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.
At the risk of falling into the chasm

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%.
97% is 3% away from 100%
9 is a multiple of 3.
100 + 9 = … < rubs eyes > my god!
I see what you did there.

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.

I disagree

Do you really see Sabean taking a chance on another injured player so soon after the Freddy Sanchez debacle?
why not?

Damon
Who will promptly fall off a cliff once he starts playing here
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all

GET THAT VORP AND WHIP SH!T OUTTA HERE!!!
BTW
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.
If you can get 3:2 on a headline of "Giants Pitcher Assaults General Manager" at some point this year, take it.
How old is Damon?

Will they be excited to see Citizen Cain?

When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
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.
I'm thinking but nothing's happening.
Aren't we all dying inside?
Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. The clock runs down. Hair turns gray. Skin wrinkles. Our bodies deteriorate. The spirit of our youth evaporates. The joy of life becomes a distant memory. Each second you are dying a little inside. So try to cheer up huh?

Yankee fan logic fail...
But money does not make CC talented or Tex, Jeter, A-rod etc…the talents is there and they are rewarded immensely. If a salary cap was in place, would that mean A-rod will now hit 20 homers and CC win 10 games, in my opinion that point is senseless

Bradley moves to 1st base.
IF WE RESIGN MOLINA THE ONLY STARTER LEFT WITHOUT VETERAN GRIT IS SANDOVAL
I bet we could trade Sandoval for a gritty gamer with veteran savvy. Then re-acquire Sandoval as he approaches 35.
I'm thinking but nothing's happening.
We joke about the veteran savvy but Sabean really believes in it so that really makes it more sad than funny.
