The Yankees just won't stop

[Post Count Padder]

The Yankees have reportedly signed Kevin Cash to a minor league deal.

It's surprising that Cash, who was non-tendered 11 days ago, would be so quick to sign with a team that would prefer to have no use for him at all. He'd be the backup to Jose Molina if Jorge Posada isn't ready for Opening Day.

I think they are trying to sign every player in MLB.

After their spending spree over the past two weeks, it was obvious that Cash was the next thing on their list to acquire.

I think they got him because (a.) He was on the Red Sox or (b.) His last name.

Yankees Ensure 2003 Pennant by Signing Every Player in Baseball -

 

NEW YORK—With a week to go before pitchers and catchers report for spring training, the New York Yankees shored up their pitching, hitting, and defense Monday by signing every player in professional baseball.

 

"It's an honor to be part of this team," said catcher Benito Santiago, picked up from the San Francisco Giants as insurance in case catchers Jorge Posada, Ivan Rodriguez, and Mike Piazza all go down with injuries. "It's a surprise, certainly, but I'd be crazy to turn down the opportunity to play on what is, by default, the greatest team in baseball."

 

The mass signing, extravagant even by Yankees standards, caused the Bronx Bombers' payroll to skyrocket from a former league high of $149 million to $5.6 billion."

Ha...I mentioned this one in the Texiera thread...thanks for posting it.

I lived in New York and there's no joy in being a Yankees fan. Anything short of a championship is an embarrassment. If you win, everyone expected you to. I've been at games where Yankees got booed because they haven't hit a homer since the 3rd inning.

Echo the point about being a Yankees fan. The only saving grace they have is to say "26 world championships" anytime someone tries to give them grief.

 

What does the Yankees lineup look like now after the Texiera deal?

 

Damon

Jeter

Rodriguez

Texiera

Nady

Matsui

Posada

Cano

Cabrera

 

Good lineup - maybe great if Cano returns to form and Posada, Jeter and Damon return to their performance 3-5 years back - but not something that any Yankees fans should assume will guarantee them a spot in the playoffs.

[Vanilla Ice]

I would think Swisher will be in the lineup and Cabrera on the bench.

[RedFlash]

I would think Swisher will be in the lineup and Cabrera on the bench.

 

Well considering the Yanks still have Matsui/Cabrera/Nady/Damon in the OF, there is no guarantee Swisher will even be with the Yankees next year.
