- Marco Scutaro
- Mike Cameron
- John Lackey
- Marco Scutaro is a career .260 hitter. Sure he had a good OBP year but he will turn 35 next year and I don't think he is exactly coming into his own. This will go down as another log-jam regretful SS signing by the Sox haunted by losing Hanley Ramirez to the Marlins.
- Mike Cameron is a career .250 hitter who will be 37 years old next year, and is a career .220 hitter at Fenway Park. Not making headlines with this signing.
- John Lackey is 2 - 5 in his career in Fenway park with an ERA of 5.75 and a whip of 1.66. We'll see how this shakes out. Not a bad singing by any means, but he isn't Sandy Koufax people!
Yes its true the Yankees have made a couple of moves this offseason (trading for Curtis Granderson, signing Nick Johnson for a year, bringing Pettitte back) but the truth of the matter is they are waiting for 2011 as they did wait for 2009 to get CC, AJ Burnett, and Teixeira. The 2011 free agent class is far superior to this years, and that is when the Yankees will strike again. Look for them to resign Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, and then go after guys like Carl Crawford, Cliff Lee, and Josh Beckett.
We'll find out in about 12 months if I am right on this, but my guess is they let Damon walk, so Crawford can stroll right into left for 2011. Thanks for comin' out!
