The Daily News is reporting this morning that Flash Gordon wants a three year deal and that the Yanks are only interested in two. So far, most reports have shown that the Yanks have shown interest in B.J. Ryan, Kyle Farnsworth, and Scott Eyre to help add some stability to the bullpen.

Also, some of the side trimmings from an article about the Matsui signing were interesting:
The Yankees were discouraged by Scott Boras' asking price of $84 million over seven years for Johnny Damon, so they will look seriously at signing Brian Giles with the thought of using a rotation in centerfield.

First, Scott Boras has to be crazy for setting that as Damon's asking price. $12 million a year for an aging centerfielder who isn't great defensively, is starting to show some offensive decline and has a less powerful arm than Bernie Williams. HOWEVER, if some GM actually signs Damon for that ludicrous deal, I will then bow to Mr. Boras, who will have displaced Stephen Hawking as the new smartest guy in the universe.

Second, a center field rotation, huh? I'm going to assume that rotation will consist of Matsui, Giles (I went into detail about it earlier) and Crosby (and after the first couple of months, hopefully Kevin Thompson as well, once Yankee management realize that he can do everything that Bubba can do, except better). I wonder how that would play out and what percentages each will play in center.
