He keeps this up and he'll be granted his wish to play his home games on the East Coast again. Hank Steinbrenner is calling.

Yanks Eyeing Derek Lowe For '09?
According to Tony Massarotti of the Boston Herald:

There are already indications that the New York Yankees will be among Derek Lowe’s suitors during the offseason.

That's not the point of Massarotti's column; he's mainly discussing Lowe's leverage given his unique durability. I did a piece of Lowe recently; Scott Boras should be able to get him at least three years and $39MM. Does he make sense for the Yankees? Could he succeed back in the AL East for his age 36-39 seasons (or more)?

We'll take the two compensatory draft picks, while Lowe gets reaquainted with Manny's and Big Papi's abilities with the bat.

Hahaha. You would think the Yankees fans would take any healthy pitching they could get

You'd think they take a guy who actually has fairly recent playoff success. He might remind some of the yankees of that concept.

That concept was brilliantly employed when they signed Carl Pavano of the 2003 champion Marlins.

Keyword, marlins.

Also keywords Carl and Pavano.
Face it, Beckett and Penny were the only ones that came away from that intact. For the most part, anyways.
