What did the Yankees do this offseason?

[Bote McBoteface]

I've been busy all offseason and really only payed attention to the Cub's moves. I'm used to hearing the Yanks sign every available FA regardless of if he fits their needs, but I didn't see much about them. Did they improve at all?

They got Kei Igawa and they got rid of Randy Johnson and Gary Sheffield...

 

2007 Yankees = WS CHAMPS!!!!!

they also get andy pettite and doug melealkmvklvalkveaicz.

As of right now, no Bernie Williams on the Yanks.

And they signed Josh Phelps to compete with Andy Phillips. I smell a hot postion battle there.

Is Phillip Hughes going to begin and start the season for the Yanks this year?

no, unless there are several injuries out of camp.

Several? I wouldn't say several. And most likely Pavano will get dealt. So far the Yanks hitters have said Hughes is amazing.

They traded Sheffield and RJ for a bunch of right handed pitching prospects, which could mean they're positioning themselves for a deal at the deadline, considering their system lacks much depth.

Yeah, probably not "several". But, all indications are that Hughes will begin the season in AAA.

 

With Wang, Pettitte, Pavano, Mussina and Igawa now, and potentially someone else in the mix before ST is over (Phily and LAD both have too many starters), Hughes is not in the plans right away. An injury could change that.
