It Has to be Yu

The Yanks have already taken care of their most pressing need for 2012 by re-signing CC Sabathia. Now, they need to be patient and see what their options are for rebuilding the bench and rotation. The big exception here is Yu Darvish. It's no secret that the Yanks have been scouting Darvish for years. I also think they have been pooling funds for a bid on Darvish. Darvish makes the most sense for the Yanks because all he will cost is money, and no players or picks. The Yanks don't look like they will be picking up any extra draft picks this year, so they need to protect the ones they have to the extent they can. Darvish is a stuff pitcher who has dominated his league for years, and is still young. He will be younger than Phil Hughes next year, for example. So getting him would give them a chance add an impact starter for years to come. Nothing wrong with that. The only uncertainty is the bidding process, but, hopefully, they've done their homework and will win the right to sign him.

Other than that, they just need to find this year's Chavez, Jones, Garcia and Colon. They can do it. Go Yanks!
