Holliday LF
Nady RF
Posada C/DH/1B
O.Hudson 2B
Melky/ A.Jackson CF

CC
Wang
Joba
Moose
Pettitte for cheap?/Burnett? If they dare

they have about 80 mill to spend, and after thsi year that could be 100+mill.

I doubt Cashman would trade Hughes and Cano for Holiday. He'd trade Cano or Hughes, but not both. I don't think I would either.

And too be honest I even don't know if the Rockies would take it.

A-Jax won't be ready next year, at least not by opening day. If Melky had a great spring I'd give him his starting job back, defensively he's the best the Yankees got.

I think CC and Tex are both very important signings, if they want to be Yankees, Cashman should make them Yankees.

Burnett wants a long-term deal - I stay away.
