Halladay and Lackey aren’t a must sign for the yankees this offseason. I’d rather they went elsewhere. The Red Sox won’t sign both guys and just one of them won’t make a big difference for the BoSox they’ll still wind up in 2nd. Yanks should be creative with their money and focus on giving their big prospects they have coming up. But with Mr. CASHman I know thats wishful thinking.

You make valid points. Lackey is no bum though and of course he is no Halladay. Halladay is going to sign a big contract after this season and the question “When will the Yankees ever stop spending?” will arise. Lackey’s contract won’t be as big as Halladay’s next contract and he’d be a great addition to the rotation. Obviously Halladay would put the Yankees over the top but the Yankees can win without him in 2010.

First off Lackey is not in the class of pitchers as Halliday. Yes the Yankees would have to give up a couple of there best prospects but you are aquiring one of the best if not the best pitcher in baseball. Pitching wins championships and if the Yankees had not signed CC last winter, there would be no championship this year. The Yankees will not win again going with a 3 man rotation in the playoffs next year as there wont be as many off days. When you have the chance to get the best pitcher in baseball you do it. Prospects are just that PROSPECTS.
