Prince Fielder may become Big Apple of Yankees' eye if CC Sabathia decides to
sign elsewhere

The Yankees need an aging, slow-footed, full-time DH like they need higher
ticket prices. But it was pretty funny to hear David Ortiz wax poetic about
the team he killed for so many years because, well, honestly - did you ever
think you'd hear a player talk about the Bronx as a place to get away from
all the drama?
The late George Steinbrenner would be horrified. Indeed, if The Boss was
still running the Yankees, creating back-page drama at every turn, he'd
probably jump at the chance sign Ortiz as a way of sticking it to the Red Sox.
These days the Yankees don't think much in terms of theatrics.
They do love signing stars to help justify those absurd ticket prices,
though. Heck, if the big cheeses were willing to overrule Brian Cashman on
Rafael Soriano last winter just to show the ticket-buying public they were
spending money, then you never know what an offseason is going to bring.
In this case, it's possible that you-never-know could translate to Prince
Fielder, one of the three big-ticket free agents this winter, along with
Albert Pujols and Jose Reyes.
And wouldn't that be a Boss-like move?
For now it doesn't seem likely. Cashman seems focused on acquiring more
pitching. But let's face it, C.J. Wilson isn't wowing anybody this
postseason, and he is easily the most attractive pitcher on the free-agent
market.
Assuming there will be a handful of bidders for Wilson, is it worth signing a
soon-to-be 31-year-old pitcher to the type of long-term deal that teams so
often regret?
Or would the Yankees be better off paying huge money for Fielder, whose
lefthanded swing just might produce 50 home runs a year with the help of
Yankee Stadium, and using Jesus Montero to trade for pitching?
I know, I know, I advocated for keeping Montero in my look-ahead column a few
days ago, and I do think the Yankees should find out what he can do for them.
But the point is, you can't rule out the possibility that Fielder could wind
up a Yankee, slotting in between Robinson Cano and Alex Rodriguez as a
full-time DH.
It might take something extreme such as losing CC Sabathia to his opt-out
clause. And while that doesn't seem likely either, it's possible the Yankees,
fearing the effect of all his innings pitched, as well the effect of age on
his XXL body, will draw a hard line on extending Sabathia's deal much beyond
the remaining four years and $92 million.
In that case, would Sabathia leave if some other team made a crazy offer?
Would the Yankees allow it to happen?
Hey, everybody thought that signing Cliff Lee was a lock last year.
But even if Sabathia does re-sign, it's very possible the Yankees don't get
Wilson, for one reason or another. In that case, depending who might be
available in a trade, Cashman could feel compelled to deal Montero, the
22-year-old catcher whose value is on the rise again after his impressive
September.
Would that lead the Yankees to Fielder? The potential of the lineup would be
tantalizing and, who knows? Maybe Fielder would actually hit in October as
well as his father Cecil did with the Bombers in 1996.
On the other hand, Cashman probably wouldn't want to lock himself into still
another long-term deal. And though Fielder could play first base at times to
spell Mark Teixeira, the Yankees may fear the need to be more flexible with
the DH spot, especially with Rodriguez signed for another six years.
But it's surely an intriguing possibility, especially if Fielder has few
other potential landing spots at his asking price of $25 million a year.
I f Pujols re-signs with the Cardinals, which still seems like the best bet,
then you'd have to like Fielder's chances of landing with the Cubs, as new GM
Theo Epstein makes a big splash.
But Pujols will be asking for even more than Fielder, and if the Cardinals
won't meet his price, the Cubs may elect to sign him away from their biggest
rival. And then, considering the Red Sox, Phillies, and Tigers have star
first basemen, how many teams will decide they can afford Fielder?
The Yankees themselves don't seem headed for a dramatic winter, but things
have a way of changing with them. After all, even in this post-Boss era, star
power still sells in the Bronx. Just at higher prices.

為求團隊體重不變?

自由市場SOP第一步:洋基有興趣

CC不走 然後加簽小王子 洋基會變成全聯盟噸位最高的嗎?

簽小王子幹嘛 = =" 1B鐵爺打不差啊

洋基會拼命留下CC吧 不然輪值能看嗎 = =

XD 洋基今年補進投手的慾望更高吧 怎麼老報強打者..

