Bobby Valentine? No way, he is crazy. Why not Davey Johnson? Gee, why not Larry Bowa? Just not Don Mattingly. I’d hate to see him follow the Torre era. You never want to be the guy that follows the big winner – you have no where to go but down. I like Mattingly too much.

Dontrelle Willis and Scott Kazmir (both free agents as we speak)... – No. IIRC, they are arbitration eligible. That means trade. And Willis stunk it up this year. Big time.

Trade all of Trenton (the team, the stadium, the city, all of it) for the Twin’s Santana - F/E eligible after next season & the twinkies can't resign him.

Let Abreau go – a $16m option is too high. If you can bring him back cheap, ok. Else maybe Torri Hunter is out there, or Aaron Rowan. But even Hunter's skills have eroded. Move the melk man to RF or trade for good pitching.

If they can give away damon or giambi it woud be good.

Pettite (his choice, not the teams, BTW player option), Mo & Posada need to come back. I think Posada is a year away from being the everyday 1B.
