My thoughts on 2 things thus far this offseason for the Yankees:

1) The free agent class they signed in 2008 (CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett and Mark Texiera) are stronger than this current crop (Brian McCann, Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran)

2) The Yankees need PITCHING! They have added offense for sure and they've resigned Kuroda (YES!) but they're still missing 2 starters (1 will probably go to either David Phelps, Adam Warran, Vidal Nuno or Michael Pineda). So that still leaves 1 start and they need either a set-up man (if David Robertson's going to be the closer) or a closer. I do NOT want to see them trade for David Price. I'd like to see him in New York don't get me wrong but I don't want to part with the prospects it'll cost to get him. He'll be a free agent this time next year - be patient.
