Why keep Lowe when 1) he doesn't want to be here, and 2) he's going to cost 15 million a year over 3 or 4 years? Why not just go all in for Sabathia? 7 x 140 million.

I've expressed before that I think Ned will go out and try to get Ray Durham. I thought it was a typical "Ned's guys" move. The idea seems better and better to me every time I re-visit it. Which makes me think he wont do it. I think I'd rather go with Hu at second and DeJesus at SS anyway.

Sign Manny, Sabathia, Javvy Vaentin, and maybe some more junk to fill a few (Cheap!) holes.

We'll see how he screws this up.

Personally, I'd rather keep Lowe than either Andy or Randy, but that's just me.

However $100MM for 4 years of Manny's Age 37-40 service? No thanks. We'll have to see how creative Trader Neddie can get.

I'm not so sure that Pettitte is a better option than Randy Johnson simply because Andy will likely require more money. I'm willing to go 30 million over 3 years for Andy. Johnson would only cost one year in all likelyhood. Both seem like good replacements for Lowe. Innings eaters at a decent price and league average+ performance.

Signing Manny has been a must! 100 million over 4 years is reasonable with no options afterward.

Solidify the rotation and the lineup, add a few scrap heap relievers and starters and a middle infielder in AAA incase things really get out of hand (Hu loses sight in both eyes) and were set. It should be fairly easy to win the West when all the other clubs are still rebuilding.
