Teixeira Reportedly Signs with Yankee$

[rok]

Good.

[Clapp]

So no Red Sox, no Orioles... I hope the Nats give him 200 million dollars. Fans can watch him hit solo homers on their tv network with the douchey camera angle for years!

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->The Angels, who signed outfielder Juan Rivera to a three-year, $12.75-million deal Friday, could also look to bolster their offense by pursuing a free-agent outfielder such as Bobby Abreu, Pat Burrell, Adam Dunn, or, possibly, Manny Ramirez.

Or, they could look to trade for a hitter such as Jermaine Dye, Paul Konerko, Garrett Atkins or Joey Votto, a 25-year-old first baseman who batted .297 with 24 homers and 84 RBIs for Cincinnati in 2008.

They will probably use some of the money budgeted for Teixeira to sign closer Brian Fuentes, who is seeking a three-year, $30-million deal and has said that the Angels are his first choice.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Link. Please trade for Votto.

Only one of the big free agent bats have signed, correct? Texiera needs to sign to get the ball moving on all these other hitters. It's going to be a busy January....February?

He agreed to a deal with the Yankees today. 8 years and more than $170.

The Yankees are buying themselves a pretty nice team.

At least one of these contracts is gonna blow up in a big way, the law of averages says so.


BTW, do they now have the top 4 highest paid players? Teixeira, Sabathia, Jeter, and ARod.

[Destined]

Any the pressure on Girardi increases...

Now that would be something. [sarcasm]But he's not left handed. And we don't want a good hitter if he's not left handed or a great defensive player. Gotta take that into account.[/sarcasm]

BTW, this should help to get things rolling . . . there's 172 FAs out there waiting for contracts (yes, I counted).
