Do you expect Chien-Ming Wang and/or Robinson Cano to maintain these levels of production?
No, but I expect both to be above-average players for the next several years. I have to admit that I have never seen a pitcher get so much weak contact as Wang does. Even Roy Halladay didn’t cause the death of so many worms in the dirt in front of home plate. If you’re Brian Cashman, which free agents are you targeting and how much would you be willing to pay? First thing is to get Mussina under contract, esp. since it seems like he’s willing to sign with the Yanks for less than the market rate. Given that, I’d be after 1-2 starting pitchers, preferably guys who don’t rely heavily on their defenses (since that’s the one area where the Yanks are not strong and not likely to get stronger in ’07), and then any strike-throwing middle reliever I can get my hands on. I’d try to avoid giving up more than one draft pick, though; this farm system is finally on its way back, and forfeiting a whole draft would not help. I’d rather let Karstens/Clippard/Hughes/etc. fight it out for the fifth-start
