If Melky can produce at the plate a little more, he's great in CF.
You can't be mad at that

The Yankees lineup was terrible last season, besides Teix who is a solid player (not 180M worthy, he is a guy who quietly gets his numbers) allthey added was Swisher. Nady is a good utility guy, Matsui is always hurt, Posada/Jeter are getting up there in age, Damon is a solid lead off hitter but hewas hurt last season too, Cano's work ethic is in severe question, A-Rod tries too hard in big spots and doesn't swing at strikes. The Yankees HAD toget another middle of the lineup guy because the only one they had was A-Rod, but damn I said it before..any team who signs this guy for that much is going tobe disappointed because with that salary comes EXTREMELY high expectations, and Teix won't provide that (plus he is already 29). He is a very disciplinedhitter though who ONLY swings at strikes, never chases.
Boston has a better pitching staff and a solid lineup, they are still a better team (so are the Rays) than the Yanks solely on theirexperience/leadership/chemistry. A healthy Beckett/Lester/Dice K is better than what the Yanks have to offer.
The only HORRIBLE signing the Yanks made was to Burnett, getting CC and Teix is good but they over-paid for a guy who didn't want to be here, and a solid30-100 player.

Look, Obviously I'm salty at the Yanks as a met fan but it is just a joke when they do this. It is comical, they just get everyone available, spending 10xmore cash than everyone else. I hatre these super teams such as the Cowboys and Yanks, and I cringe thinking about the upcoming ESPN suckage. My summer isgoing to be filled with Ed Werder making up stories about the *@#+@#% Yankees, just great. And the thing is they probably still won't win since theplayoffs are just about who gets hot.

It really isn't.
Maybe Manny will be cheap now. Do it Omar.
How do you figure???
Here is a nice article from Fangraphs discussing Teixeira's potential signing and comparing it to Todd Helton's contract. They value Tex in the range that the teams seem to be bidding ($18 - 23m /yr), with a question mark over the length. There's a good point in the comments regarding length, though, pointing out that while his expected extra wins will decline over time, if you assume increasing revenues and salary inflation, this isn't such a problem. There's also another commenter who is skeptical about salary inflation. Note that, since 2001, its averaged about 6% a year. Of course, there's evidence of a correction this year, too.

I mean, if dudes agree to a contract with the Yankees, what's the problem? The point is putting the best team possible on the field, so every team does thebest they can to sign players. The thing is, the Yankees have more money than anyone else. Dudes hate on the Yankees, but I'm glad I have an owner willingto take the $8 I spend on Miler Lite and give me the best team they possibly can.

Wonder how the Angels feel giving Juan Rivera a 3 year deal. Is that what's stopping them from refusing to sign Manny?

Thats why if we get all of the Team Yankee guys together for a game, there will be NO drinking in the stadium.
