Re: Report: Yankees acquire Johnson in three-team blockbuster
If the Yankees played in the same market as all other teams did, this would be a horrible deal for them.
Im not even sure Baseball America should bother acknowleging their farm, why not just split Milwaukee or LA in half and rank one half at the botton.

Re: Report: Yankees acquire Johnson in three-team blockbuster
I'm disgusted. I like javy, and those 2 prospects. Im so sick of them, I really understand how everyone hates the yanks.
Go Brewers! edit: I'm really a huge lifelong yanks fan. But this still sucks.

Or do you just want some perpetually rebuilding team that always has "great prospects". If so, than yeah root for the Brewers I guess.

Re: Report: Yankees acquire Johnson in three-team blockbuster
I don't disagree but I think Johnson gives The Yankees the best chance to win this year, which is what they are built for. I like Vasquez but if getting Johnson finally puts them back on top than it is an easy price to pay. I also estatic that they apparently were able to make the deal and keep Gordon.

Re: Report: Yankees acquire Johnson in three-team blockbuster
Vazquez is going from the AL East to the NL West with a very good Dodger defense and a reputable pitcher's park.
Also, he is going to work with Jim Colborn rather than that hack Mel Stottlemeyer (honestly, name one pitcher who has considerably improved under his watch. Even Clemens seemed rather average at times in New York) He will end up suprising some...

Re: Report: Yankees acquire Johnson in three-team blockbuster
Dynasty summed it up nicely. But also Navarro would have been a nice replacement for Jorge in a few years. I like my teams because I like my team and it's players. It would be nice to have a few homegrowns on the team (which is what the core has been all these years) instead of a team of Jeter and 10 35 yr olds making 15M a year on loan. I'd rather the yankees build up and make another run, then win this year, and have the same damn problems next year.
And as a fan of baseball it really is gross that the Yanks payroll will exceed 200M this year. Also being a Jets and Knicks fan I have a problem with management that does all it can to win.

The Rotation
Assuming all deals are finalized The Yankee starting rotation looks pretty good
1.R. Johnson 2.M. Mussina 3.K.Brown 4.C.Pavano 5.J.Wright I'm disgruntled that Lieber won't be around after but it looks strong enough to me if (IF) everyone stays healthy

By that I just mean that he'll go 17-11 or something like that with a 3.4 ERA. 'Off' compared to the mind-blowing numbers of NL... I think people forget how insanely good some of the hitting is in the AL East... Although Schilling made the switch and did great, and Johnson was over here before. So we'll see. NT
