Why wait? I am weary of uninspired play, mediocre coaching and INJURIES Coaches who should be gone: TC, PF and whomever is responsible for off season conditioning and one of the worst injury records in the NFL. I’ll pass on KG. Not sure about him. Veterans that should be gone: Ross, Diehl, Ware, Beckum, Pascoe, McKenzie, Jacobs Veterans who are on the bubble: Mannngham (where is his head at?), Osi ( same), Tuck (can this guy play at a high level any more?) Younger guys who have had a chance but…. not sure: Phillips, Barden Young guys who need more playing time: Scott, Herz, Williams, Petrus DL in 2012: Kiwi, JPP, Joseph and Canty LB in 2012: Williams, Herz and Boley (correct, not Goff) DB in 2012: Webster, TT, Rolle and….dunno. Can Prince or TT play safety? OL in 2012: Beatty, Petrus, Baas, Snee and RT TBD Have at it guys

The Yanks already have one ARod contract. Signing CC to a long term deal much beyond what he already has is a questionable idea IMO. No stats to back it up, no financial models, just a healthy sense of doubt that he will age well. I think the Yanks are already seeing him start to deteriorate a bit – not a lot - and if you think he is capable of pitching at a high level as he nears 40 I guess I will disagree. If he opts out I hope they think long and hard about what they do. Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy and he has played hard and well. I just wonder about a longer term investment at more $$$. If he opts out and the Yankees drive up his salary so the Sox can sign him what do the Yankees do? Would love to know. I sure don’t. CJ Wilson is the only pitcher who looks good and he is the same age as CC. Do you swap CC for CJ? I’d keep Sabathia. A rotation without CC? Nova, Hughes, AJ, Colon and either a Killer B (pick one) or Noesi. And no depth.Not a championship rotation. Other offseason musings. Keep Swish. Hope Soriano opts out. Keep Cano. Trade Martin so Montero gets innings (Montero and Romine at catcher would be fine with me – I think Francisco maybe done). Ponder bringing Joba back to the rotation. Keep Cashman and ask him to find a good starter in a trade.