經紀人:Cashman幫我抬個價 下次算你便宜一點

所以NY還是很自豪他們的先發投手群齁.....

要好價碼,第一步得先跟洋基沾上邊啊.

至少AJ在季後賽證明了他不差

簽他不如直接上普神

在簽下去 洋基的DH公仔群超精美的..

最迫切的不是先發輪值嗎 冏

上普神不如再買張Ace

簽了普神就可以拿Montero去換Ace 不然FA也沒有Ace可以簽

自己的Ace不要跑走就萬幸了

1B鐵爺都長約了，沒Ace能簽，簽個2號SP回來都比簽普神好

幾年後NYY的DH爆滿\⊙▽⊙/

現金人:質量守恆定律

想也知道不可能簽他,要簽他就直接簽噗猴子了

不是有鐵爺了嗎 還是NYY是看體型認選手......

老爹 小王子 下一個會是誰..

第一 這是DailyNews 它的品質以及公信度就和紐約質報差不多而無厘頭的幻想文也是他們的專長

抬價專用新聞

第二 "所以NY還是很自豪他們的先發投手群齁" 請問你有看到有誰這麼說嗎 媒體有嗎?球團有嗎?球迷有嗎?

戰神再臨!!!!!!!

推查理

那些推文說一壘有鐵爺的男到真的以為養雞要王子去守備嗎

不守一壘那要幹麻 洋基的DH一堆人排隊....

扯洋基 美作家滿分

小王子轉行SP?

不過倒是出乎意料的 一直沒有道奇的消息...@@

又有人被推文釣到了...?

去洋基幹嘛...

都還在打季後賽，扯這些幹嘛？作者是支持憤怒鳥的嗎？XDDDD

小王子跟普神差不多錢吧

年薪一定是普神高 兩個人生涯根本不是同一等級的打者應該說現役打擊沒有人跟普神同一級...

推查理...

胖王子可以上投手丘啊

洋基現在也是一群人輪打DH吧...

$$:有錢賺就好，簽來放板凳，周邊都賺錢

普神強一級吧........穩定多了

標準作業程序湊了嗎?

小王子不能跟普神相提並論 謝謝..

普神 27歲 WAR 57.8 小王子 19.9 樓下說說看差了幾級?

守備能力也有差

薩克跟夏亞專用薩克的差別

洋基：我想排12棒 4個DH!

樓上我笑了

看都逆了 進FA總是先拿NYY出來抬價 標準程序對NYY來說真的要Fielder不如加碼去拿Pujols

要Fielder、Pujols，不如加碼去搶購投手

今年除了自己隊的CC以外剩下值得砸錢的只有CJ要兩個都簽下來難度蠻高的 條子也不是沒預算

還有隔壁費城的推土機跟黑魔使 >.^

應該還有達比修有

芭樂消息?

黑魔使今年FA?

推土機今年投成這樣又33歲了不值得砸大錢吧

黑魔使今年還不是FA，有興趣的話得預備銀彈

簽他來幹麻~_~

要投手的話還不如等明年 黑魔使 Z魔神 Cain都FA

今年要不用換的要不賭樂透 沒什麼必要砸大錢

今年投手大物似乎只有CJ、達比修

" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">
2012 MLB Free Agents

他守備沒有遭到不能守一壘...

-.- 如果CC被簽走了 簽小王子幹麻? 頭痛醫腳嘛這

經紀人談約起手式:NYY有興趣

炒身價吧 用洋基來炒作效果最好吧

很難騙到人吧 誰會相信NYY對小王子有興趣說普神或許還能騙到人....

防守沒鐵爺好 打擊也沒贏鐵爺多少

還好啦 小王子只是在一壘創造15次失誤而已 XD

Z魔神想簽搞不好還簽不到，黑魔使感覺比較有看頭!

牽拖一下NYY價錢都比較好啦~~

黑魔使 Cain一定綁的吧 不綁棒鎚

小王子的身體 還能站1B多久??

牽拖NYY合約年數自動+1起跳、合約總值+20M起跳

胖子膝蓋很容易退化 看好他變老爹第二

搞不好是梅子(Mets)想簽小王子喔XDD

補一壘不如先補投手...
