The yankees need a starter. If they can't get one, they should get a reliever...
Other than Halladay, who we are not getting (99% chance), who else is out there?
I was disappointed that we lost out on Washburn.

I would say Davis is available, as is Garland.Originally Posted by Kathordine

Halladay, Davis, Garland, Bannister, or a reliever

Get it done Cash
Duchscherer is still out there, though risky.
You'd be better off starting a guy in AAA than trading for Davis or Garland.

Cashman will work out a deal to get Felix Hernandez, I have faith.

Garland sucks but Davis is definitely better than Mitre or someone that we could bring up from AAA right now. I wouldn't give up much but I doubt Arizona is asking for that much to begin with. Their team stinks and, IIRC, he's a free agent after this year. They really have no leverage so he could and should come cheap. He throws really slow and would be perfect for sandwiching inbetween two of our harder throwers.
Merry f'ing Christmas
They have to do something. How can we let Mitre start for another few weeks...it's ridiculous. We're in a pennant race here
Yeah I looked at Davis's numbers and they're not bad. Even if he pitches in the 4.25-4.5 era range (his era now is 3.67), that would be a significant upgrade.

We have Mitre guys, everything is gonna be just fine.

You know what ... calling up Duncan today may just be the straw that broke the camel's back for me wrt my faith in Cashman.
Never left the Betances bandwagon.
XM just reported he was scratchd from his AAA start tonight with no reason given.

Who is Luke French from the Tigers and I still can't beleive the Yanks did not land Washburn
You know that he's going to hit a big homer to win a game in August, right?
Let the kids play.

Guys it's ok, let's break down our trade.
Jason Hirsch is 27. 2+7=9. He's got an ERA of 6.66 (we're the Evil Empire, so this is warranted). 6+6+6=18, we're going to cheat a little and put a 1 in front of that 9, and combine it with 18, not add. That's 1918. Manny, Ortiz, and Brandon Arroyo tainted their WS wins. So technically the Sox still haven't won, and we get our old cheer back.
Now if you add 19+18 you get 37, which is probably how many bottles of lube Theo sent Shapiro for the V-Mart trade.
When did this thread turn into a Nic Cage movie?
We call up Shelly Duncan, Red Sox get V-Mart, and all our targets get traded for garbage.
depressing.
There is no one left to get. The Yanks has to battle with what they got. The team needs to circle their wagons and go play even better than they have.
No, they just have to actually start hitting against any #1 or #2 opposing starters they face and Alex Rodriguez has to look at the calendar and realize it's an odd numbered year.

El Duque has to be better than Mitre. He's obviously not a solution at his age, (whatever that may be) but he's an upgrade in all likelihood. Maybe give Mulder a shot too. Anything is better than Mitre.
Mariners wanted Montero or Jackson for Washburn.
Washburn is a lefty flyball pitcher in Seattle with pretty much the best OF defense behind him -- he wasn't that good anyway.
All offers for Felix Hernandez were shut down. I bet the Mariners wanted an absolute fortune for him. Hughes/Joba + Montero + A-Jax + ..., you get the idea.
The Yankees deal for the Royals with Bannister fell apart because the Royals wouldn't pay 650k on his deal. This made me sad. I like Bannister.

There are stories out there that ownership gave Cashman a choice... You can sign Texiera in the pre-season but in exchange, not have much monetary flexibility during the season. Cash took the deal, which I think we would all agree was well worth the downside. Now we are experiencing that downside and have no money to spend - hence the Bannister story. We need to stop blaming Cashman for not being able to make a deal. His monetary hands were tied.
Like somebody said in another thread, if money became an issue bidding against yourself for A-Rod, Mariano, CC, and Posada was a bad choice.
I am serious, I think Kei Igawa is better than Mitre. Give him a shot.
I would. We need to get some returns from the guy, right?

Every player in the world improves when you cant see them. We cant forget just how awful Kei Igawa was in the big leagues.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
Sometimes you can steal one if the teams hasn't seen you in awhile. Like Mitre did in his first start.

Even still, you're just placing a band-aid on an amputated leg. We really need a legitimate #5 starter.
Never left the Betances bandwagon.
Paul Byrd is still a FA. He could be a cheap option, if the Yanks are willing to sign him.

28, here we come!
I had heard on the radio up here the Sox made a 5 for 1 offer and that the Mariners actually thought about it...
"Scooter - RIP and thank you for being part of my childhood"
I think we have to go out there get guys like El Duque, Paul Byrd, and while they're getting ready let Mitre start.
I'd also send Aceves down to get things back together and possibly be stretched out into a starting role.
Then of course we need to be scouring the waiver wire. If a guy like Garland slips through we should go after him. Garland started out slow but has really been pitching well in the second half. He's also a big time innings eater which is exactly what you want in the back of your rotation. He'll go deep into games and give this team a shot to win.
I like Mitre better than Garland. 5.50 tRA, 5.74 tRA, and a 5.06 tRA over the past 3 years? I keep away.

this stinks we added nothing to our starting rotation and Mitre's start against CWS is a taste of things to come
ugh
The real reason why the Yankees keep winning is cause the other team can't stop staring at the damn pinstripes
"The Mariners rejected offers from six different teams for young ace pitcher Felix Hernandez, according to ESPN's Jayson Stark and Peter Gammons. GM Jack Zduriencik admitted he listened, but didn't find anything even worth discussing."
