ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Yankees brass finished two days of meetings yesterday in Tampa and charted a plan of attack that isn't a surprise to anybody who has been paying attention. With major holes in their rotation, they are going to be in on the bidding for free agent pitchers CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett, they have an interest in Ben Sheets and Derek Lowe and might entertain a trade for Jake Peavy. Because of a vacancy at first base, where it doesn't appear Jason Giambi will be asked back, the Yankees likely will listen to what kind of deal switch-hitting free agent Mark Teixeira will be looking to sign. According to a person with knowledge of the Yankees' thinking, no concrete decisions were reached during the two days, but reports were examined and names discussed. Unlike his predecessor, Joe Torre, manager Joe Girardi was involved in the meetings, attending both days. The Yankees are aware of Andy Pettitte's desire to return, but aren't sure they want to go more than one year with the left-hander. At the end of the month, the Yankees expect to hear Mike Mussina will retire after recording his first 20-win season. The Yankees believe they can fill their rotation holes through free agency, but Sabathia, the top arm on the market, has told people in Milwaukee that he isn't wild about playing in New York. His top preference is the Dodgers, but they may not have the $140 million it likely will take to land him. The Bronx fits into Burnett's wish to remain close to his Maryland roots. Sheets, whose injury history has raised red flags, has above-average stuff and a live arm when healthy. Lowe, who is looking for a three-year deal, would prefer to stay with the Dodgers. It's not known if the Yankees have what the Padres are going to want for Peavy. Teixeira certainly would be an upgrade at first, but the early word is that agent Scott Boras is looking for a 10-year deal in the $200 million range. So, the most intriguing news to come out of the organizational meetings was Hank Steinbrenner saying everybody was in agreement that Joba Chamberlain would start 2009 in the rotation. 其它消息： With the Dodgers eliminated from the postseason, the Yankees are waiting to hear if Larry Bowa is willing to return as their third base coach. Bowa finished the first year of a two-year deal with the Dodgers but has an out. If Bowa remains with Joe Torre, the Yankees may turn to Mike Gallego, a former Yanks infielder, who parted ways with the Rockies this year. -- Chien-Ming Wang threw 20 pitches off a half-mound yesterday and 25 off a full mound in Tampa. Wang missed the second half of last year with a sprained foot. . . . The Yankees have not renewed the contract of Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre coach Alvaro Espinoza. http://tinyurl.com/5je6ct -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.126.132.207
