Poll: Which of the Yankees' free agents....

...will Brian Sabean try to sign this off-season?
Will he sign Jose Molina, re-sign Bengie, and give us 162 games of Molina catchers behind the plate? (Buster Posey could always play at third, or something.) Will he appeal to the Bay Area's large Asian fanbase and invite Hideki Matsui, along with his massive porn collection, to move to the West Coast? Since Fred Lewis is apparently the problem, is Johnny Damon apparently the answer in left field? What about Xavier "OMG LOCAL TIES!!!!" Nady? Or Andy Petitie? He WINZ World Series games, you know.
A cynical fanpost, perhaps, but it's the official first day in more than seven months with no baseball of any sort, and the only thing worse than having to listen to John Stirling's caterwauling call of the final out last night was thinking about how Brian Sabean is probably going to overpay for one of these guys.

Hideki Matsui, along with his massive porn collection
I think Matsui would be a fine addition to the team.

Matsui would be a great fit on this team since he hasn’t played a game in the field this season, so perhaps we should throw millions at him so he can PH or DH in interleague games…..With this team, why wouldn’t that surprise me???

Damon has moved the Dye-guarantee-o-meter from 80% to 55%. The odds that one of the two will be a Giant have improved to 97%.
by Grant on Nov 5, 2009 9:09 AM PST reply actions 0 recs
97% is 3% away from 100%
9 is a multiple of 3.
100 + 9 = … < rubs eyes > my god!

Nady is right up Sabean's alley
Had one good year, “played” for a championship team, is actually a mediocre to middling talent, and will cost less than $10 million/year. It just feels right.

If Damon ends up coming here, I think his doubles and triples will go up some but his HR rate probably is going to look depressing, just basing it on Hit Tracker’s plots from the past 2-3 seasons.

Well, he does regularly strain his calves (not the kinds that go “MOO” – preemptive to Lars) and got hurt last night. Given his age and contract situation, should be a solid Sabean signing.

All I know for certain is, when we sign someone this offseason who’s over the age of 35 and has declining skills, I’m going to die a little more inside as Sabean talks about how he’s a proven winner, does the little things right, and provides great veteran leadership.
