Are you frigging kidding me?

The Yanks are really signing Teixeira? On top of Sabathia and Burnett? Dear god.

Once again, Steinbrenner appears intent on putting together the most expensive team he can, regardless of whether or not that team is going to gell.

Well, to be fair a lot of their problem children came off the books this year, and Teixeira was probably their best acquisition this winter. He protects A-Rod, and to a lesser extent, Jeter. The problem was their own two pickups, because Burnett's injury prone and has no guts and Sabathia's a three year rental for them barring a miracle or absolute suckage on CC's part. The pizza here is much better than what he had in Milwaukee, so I suppose he could pack on another 30 or 40 pounds.

I'm nothing but thrilled about the Mets pickups so far this season, btw, and hope we'll have Lowe in a couple of weeks. I'm resigned to keeping Castillo, as much as I would like a baller like Hudson. Que sera. I *don't* want Manny.
