Carl Crawford

Carl Crawford, It seems that Carl Crawford is no longer an option for the Yankees, now that Boston is her signature. I am a little surprised to see how much money the Red Sox are willing to give Crawford this is a very good player, but he is seven years and 142 million? I do not know.

The Sox were charged with Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez (BTW, love that “we’ll pretend he did not sign a contract extension until opening day, so we can save on tax luxury.”Only Boston could get away with this system!) Now, that means the Yankees will have to pay more even for Cliff Lee, and even then I’m not sure they will.

One side – I went to the site of the Boston Globe this morning to read news and Crawford saw a big article about how Tom Brady is doing ads Uggs. Yeah, I’m sure, will men buy these shoes a lot!

But I digress. Anyway, I wrote at the end of the season that I do not think the Yankees Cliff Lee was a sure thing. When all is said and done, could I see Lee’s stint with the Rangers? Absolutely. Nolan Ryan Lee asked the officer to tell him what it would take for him to stay in Texas. If they match the Yankees’ offer, Lee will still end up with more money, thanks to Texas cost of living and lack of income tax to the state.

Gee, I’m glad the Yankees front office has had to spend last month dispute with the new signing Derek Jeter, instead of devoting more time to do things, you know, actually improve the team. Thank you, man, to be all about the stripes!

Paul Konerko

Paul Konerko, Paul Konerko, first baseman for the Chicago Whitesox, will compete for first base. The powerful programming Whitesox just got more pop, with the signing of Adam Dunn (four years and $ 56 million) who also plays first base. However, Chicago general manager Kenny Williams said he hopes to bring Konerko back and have his bat in the lineup right even Dunn.
They would probably substitute the first designated hitter. “Not only is there room for it, this would be ideal from our point of view,” Williams said. “We can not get too far ahead of ourselves.” Paul Konerko was offered salary arbitration on November 23. He is looking for a big increase in its $ 12 million he earned in 2009. Last year, he posted a .312 batting average, hit 39 homers and has produced 111 runs.
