Then his price might just seem very cheap.<br /><br />I really love Taylor, not sure but I don't think it's the same Chris Carter however. Can anyone confirm that?accudarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02382053706682702257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-40133924041208992592010-01-27T22:42:52.583-08:002010-01-27T22:42:52.583-08:00Uh, Lackey's pretty much Josh Beckett, at leas...Uh, Lackey's pretty much Josh Beckett, at least statisically speaking.

They forked over big money for Sheets, if they can pony up enough for Damon they just might compete. If they are not in the running they can be a sellar at the trade deadline and pick up more prospects. The trade for Taylor I think will turn out to be huge for them. I think they will surprise and that division is up for grabs.accudarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02382053706682702257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-41114506041768674392010-01-27T13:15:51.597-08:002010-01-27T13:15:51.597-08:00I guess the Yankees are serious about keeping that...I guess the Yankees are serious about keeping that payroll trim at $200m.
