Wha?

Starphuchin at its finest.

Tejada is a nasty hitter and fielder. Tori just won a gold glove. Santana might be the best pitcher in baseball.

Should the yanks reload with these guys?

If melky goes to the twins in a trade for santana then tori hunter would be a nice alternative for melky at center......then again that's what they yanks hoped johnny damon would do at similiar ages.

Tejada seems like a pipe dream.....but his bat along with hunter makes the yanks seem better.....on paper. They can play small ball. The vets would be in place for another run.....

Make any sense to anybody?

Don't give up our young pitchers for position players. Otherwise, I'm fine with these guys. Starphucking per se isn't bad. Stars who are hungry for wins, have good locker room personalities, and play their butts off are *great* to have on your team. Starphucking for the kind of guys the Knicks brought in is another story. I do think Tejada is a little overrated but he's still a good player and we're desperate at 3rd base.

Where did you get these rumors from?

The tejada rumor was in fridays daily news and today I read in the post stuff about santana and tori hunter.

Its a pretty easy plan if you ask me.

They say baltimore might take farnsworth and some outfielding prospects for tejada. That's pretty easy to deal with.

Santana would have to include more than that though....like one of the big three pitchers.....

Santana is a no brainer, but I wouldn't sell the farm for him since I believe he will still want to test the market when he becomes a free agent after next year. If they do trade for him, they better lock him up.

Tejada is a nice replacement and I think would be a good pickup since they can probably get him at a reasonable cost since the Orioles want to get rid of him and the $32M they still owe him.

Hunter would be a big addition defensively and he's better offensively than Cabrera. I worry about the miles he's put on his legs in the Metrodome. I think he breaks down a lot sooner because of that. He's 32 now and I can see 3 good years before the injuries start happening. They can move him to a corner OF spot but you're paying the premium because of his defense. I don't think it'll be a Giambi situation but I wouldn't go past 5 years with maybe a club option for a 6th.

Starphuckin yes, but with starting pitching like that and lots of money coming off their payroll within the next year or two, they can afford to spend it. As long as it makes sense. And I think those guys make sense.

It's a better use of money than the $242 mil they offered A-Rod!

i fear torii is on the fast track to damon-ville. no thanks.

tejada is an a-hole...and wouldn't be shocked if he was linked to the roid stuff. no thanks.

santana is awesome...but the price will be VERY high.

Damon already had whispers that he was hurt or hurting before the yanks signed him.....not sure if tori hunter is in the same type of situation. He's an awesome outfielder, fresh off a golden glove. He has power and speed on the bases.....but he's 32.....not the same as basketball but 32 is 32....maybe 3-4 years left in the tank.

Yanks lack speed though. What else can the yanks do to improve the ball club? Abreu seems to be the only lock in right field. Melky plays a good center field.....hideki/damon in left seems a little retarded but its still nice depth.

Shelly duncan plays a decent outfield as well.

Damn man, andy phillips is another guy that can play the game but just keeps getting caught with freak injuries.....

What to do man? What to do!?!?

Phillips' decent BA is really deceptive because he doesn't draw walks or hit for power (low on base and slugging percentages). The guy should NOT be an every day player. He's a great backup though.

Baseball is more fun in the off-season as a yankee fan....dude we are so spoiled its not even funny.

Tejada can be had for a song and dance... O's want to dump is salary. That moves makes some sense.

Yankees' young pitchers not available, even for Cabrera

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Hank Steinbrenner was clear on what the New York Yankees won't do to get Miguel Cabrera.

"It's pretty obvious which players we're not going to trade," the owner's son said Wednesday, before rattling off the team's most-prized young pitchers. "Chamberlain, Hughes and even Kennedy. Not for a position player."
