More Yanks
There is widespread speculation that when and if the Yanks complete a Randy Johnson trade, they could enter the Barry Zito sweepstakes. Though we would prefer a shorter deal with Roger Clemens, if Zito really wants to be a Yankee and is willing to give the Yanks a discount like the one Beltran once offered, he'd be a very nice addition. What he really brings is outstanding durability, and that's something the Yanks could really use.
If a Johnson deal gets done, it will be interesting to see what else might get done, especially if prospects come back.

From Heyman's column:
The person who knows Zito's father and family speculated, "If the Yankees want him, they can have him."
yup.
It will be interesting to see if the Yanks can spin Pavano to one of the teams that loses out on RJ.
Troubling news about Bobby Murcer.
Best wishes to him.
Former Yankees star Bobby Murcer to have surgery for brain tumor

NEW YORK - Former New York Yankees star Bobby Murcer was set to have surgery Thursday to remove a brain tumor, the Daily News reported.
The 60-year-old Murcer, now a Yankees broadcaster, was scheduled to undergo surgery in Houston. He had been having headaches and feeling a loss of energy lately, and the tumor was discovered following an MRI on Christmas Eve, the newspaper reported Thursday.
"I'm feeling OK and we're just going to have to see what this surgery will bring," Murcer told the Daily News by phone Wednesday night. "I'm hopeful that everything will turn out OK and I'm thankful to have so many friends who are rooting for me."
Murcer was to be treated at the MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, one of the top cancer facilities in the nation, the newspaper said.
Murcer played 17 seasons in the major leagues from 1965-83 and was a five-time All-Star and a Gold Glove-winning outfielder. In his career with the Yankees, San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs, he batted .277 with 252 home runs and 1,043 RBIs.
After his retirement, Murcer won three Emmy Awards for live sports coverage as the voice of the Yankees.
