If we deal with the Yanks then Jeff Weaver is a must.  Plus some damn good players.  I'd probably say Nick Johnson, but there are huge ???'s about his wrist.

Hey Jason what do you think about demanding Jeter as a must. Yes I know he is very expensive and New York's God. But lately he hasn't gotten along with the boss man and with them already having Sorriono I think they may be willing to part with Jeter. Especially if we were willing to give up Colon, DJ, and Carlos Lee. I know that seems like a lot but IMO it really isn't, because we are getting a top 5 SS in the league both on offense and defense. And he brings all the qualities we have been looking for in a player(Being able to bunt, play great defense, steal bases, and would be a great leader for a young team).

 

So tell me what you think.

Its intriguing. If this team wasn't a small budget team I'd say go for it and I think you may be onto something cause I'd like the Yanks wouldn't mind unloading him and his huge contract.

 

The thing is, imo, Jeter is a waste of space at 20 mill. If you had him at 10 mill, fine, but he doesn't deserve more then that.

 

If the Sox were going to spend that kind of money, I'd rather try and sign Tejada and I think Tejada's price has really fallen.

 

One guy I really like is Renteria in St. Louis. Great defensive player and he's finally developing into a heck of an offensive player.

Yep that would be the only problem with Jeter and of course that is his contract.

 

I just with JR would suck it up and spend on his team. I have said this before I wish there was a rule in MLB that you have to spend a certain amount of money on your team 90mil or sell it.

I think their should be a minimum and maximum cap. Set the min around 45 mill and the max at 90 to 100 mill. The overall total salary scheme in baseball would stay the same, but it at this price range, I think more teams could stay competitive.

 

It will never happen, but its my theory.

 

Of course there are some ways around the min cap, like if your rebuilding you have a few years where the salaries can stay under, etc.

Jeter's stats have been on about a 4 year decline.  I'd really be afraid of that move.  I'm thinking if he was anywhere but NY, at this point in his career, he'd just be considered an average SS.

I will agree with you that his stats are declining but IMO thier whole offense has been in a decline so that may be the the reason his #s have been in a decline. IMO all we would need from him is to hit .285 with 200 hits, 25 SBs, 15 HRs, and great defense. And I think he can still do that
