What great starting pitcher will the Yankees get this off season to make the red sox look sad again?

As an actual answer to this question, I would expect the Yanks to make a play for Zito, but I don't think he'll end up there.  They might also take a shot at Garcia from the White Sox.  \n\nTO all the Boston fans out there, don't fret, even though you might get this great japanese pitcher, you'll still find a way to loose.

Burnett will soon go on the DL.  Replace him with a pitcher with good strikeout potential.  Bedard or Cabrera of Baltimore, Escobar of the Angels, Oliver Perez or Justin Verlander are some good ones.  Drop Padilla NOW.  A bad pitcher pitching in a bad pitching park will hurt you.  Wakefield could also be dropped if needed.  Your offense isn't bad.  Granderson of Detroit might be a good replacement for Casey.  He has the ability to steal 20 or more bases and hit 20 or more home runs.  And I would start Freel over Drew.

Red Sox!!  Mike Lowell will hit 2 doubles and Big Papi will go deep.  Wang will be gone by the 4th.

It will definitely be A-Rod.\nUnless Randy Johnson has an incredible performance throughout the year.

Red Sox are a good bet, but don't rule out the White Sox either.  They could move Scott Podsednik to center field and put Lee back in left field, plus they have been known to open their wallets when they see a need.  Can you inmagine a middle lineup of Thome, Konerko, Dye and Lee?

Id go for ..Billy Wagner if i had the choice for the NY Mets..But i wouldnt trade beckett just yet he will get his fair share of stikeouts and wins in boston.

Current or of all time? \n\nFor Current -- I'm going with the Rocket (Rodger Clemens). he's older than most players in the league, yet still throws in the upper 90's. last season he entered a game as a pinch hitter in the 14th inning and still threw a shut out. He's unbelievable, plus he has the competitive attitude I like (plus he isn't afraid to throw at batters' heads to back 'em off the plate).

Pitching is the only thing we really need,I hope they made a really good bid on this Matsuzaka!! I heard Andy Pettite Had dinner with Joe Torre Last night,And i read in todays paper,he said if he pitches next yr he wants to come back to the yankees,Roger Clemens if he plays next yr,WILL FINISH HIS CAREER IN BOSTON!! From what i read in todays paper If we don't get Matsuzaka,We'll go after Zito,And i belive Pettite is going to come back.Don't forget we have this Kid Phil Huges,Whos also going to be a GREAT PITCHER! And We'll get something for Sheffield\n4 clubs called about him,But Cashman wants to trade him to an NL Team,,Because he's pissed,and he can hurt us in the long run if we trade him to an AL Team,

Manny Ramirez or Bobby Abreu depending on which team will part with them. They need pitching, but there isn't much out there.

roger clemens. the rocket. hes the best active pitcher all-time, and current, even though he hasnt pitched a major league game yet this year. by the end of the year he'll prove hes still the best. the best reliever is jonathon papelbon

Baez has been struggling, so there will be almost a definite chance Saito will be moved to the closer role until Baez can find his form again. You will most likely see Baez come in during losses and/or blowouts  and possibly a few set up roles.

As a member of Red Sox Nation, I am fed up with the middle relief.  The only ones that can be trusted now are Delcarmen and Timlin.  Taveras, Foulke, Seanez, and Riske are just plain bad.  Bring up Hansen.  Trade for some middle relief help from a bad team.  Something NEEDS to be done.

Apparently no one, they had one of the top three most disappointing off-seasons of any MLB team. I will be surprised to see them contend this year or, for that matter, see Clemens come back -- why should he? The team basically sat on their thumbs.

The Cardinals. The Yanks are defintely not the best now since they lost both Matsui and Sheffield.

A. Francouer is not having a fluke season. He is having a sophmore slump.\nB. Neither is Swisher.  This is a sign of things to come.  Billy Beane has always believed that he would be great player and now he is.\n \nShelton is a fluke\nMaddux isn't\nWe'll have to see about Arroyo. I wish the Bosox hadn't traded him!

In the NL, Pujols\n\nIn the AL, a damn Yankee ( it doesn't matter which one, they're all generic now)

Jose Contreras is by far my coice for the best pitcher in the major leagues. He has gifted the White Sox with quite a winning streak of 15 games straight this season and hasn't lost since last year!
