Bernie Williams Debacle
Brian Cashman messed this one up. Bernie hit .281 last season with decent power numbers and is a historic Yankee and instead of honoring him with the final spot of the roster he signed Dougie Minkowitz. Now Bernie is either going to be relegated to play for some scrub team or retire, all in all not a very quality deal for #51. I'm annoyed by it, mostly because Andy Philips and Minkowitz are terrible hitters, but once the season starts it will fly right over my head.
Give Mo the Money
If Mariano Rivera says he wants money, then give him the friggin money. Tell him 3 years 15 per then you can fade off into the sunset. Prior to the season would be the smart idea, but for some reason the Yanks don't do contract extensions prior to the season. How about an exception for the most important player on your roster for the past 10 years? I don't think that would have that major of an effect on future situations where players have extensions. In the long run I see the Yanks giving Rivera whatever he wants, but why wait?
