I DO, but I don't. We have 2 excellent starters and for the $ it would take to sign Halladay, it would just be a little much. He throws a ton of innings like Sabathia, and one of these days, one of them (or even both) are gonna go through a big injury period. I also kinda get a tired of a bloated team salary. I love our desire to win Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777748549842099189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256268100133425608.post-45990445939361375702009-11-20T08:04:59.494-05:002009-11-20T08:04:59.494-05:00You can never have too much starting pitching.

St...No, the need isn't the same as it was then. Still, they do have holes, and behind Sabathia there isn't any starter who really strikes me as truly dependable. Burnett could get hurt, Pettite could get old, Joba and Hughes could be ineffective, etc. So I think it's perfectly likely that the Yankees could have legitimate interest in Halladay.

There was an urgency associated with that pursuit, which is why who might have been available during the next offseason was relevant. They had both the need and the dollars to spend. They might still have both of those but to a far lesser degree.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839022142066882411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256268100133425608.post-44567190797093136482009-11-19T17:04:30.881-05:002009-11-19T17:04:30.881-05:00"The Yanks had a chance to pay the double bar..."The Yanks had a chance to pay the double barreled cost of prospects plus a free agent-sized contract to acquire Johan Santana from the Twins (via a similar negotiating window) and passed. Do we really think that they want to do it now, after committing to Burnett and Sabathia with large and lengthy contracts? Our friends at River Ave. Blues don't. "<br /><br />Sigh.
