Finally someone talking sense. Brain,Young Boss and Others are you reading and listening. We need
position players even if we have to pay more in the draft. We can't waste draft picks like we did in the third round last year for a third basemen who projects as average. We need to track down the best of Soth America,Austraila,Korea,Japan and the world and go get them.
We should have 3 good relief canditates coming back from injury and atleast 4 more top starter's after 2008. Now we need to add to our young position player's Jackson,Gardnier,etc.

That's sort of right but not entirely the proper course for the Yankees. Their one great advantage over every other team is that they have more money then any other team (and the will to spend it). So they should spend as much money as possible in the draft -- especially as that might make elite talents only want to be drafted by the Yankees. However, there's only one "Johan Santana" at the moment so why wouldn't you go and sign him? If Hughes, Kennedy or whoever else you trade for him turn out to be great, who cares? You just go and resign them when they become free agents. Instead of having just minor league affiliates, the Yankees could use the rest of the majors as their "minor" leagues. Of course, this would probably ruin baseball, so it's a good thing that Cashman isn't smart enough to figure this out.

Man, I didn't realize Johan's were so easy to find!!! It sounds like we should have three or four of him on the staff according to this take..

Amen to that. Yankees need to take advantage of all that cash on hand. By the way Check out Rotomania.com for fantasy sports news...

This is sense! Cashman is printing this out and showing it to Hank. They can have him next year without giving up depth.

The speculation about Santana and what he can do is laughable. Shouldn't the Astros be the most upset. He was Rule Fiver out of their system.

I think the Yanks can wait. With Joe G. there, it's now a bit different. They need to use their own resources.

I agree - the NYY need to sign more old guys to huge contracts

As I recall the MFYs international strategy has included guys named Irabu and Contreras who didn't exactly shine in pinstripes. That's no diss to Matsui & Wang, both of whom were smart moves --believe me when I say I'd love to see Godzilla in an SF Giants uniform next season... But how many overpriced retreads has Cashman the "Brain" pounded through the Bronx in recent years only to see Joe Torre run out of town on a rail? I'm not sure Kim Hank-Il understands much international scouting either given his propensity for handing out pension plans to aging former all-stars.
