If the Yanks sign Sabathia, Teixiera, Burnett and Ramirez, it would add
approximately $88 million to the $140 million they have committed to their
returning players. That $228 million wouldn't include Mike Mussina and Andy
Pettitte returning. If both do, that would add $30-35 million, bringing the
total payroll over $250 million.
So, should the Yanks commit that much money to bring in all those players?
Absolutely not. First, there's no guarantee that this would work. More
importantly, especially about adding both of those free agent pitchers, the
Yanks would be potentially adding about 12 years in contracts and perhaps
$200 million for two pitchers, one of which has had consistent injury
problems. So this plan just doesn't make sense.
Do the Yanks have to spend money? Yes. So should they spend money
indiscriminately? No.
Brian Cashman is calculated -- sometimes to a fault, as we can look back and
see on the Johan deal -- but it's mostly been beneficial. Without Cashman's
calculated decision-making, the Yanks wouldn't have the financial flexibility
for this -- and subsequent -- offseasons. Cashman has put the team in a
position to spend freely again.
But that doesn't mean that he should go around spending money where it
doesn't make sense. Yes, the Yanks could use an outfielder, but Manny? He's a
pure hitter, but what about the cameras around New York? Because face it, New
York's just bigger than Boston. What about when he dogs it and hears the
boos? Boston may have thought it funny for some time, but Yanks fans will
have no patience.
What Lupica doesn't seem to know is that the plan to "fix" the Yankees -- the
89-win Yankees -- is already in place. It involves a little bit of spending
-- Burnett or Sabathia, but not really both -- and the switch-hitting
Teixeira would be a wonderful luxury -- but the plan also involves patience
and the farm system.
So, Mike Cameron as a stopgap is the latest rumor? Despite the tendency of
fans -- this includes my brother yesterday, who indicated that there's "no
room" for Cameron -- to dismiss Cameron as a "Mets reject", there are much,
much worse ideas. The Yanks would get much-improved defense in center at a
low cost, and a guy with a surprisingly good 110 OPS+. People were a little
too quick to look at his age and batting average, but a closer look at the
numbers shows that he'd fill out the outfield nicely while the Yanks wait for
Austin Jackson. Cameron has hit 20+ homers in the NL for three consecutive
seasons and can still steal around 20 bases.
The counterargument, as Dave brought up yesterday, is that a full season of
Brett Gardner might give you comparable numbers, but certainly not in the
power categories.
