Question

to get yankees back in playoffs in 2009? and overtake the red sox and rays? we all know 2008 is lost cause!

Answer 1

f8ck u... ******.  

Answer 2

Get rid of:

Carl Pavono

Johnny Damon

Bobby Abreu

and maybe Hideki Matsui or Jason Giambi

Try to pick up:

C.C. Sabathia

Ryan Dempster

Ben Sheets (cant remeber if he sidned an extension)

and if you get desperate A.J. Burnett

Kyle Farnsworth

Eric Gagne

Brain Fuentes

Keep Pudge or go after Miguel Olivo

Mark Tiexiera

Pick up Nomar if all else fails

Adam Dunn to DH

Pat Burrell

Manny Ramirez, you have to go after him

Milton Bradley

Ken Griffey Jr. if you strike out with everyone

Trade to get a quality outfielder.

Keep Joba and Hughes and Cano

Answer 3

I'd get rid of Damon, Giambi, Abreu, Cabrera, Pavano, Hughes, Sexson and get prospects for them.  Cashman needs to rebuild the farm system and the team.  The Yankees have had a great run but face it, it's time to rebuild.  It's time for the Yankees to rethink their ways and get some young guns for the future.  The new stadium will probably be sold out all year just because it's new so the income will be there.  

Just suck it up for a couple of years Yankee fans and come back strong and young.

Answer 4

they need to get some high quality pitchers. try to go after cc and sheets.maybe some outfield help

Answer 5

Get a decent starter who can at least pitch like Sabathia or Santana.  

Answer 6

Wrong question.

Who will be the Yankees GM in 2009? is more to the point.

Yankees need some one who knows that buying older, more likely to break down "stars" is a sure way to nothingness.

And then acts accordingly.

Sign and develop younger "future" stars is the only way to go.
