... will be part of one of this years plans. Here's an interesting name: "Casey Blake, third baseman/first baseman/outfielder. Versatile player came through big for the Dodgers. A possibility for Yankees if Teixeira goes elsewhere." Baseball Prospectus delivers a scouting report:"Casey Blake might not be an impact player, but that doesn't mean he's not incredibly valuable...what makes him integral is his versatility...This sort of player is always underappreciated." Sounds like a ...

CC Sabathia is out there for the signing
New York Yankees Fan Blog —
... ). The question then becomes: What will it take to get him? Jon Heyman puts the Yanks as front-runners to land the talented lefty's services: Good for the Brewers and their go-for-the-gusto owner Mark Attanasio to make a serious try at around $100 mil.

Proved to be clutch again this postseason. Seems to want to go East. My call: Mets, four years, $56 million (but the Yankees will be pitching, too, and Lowe’s hometown Tigers could be a dark horse).... 9. ...
