Finally Andy signs with the Yankees

We all knew it was a matter of time. He always seems to be a late bloomer when it comes to Free Agent signing. To think that he was dangling other interests out there for the same money he got from the Yankees is ludicrous. No one takes less money to sign with the Yankees. But Petitte will be a perfect fit for a rotation that might need innings, they say you can't predict injuries but after last year you got to figure that one of these big four, Burnett, Sabathia, Wang and Petitte will go down with something serious. My bet, is easy money and I predict it now the your next American Idle, A.J. Burnett.

Call me crazy.

Am I the only one thinking though they have to figure out what is going on in the outfield. And why in the hell do they keep dangling Xavier Nady? He is relatively cheap and is going to be a great hitter depending on where Posada finds himself in the line-up. He hits for average, plays great D and takes walks, we need this guy.

But a Damon/Swisher/Cabrera/Matsui Platoon in center and left scares me. None of them are a good fit together and there is nothing redeeming from any of them, with the exception that Matsui and Damon, who are great DHs. 

But we are going into the season strong, now if they would just open up ticket packages I could plan my summer.
