The Yankees envision Joba Chamberlain as a starter and they are eager to see what his blazing fastball and electric slider can do as part of their rotation. But the Bombers also are concerned about how many innings the 22-year-old will throw next season, so Chamberlain may start the year in the bullpen.

Cashman refused to reveal Chamberlain's innings limit. Asked if Phil Hughes or Ian Kennedy have limits as well, Cashman said, "We'll manage innings limits on everyone who's got them." (Source)

That makes 17 first baseman and no relief pitching. After this, we should go out and pick up a few more DH's. I wonder if Jack Clark can still take some at bats.

At first base- below average fielding Shelly Duncan, Giambi, Wilson Betemit and now Lane. This makes little to no sense. Lane is an outfielder, just like every other player the Yankees try to put at 1st. At least when we had Andy Phillips, he was a 1st baseman with decent defense and average offense. Now we have a circus of inconsistent fielding and hitting. Sweet.

At DH sharing time- Giambi, Duncan, Damon, Matsui. I just came up with this great idea. Maybe we should think about getting players that can not only hit, but can also play in the field. Brilliant.

Lane, 31, hit .175 with eight home runs and 27 RBIs in 171 at-bats for the Astros and Padres last season. He hit a career-high 26 homers in 2005 with Houston, when he batted .267 and had 78 RBIs.

The Yankees selected draft-eligible sophomore Bradley Suttle in the fourth round of the 2007 MLB Draft out of the University of Texas. Signing too late to get any significant at-bats during the minor league season, the Yankees sent him to the Hawaiian Winter League to get indoctrinated into the professional game this offseason.

Wallace: Thanks for coming on Roger

Clemens: I am so pissed off Mike, that you would think I was Raging.

Wallace: Did you use steroids or HGH

Clemens: Now why would I use it? So my career gets elevated to the next level and I get more fame and money? So I am more dominant? Now thats ridiculous

Wallace: So why would Andy Pettitte admit to it?

Clemens: I don't even know who Andy Pettitte is, is he that country singer?

Steinbrenner said the offer "does not include two of the three young pitchers" - Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy, from a group that also includes untouchable Joba Chamberlain - "but it's still the best one. And let's face it, we're the best able to handle the kind of contract (extension) Santana will be after."

Steinbrenner would not divulge the Yanks' offer, but multiple reports have pegged it as Hughes, outfielder Melky Cabrera, pitching prospect Jeff Marquez and another prospect. Santana, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, probably would require a huge extension with his potential new team to waive his no-trade clause. Some reports have said it could be as much as six years for $120 million.
