It's no secret that the Yankees have a lot of work to do this offseason. The Yankees will primarily focus on starting pitching and some hitting. They will go after players such as CC Sabathia, Manny Ramirez, and Mark Teixeira. However there are still some holes in their line-ups that need filling.
The New York Yankees have a long standing tradition of being able to bring in the best talent on the market so it will be an interesting offseason with so much talent out there.
The Yankees have said that they are going to focus on pitching, but they have already made a move to get switch hitting Nick Swisher who can bring the big bat at any moment.
They have also freed up their money by releasing Jason Giambi, Carl Pavano and others.
The New York Yankees should be able to get Sabathia and A.J. Burnett. If not, then they will most likely pursue All-Star pitcher Ben Sheets. Either way the Yankees are determined to get more talent at the starting pitching role.
Another thing is that they will be able to get either Ramirez or Teixeira because they will have a lot of money left to get players. Either way this turns out it should be a great offseason!

I agree with everything you said about the offseason for the yankees. I do not think we need Manny Ramirez because we already have Damon in left and Matsui as the DH. I think we should only go after one hitter and that would be Texeira. As far as pithching goes, I would rather have them go out and get three starters, especially if Mussina hangs them up. If we do not get C.C. then we should go after Derek Lowe and Ben Sheets, along with Pettitte.
I feel that Joba Chamberlain should be in the bullpen, because he is a reliable setup man, and possible heir to Mariano.

Andrew, would that be sweet. CC, Sheets and Tex. Who would stop them, nobody that's who.
Nice quick read.

Andrew, I didn't really liked the Nick Swisher move, I prefer they get another instead of him, but now it's too late, while he has lot of power he strikes out a lot and always have a bad percentage, he has never had a good season like Jason Giambi, I really don't care about home runs, I care about hits, they should have got a better player offensively. And the Yankees desperately needs great starting pitchers, because pitching is the most important thing in the game, and with that move I'm really disappointed. Let's see who else the Yankees will get. I want 3.50 ERA pitchers or better than that and to fill up some batting needs, a .290 player.

I meant batting average not percentage.

No matter who the Yankees get, ...their karma will prevent them from winning anything (see A-Rod & Hankenstein). All they will "win" is mockery, laughter and scorn from all.
