agreed, the yankees could have had Beltran for that price if they just doubled the $ and years. I would have much rather had a youngster entering his prime then Damon going down hill fast.
either way i have been quite disappointed with the yanks "moves" this offseason, Farnsworth for nearly 6 mil a year, Mike Myers, Going after Dotel and bringing in Villone from Florida. Those are all new Bullpen pieces but not a single one of them strikes fear into opposing hitters like i wanted out of a setup man GRRRR
