He doesn't have the big name of an A Rod or someone like that, so I dunno why you pay him like that. Regardless, good for him. Hope the mets continue to suck. Go Phillies!

He has had only one good year anyways....... _________________ Radditz: "My secret? Well let's just say that every serious fighter starts their day with Cheerios."

Yes, he is a dominant pitcher, but there is so much uncertainty: The league change, his age and so on. But that's the Yankees, they always aim for the short-term improvement. I think the Pavano and Wright deals were much better than the Johnson one... They gave up in Vasquez to quick

He is good for 24-30HR 100RBI 150+hits a .270-.300 average 30-40SB He is dam good. He had just as good of a year in 2003, and we wont even get into the postseason.

And was dominant in Interleague Play and the World Series a couple of years ago. League changes for pitchers usually involve adjustments in umpires and the DH. He has seen this before with the Mariners.

But he will help for the 1-2 years he plays _________________ Radditz: "My secret? Well let's just say that every serious fighter starts their day with Cheerios."

They had a shot at keeping Javier Vasquez. Of course he is not as good as Randy Johnson, but he's not as bad as many say. With the money saved they could have gotten after Beltran. A rotation with Pavano, Wright, Mussina, Vasquez and Brown wouldn't have been that bad, would it?

That would make them good, at on paper and in the eyes of advertising exec and their $$$... They still can't compete with the Yankees though... Besides NYC is The Yankee town... :wink: :wink: :wink: _________________
