Offseason Outlook: New York Yankees
By Tim Dierkes [October 13 at 11:16am CST]
Next up in our Offseason Outlook series, the Yankees. Their likely
2009 commitments:
C - Jorge Posada - $13.1MM
C - Jose Molina - $2MM
1B -
2B - Robinson Cano - $6MM
SS - Derek Jeter - $20MM
3B - Alex Rodriguez - $32MM
IF - Wilson Betemit - $1.165MM+
IF - Cody Ransom - $400K
LF - Johnny Damon - $13MM
CF - Brett Gardner - $400K
RF - Xavier Nady - $3.35MM+
OF - Melky Cabrera - $462K
DH - Hideki Matsui - $13MM
SP - Chien-Ming Wang - $4MM+
SP - Joba Chamberlain - $400K
SP - Phil Hughes - $407K
SP - Ian Kennedy - $400K
SP - Alfredo Aceves - $400K
RP - Mariano Rivera - $15MM
RP - Damaso Marte - $6MM club option ($250K buyout)
RP - Brian Bruney - $725K+
RP - Jose Veras - $400K
RP - Edwar Ramirez - $400K
RP - Phil Coke - $400K
RP - Mark Melancon - $400K
Buyouts: Jason Giambi - $5MM,
Carl Pavano - $1.95MM
Other commitments: Andrew Brackman - $1.1375MM,
Juan Miranda - $400K
The Yankees are a bit over $140MM before arbitration raises to Betemit,
Nady, Wang, and Bruney. Maybe after those they're near $150MM for current
players (if Marte's option is exercised). Will the Yankees really slash
payroll all the way to the $180MM range? Brian Cashman would still be
able to add $30MM in '09 salaries, but it wouldn't surprise anyone if he
has more than that.
Jon Heyman says the Yankees want to sign two free agent starters out of
C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, and Derek Lowe. If they land their top target,
Sabathia, then Lowe seems more likely than Burnett. It'd be an '09 rotation
with Hughes, Kennedy, and others battling for one spot. If Mike Mussina or
Andy Pettitte can be re-signed, Joba can slot in fifth and get extra days
off. Depth would be excellent, but signing three starters, each for $12MM
or more, could eat up most of the spending money.
The two other much-discussed holes are first base and center field. Cashman
has spoken about wanting a regular first baseman as opposed to shuttling
in Posada, Damon, and Matsui. Possibly available regulars at first base:
Mark Teixeira, Prince Fielder, Adam LaRoche, Mike Jacobs, and Hank Blalock.
The list could expand in coming months. I do not see the Yanks trading
Hughes for Fielder, if some permutation of that deal is available.
If the Yankees somehow sign Sabathia, Teixeira, and another starter,
they'll be looking fantastic for 2009. It could be done if payroll is in
the $200-210MM range again. Sure, Cano should be better, Matsui and Posada
hopefully healthy. But Abreu could be replaced with Nady and Giambi seems
gone. Tex would add stability, though he has to be seen as a luxury.
The market for center fielders, whether via free agency or trade, is poor.
It makes sense to see if one of the internal options emerges as a tolerable
regular (Gardner, Cabrera, Austin Jackson). As alluded to earlier, Abreu
will probably be offered arbitration, decline, and sign elsewhere (leaving
Nady as the right fielder).
The pen doesn't seem like a major need; Marte on the equivalent of a
one-year, $5.75MM deal is reasonable. Joe at River Ave. Blues tells me
Melancon is likely to snag a spot.
Bottom line: it looks like most of the money will be spent on starting
pitching, but Teixeira would sure look nice in pinstripes.
