I'm surprised by how many of you guys want Coal (in spirit of the holidays). Of course I do too, and he is a stud, but if this guy decides that he got his contract and can take his foot off the gas, or gets hurt, Yanks are screwed, for YEARS! 280 million is not a risk I would be willing to take. However, Steve you are right on point, as their window IS RIGHT NOW.
Sounds legit, as I read they brought Petitte in as part of the recruiting process. Yanks must be really serious about getting Coal/Stras.
Should be interesting, but I still think he ends up on the left coast. Of course he has to assure the Yanks he has no West coast Bias, without the Yankees in on the bidding, Boras can't leverage the Angels or Dodgers, where I think he ultimately ends up.
