now the question is do they go after a First Basemen (which I would like) and use Giambi soley has a DH. I'm not sure who is available. If not them the entire infield returns and the DH spot is open (bernie is not an viable option here IMO)

[/ QUOTE ]

i think konerko's available

Seeing these names almost brings a tear to my eye. Why do great players have to get old (or addicted to coke)? Man, that was a magical time.

Care to make a friendly wager about where Mazzone is at next year?

my biggest concern, as it has been for the past couple of years, is middle relief. Do Aaron Small and C. Wang go to the pen next year with a rotation of Johnson, Moose, Pavano, & Wright, +1?

Yankees offseason:

See which free agents are demanding most money.

Decide between them.

Watch Boston make 'cute' moves to catch up with us.

put Giambi at DH and just find a 1B that has good defense.

Defense at first base isn't that important.

Then battle all of 2006 to see who is superior, as another team goes off to win the World Series again. Goot Strat.
