I think every team would prefer to keep its prospects

George Steinbrenner died! Scoop Cathie!
We have a team practically in place right now, with CC (Sabathia) coming back, that had the best record in the American League ... So we've got a good team. We have a couple of areas we've addressed where were need to improve, and we're going to look to do that.

Absolutely, that's something we'd consider

Every player’s different. We’re going to look at every single option and we’re going to analyze it
I’d never heard of El Duque (Orlando Hernandez) until he came here
We still have some work to do
Look, it’s difficult when you don’t have as much film on a player to watch
He will show up in spring ready to play ... He’ll be in shape and he’ll be doing his work. He knows he needs to do better than that.
It ended up working out pretty well, but I’m still a little concerned about our rotation ...

Every person is different; every player is different ... We’re going to look at every single one. We’re going to look at every single option, and we’re going to analyze it. It will be a go or no-go, but we look at each person as an individual.
Everybody wanted CC to be a Yankee ... He’s a great Yankee, we all know that. Great guy. Great clubhouse guy. Great team player. It needed to get done, and I think both sides worked pretty diligently to do just that. It was a major signing. He’s our ace. We all know we needed him. To get that off the ta...
I’ve learned there’s a lot of press that comes with them.
I think we would all rather do that, but it’s not always possible
It’s difficult when you don’t have as much film on a player to watch, and you don’t have as many scouts who have laid eyes on that player before
No, it will not ... Every person is different. Every player is different. We’re going to look at every single one. We’re going to look at every single option, and we’re going to analyze it. It will be a go or no-go, but we look at each person as an individual.
I’m still a little concerned about our rotation
We’re pretty close to the team we were last year, which had the best record in the American League ... We let the fans down in the playoffs. There’s no doubt about it. They know that, I know that, Cashman knows that. But our team from last year is, for the most part, intact. There’s some concerns. We’re...
