There has never been a $16mm DH. If they make their decision based on past markets, then they will look at Vlad. 2010: Hit .300/.345/.496 with 29 HR, 115 RBI for Texas. 2011: Signed a contract with BAL for 1 year/$8mm. There are plenty of comparable DH's (Napoli, Vlad), and none of them have even sniffed $12mm, much less $16mm.

We have no idea what they're going to do. They could very well go off and trade a bunch of prospects for HanRam and Anibal Sanchez. I think Cherry has something up his sleeve, and it's going to blow some minds.

I agree with this. We could definitely use that RH bat as well. I'm not justifying that we kept Ortiz, but if we were definitely going to keep him, I don't necessarily disagree with this play after thinking about it.

Oswalt has averaged 206 IP over the past 8 seasons. He's a workhorse that was sidelined for the first time in a while last season, but came back as strong as he's ever been.

Wandy is a LHP that throws about 89 mph. Right handed hitters would put dents in the monster all game.
-
What?!?!?
-
No way they take Wandy over Oswalt. I think this is just them keeping tabs in a worst-case scenario where Oswalt and the Sox can't agree to terms.

After thinking about our options (Aviles, Punto, Iggy, or Pedroia move to SS), I really think installing elite defense up the middle would be the best for the team.
-
It was arthroscopic so it was the least possibly invasive. I honestly think he'll be fine. But who knows. Never know how its going to heal.
-
How is that a big if?? It's more likely than not now that we freed up $$$.
-
Well that's fine, because we don't need to hide Aviles's bat. So make Aviles the starting SS until Crawford comes back. Then you make Aviles and Sweeney a platoon in RF, and have Iglesias as the starting SS by mid April. I'm actually thinking Crawford will be back for Opening day, but that's just my opinion.
-
Bartlett really is not that good at all. I'd rather have Iggy there than Bartlett, not even close.
-
Probably. I'm still all in for having Iglesias play SS every day. Let him win a gold glove and just hide his bat in the line up.
-
Aviles was 4th in ROY. He's a solid player. And he's got a ton of versatility. Like I said earlier. I'd love to see us put Iggy at SS this year and just let him shine defensively and be a Varitek offensively. We can very easily hide his bat in this lineup. And having Iggy and Pedey up the middle would be a show.
-
The fact that you call Aviles a "black hole at SS" when he has a higher OPS+ over the past 2 seasons than Jeter makes me lose all faith on Yankees fans being logical.
-
Wow. That's laughable. Discounting 1,300 PA because he has had a career OPS+ higher than Jeter's over the past 2 years. And then you talk about a high BABIP?!?! Hahahaha. That's hilarious dude. JETER HAS A f***ING CAREER BABIP OF .355!!!!! THE HIGHEST AVILES HAS EVER HAD WAS .357!!!!!
