Small market teams should actually thank the Yankees. Signing Tex means Manny has no where to go and might have to take a lesser deal somewhere else. Thatmeans Dunn, Burell and Bradley might come cheap to many teams.

The Yankees didn't do this... Tom Hicks blew the top off it when he offered A-Rod 10 years and a quarter billion dollars...
I think it's ridiculous that Mark Teixeira is getting paid this much money, but I don't fault the Yankees for doing everything they can to get the mosttalented players available... They aren't breaking any rules... They're putting together the most talented roster they can by any means necessary...Whether they win with it or not is to be determined...
And I think it's worth mentioning, but Mark Teixeira was one of the most outspoken guys in the Rangers clubhouse about how happy he was that Alex Rodriguezhad been traded... If I remember correctly, he went as far as calling A-Rod a prima donna and saying he felt with Alex out of the clubhouse, the team couldrelax a lot more and be in a better position to win more ball games...

The earliest many Yankees prospects can be ready for the big leagues is 2009 and 2010...more likely 2010

Didnt say that what so ever. If you had been keeping up with the other post everyone is saying he is getting overpaid. Except for Jrain thinkinghe was goin to the nationals for 200 million. If he signed with us ida said the same thing, but woulda been happy just like you guys are because in baseballif youve got the money you can spend it with no penalty. Yankee fans just take it easy

919 OPS would put Tex at 5th best in the AL last year (aka 919 avg OPS = GOOD)

ZERO
and people saying NY-ers will be calling for his head.... please.... have you not seen our team lately??
The Yankees should be fine even if he just starts off doing "alright" (he AVERAGES 36 HR like 115 RBI)
1. Damon- LF
2. Jeter- SS
3. A-Rod- 3B
4. Tex- 1B
5. Matsui- DH
6. Nady- RF
7. Posada- C
8. Cano- 2B
9. Melky-CF
LETS GO!
There is no point in getting hung up on the contract and all that. We paid what we had to get him.
Definitely makes our defense better. I can't say it's going to make us win, becuase it seems like none of these FA we have signed make us win.
I think Hank is proving he just wants to try to get the best players at every position he can.

I knew it! I had a feeling he did.... that's why he waited so long!
He was just waiting for Cashman to make a deal, knew it.

Seriously. There's only one thing that Boras and Teix favored and that's money. The Yankees were the only team willing to pony up thatmuch cash and that's why he went to NY.

I believe it's definitely true..... why would he have waited this long to sign????
And if you believe the Red Sox pulled their offer or stopped talking to Boras & didn't want him............ I got a Brooklyn Bridge to sell you
That's for damn sure...

I never said I thought the Red Sox pulled their offer... But whatever that offer was, they had reached their limit and told Boras it was take it or leave it...I don't doubt for one second they stopped negotiating with Boras after they visited Teixiera in Texas for that couple of days... It wouldn't be thefirst time they have attempted to call Boras' bluff on the "We've got a mystery team offering X years at Y dollar amount" bull crap...
He waited this long to sign because he was trying to squeeze every dollar he possibly could out of the Yankees or Red Sox... He knew damn well the Yankees werefeeling out the market and would jump in at the last minute with a huge offer if they felt the Red Sox were getting close to a decision... Even as early asthis morning, everything reported said he was close to a decision, and the Yankees hadn't even made a firm offer... I guarantee you what it came down tois, the Red Sox didn't offer the $184 million everybody thought they had, and Teixeira started the "Oh, I prefer the Yankees, but the Red Sox have thehighest offer" crap to spin off more money...
You seriously believe he preferred the Yankees the whole time and it just happened to be the Red Sox that Teixeira was having the most heated negotiationswith?
