Because most teams believe that the odds of him returning as an effective, healthy starter aren't good enough to justify a $2 million investment. The Yankees should know more about Wang's medicals than anyone. I think we need to give them the benefit of the doubt here, especially considering that the Yankees would need to pay luxury tax on top of Wang's contract and give up a roster spot if they sign him, and already have a stacked rotation. He wants to start so he can get a big contract in 2011, not me stashed in the Yankees' minor league system as a replacement option.Rich Mahoganynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-89713381051053120422010-02-10T21:56:56.812-08:002010-02-10T21:56:56.812-08:00"One can only wonder what would've happen..."One can only wonder what would've happened if he had decided to simply leave the bat on his shoulder that day in Houston."<br /><br />You really wanna play the agonizing "what-if" game? If you don't remember... the batter after CMW during that game when he got injured running was Johnny Damon. There were two outs in the inning, and Johnny grounded weakly to shortstop. It should have ended the inning, but the shortstop made an error, allowing it to go on. The next batter, Jeter, got a hit... and the rest is awful awful history. And the game was a blowout too!!!!! Aaaagh!!!<br /><br />I do wish Wang all the luck in the world. Though I hope he sucks against the Yankees. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-55632062467639371182010-02-10T21:54:07.613-08:002010-02-10T21:54:07.613-08:00If Wang can go for $2MM, I say why not take the ch...If Wang can go for $2MM, I say why not take the chance to keep him, eh Bronny?

I hope he does OK with the Nats, if that's really where he's going. I heard the Dodgers removed themselves from going for Wang (I did that on purpose, thank you), so if Torre looked at those medicals and said "that's a no" then... eek...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-46216714415981003132010-02-10T17:15:11.444-08:002010-02-10T17:15:11.444-08:00A truly lovable Yankee.
