Here’s a question: is it worth it to bring Posada/Rivera back at the cost it will take if the team looks more like an 85-90 win team? 85-90 wins doesn’t get you into the postseason these days…

I’ve advocated this before, but now I’m starting to change my mind (not that they would have done this anyway). I think that they now should accept that, see if they can get lucky, and try to scratch out a wild card. I’ve changed my mind because I just think that the timing isn’t right for re-building now. They don’t have enough position prospects. They’re stuck with expensive contracts now, so they might as well give the wild card run a chance.

I’m incredibly sorry to hear that A-Rod is leaving New York. It gives me far less hope for what the team’s chances are in the immediate future. I cringe at the kinds of moves the Yanks might make now to combat a total unraveling of the team’s chances.

Of course, this news about A-Rod opting out, trumps even that scoop:
