    Forecast Yankees will pursue CC, Burnett, Lowe, Teixeira, Peavy and maybe Manny.

    The Yankees will pursue big-name stars like CC Sabathia - 2008 MLB Playoffs - SI.com

    Big Hank has met for two days with Brian Ca$hman and that's what they have decided. This offseason, they will go after CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, Mark Teixeira, Jake Peavy and possibly Manny Ramirez.

    Hank isn't messing around.

    As has been said, he may as well dream big. I could see the Yanks landing one or possibly 2 of these guys, but if they were to sign them all, it would be a miracle.

    Obviously they couldn't get them all but if those are the guys they want they will likely get a couple of them. You can't put all your eggs in one basket towards one or 2 players.

    Yawn. Wow, the Yankees went to go after good players. Big news.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Because he will be a free agent.

    because Manny plays extra hard when he can spite the Red Sox, and what better place to do it than NY? clearly when he plays, he f'in plays. .396 once going to the Dodgers and over .400 in the playoffs is exactly what the Yankees need.

    No, the Yankees need better pitching in the rotation and bullpen. Let's say Manny has a good year and then gets tired of NY. Where are you then?? Yankees need to try and find a CFer and pitching. Manny makes them older and weaker on defense. Yankees need to get back to their winning ways and sticking to the same formula doesn't allow them to do that.

    He's better served in California, avoids constant scrutiny. Everyone's too stoned to diss Manny in LA

    Of course he's playing hard now. He's playing for a contract.

    I guarantee you he goes back to being himself next year no matter who he signs with.

    I'd put money on Boras successfully convincing him to play his heart out at the end of this season to convince potential suitors that he just didn't like Boston.

    Manny will go back to only trying when Manny feels like it next year after he signs a multi year multi million dollar contract with some poor suspecting team.
