SeanO Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Like I said they will lower payroll by about 5-10 mill. Just an opinion! But still have enough for Pedro/or young premium starter & tek & bullpen arm! Gammons meant that they will not over pay for their aging talent. I may be remembering this wrong, but over the summer I thought Gammons said on WEEI that the Sox could not continue to run profitably at the current financial pace. They made a concentrated run at the trophy this year, but things would have to change, based on how much money they had to pay for the team. 78858[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Another Moron Influenced by medi Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 of course the Yankees will be back They have the biggest unfair advantage in all pro sports. they will continue to outbid for top free agents, keeping other, less financially fortunate teams from fairly adding top FA players to their roster, while the Yankees continually maintain a roster that almost always guarentees them a playoff spot. I was a Yankees fan back inthe 70's, but never again. Glad Boston won this one, but since the Boston area has already won its share of Championships I won't be rooting for them in the Series. 78857[/snapback] Used to a be a Yankees fan?

There isn't many pitchers out there, but I think Pedro will be a Yankee and he might beg David Wells to come back...if not...then how about Odalis Perez or Al Leiter?

I thought sure his ass was gone after 2001... 2002... and certainly last year. He must have pictures of the Boss in compromising positions or something.

He's not the one that went 0-8 last night (ARod - Sheff) He put together a good team but the pitching let us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the recent past their jobs were safe, if only not to let them go to the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gantrules Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 how is Mike Lowell going to replace Jason Giambi??? Mike Lowell is the second best THIRD baseman in the game. I doubt you are going to see him move to first OR DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millbank Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 No doubt that the Yankee's will go out and find pitching for coming season, for Sox this was their year the parts were and are in place. next season they have 16 free agents who will be able to sign elsewhere "16" , yes many changes will be coming. It certainly has been now two very special post seasons in baseball as exciting as any since the playoff format started in 1969. Changes are ahead, in the East divsion Baltimore, Jays and Tampa Bay are all closing the gap between Yankees and Red Sox, the three lower team with very excellent young players signed to good contracts, it is not going to be as easy for Sox and Yankees to dominate we were all very fortunate to see these two rivals compete.
