Granted, they could just sign harper for cash. But it would be much more cash!<br /><br />And it's not a knock on Stanton. He is really good. But I think he's better suited for LAD, the NL, and he'd be a top 3 player on any team.

I have been telling you guys fo...Burch Burch Burch. I have been telling you guys for years now that as long as the Coupon Clipper is running the show and signing checks that his wallet is more important than the team winning the WS. Trust me he talks a good game, but as I was taught at an early age, actions speak louder than words and he shows nothing for it. The elf is now forced to ravage the farm system which has now gone from #2 to #16 with his latest trades. The point being is the Sux aren't afraid to spend because their farm is depleted and we shouldn't be afraid to spend but won't. There was no reason to bring Girlie Boy Gardner back or CC for that matter and I agree with you, Harper is the one supposed to be wearing Pinstripes. I would have also liked to see Daniel Murphy sign on because his ability to slash to all fields and he is not HR dominate which is the reason this team can't advance in the playoffs. We didn't need Stanton last year and his constant tinkering with his swing causes for lapses in muscle memory of repeating the swing. I'm sure if you posted a poll asking if we would rather have Harper of Stanton that Harper would win convincinly. Coupon Clipper knew last year he wasn't going to spend over $350 Million to get Harper so he took the cheaper way out which was to get Stanton at a lower cost. This team is built on dollars and cents and not the best players we should have. I for one don't believe this team currently constructed right now are better than the Sux and I believe Dombrowksi has something up his sleeve and he always bests the elf.

I pointed out that Derek Jeter at ss was better fielding at age 40 than andujar at 3rd as a 23 y/o. So I'm not expecting improvement. Which is fine. But then get a better first baseman to catch the shitty throws, because neither voit or bird will get it done.

Which is difficult to swallow.<br /><br />Ive said harper is the guy, and it's not hard to find a way to get him into the lineup. And Bryan, isn't hicks a FA after this season too? So that's 3 guys... <br /><br />Unfortunately, Machado "fits" easily, and won't be as big of a pay check. He's sexyy on the field, now than harper <br /><br />But we should all be prepared, because these guys very well might not sign either... My guess is 75% chance our "big" addition is ja happ. Aim for klubot, Bauer, Thor, harper, Machado, land happ.<br /><br />I really don't think this team can win. It needs too many people to produce, and judge is the only one I have faith in. Do yall agree? <br /><br />I'm gunna work on a piece with ideas to improve the team without adding harper or Machado, bc that's more likely.

Heck, I could probably live with Jose Iglesias or Adeiny Hechavarria in order to get Harper.<br /><br />I bet the Yankees cut bait with Ellsbury once those insurance payments stop rolling in...
