee is almost guaranteed to become part of the 2011 Yankee rotation.

So when Johnny Damon told Jason Beck of MLB.com that he is not going back to the Red Sox you're suggesting he was lying? Also implying Damon is mad at the Yankees is incorrect, he said he had no hard feelings when the Yankees didn't re-sign him, he's said several positive things about them since then though I can't find any direct quotes at the moment, and even tipped his helmet at Yankees stadium last week

Thats correct, Damon has decided to stay in Detriot, he didn't like the way his last contract negotiation's went in Boston and disliked like being boo'd in Fenway

If Damon ends up with the Red Sox and Manny goes to the White Sox they'll be facing each other next week.

You friend seems to know what he's talking about, I agree with just about everything he listed. I strongly believe the two of us should've been in the finals instead of competing for 3rd place.
