The damn Yankees signed Mark Teixeira today. Some people take the attitude that the Yankees ability to get any player they want is unfair. I take the attitude that Sabathia, Burnett, A-Rod and Teixeira are all out of the national League, so the Phillies don't have to deal with them. I do not thbink it's going to work. Is Teixiera really that much better than Ortiz? The Rays players are all young. They'll improve. Sabathia is solid, but I do not think he scares anyone. His tear through the National League was against all bad teams. When he faced good teams, he lost. Teixeira came to Atlanta as a savior and was traded to the Angels as a savior and did not get either team anywhere. Burnett was a great pitcher last season, but his previou career high in wins was 12. In ten year. he did that twice. he also won 10 twice. Sabathia's career high is 19 wins. He won 17 last year. Another thing they both have in common besides never having won 20 is that last year they both had teammates won did: Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay. So Sabathia and Burnett are a good one two punch, but it's hard for me to see how they are ridiculously better than, say, Beckett, Dice-K and Lester.
Teixeira, A-Rod and whoever are an impressive line-up, but but they aren't god. I would rather have the Cubs line up.
Btw, the Cubs should really sign Abreu.
