would you rather have Hamilton for 3-4 years or Cano for 7-8?

Not a Yankee fan, but Cano is the better bet there.

Orioles fan, but there is no argument that could be made for taking Hamilton over Cano. Cano's production for a second basemen is unmatched.

when you are a Yankee fan, and you have seen what these long-term contracts do to your team at the end... having a 40 year old Cano making 20+ Million isn't very good for the team.

Having great production out of Hamilton for 3 years is a great option.. This is a legit question.

If Yankees sign Hamilton this year, they could theoretically have him, Cano and Granderson this year.

The problem is, does paying Hamilton, prevent you from signing Cano long-term with the impending 2014 budget.

Cano, imo, will explore free agency, and will likely sign somewhere else. So what options do you like for the team moving forward?

Thats tough, but I'm going with Cano. I may just be partial since hes already in pinstripes.

I would take Cano's production at second base over anyone's production in the OF. That being said, signing Hamilton does keep a steady ALLSTAR bat in the lineup in the event Cano walks.

the media there would eat him alive... could you imagine if he gave up dipping towards the end of a possible yankees title run?... would be epic.

120/6 would be fine by me. That'd lock him up til 37. He plays a solid 2nd base and swings a good bat. He's not getting anything over 7.

Hamilton is a head case. I don't wanna bank on him producing going forward. Yankees are looking 3-4 years down the road right now. Cano fits in those plans, Hamilton doesn't.

Well Cano won't get 7/8 so it is irrelevant

Hal has called an audible on the family legacy and, ultimately, it may result in a smarter, sleeker version than the Boss' model of win or destruction. Sensibly, as a businessman, Hal wants to pocket the near $50 million that would come in luxury tax and revenue savings by dropping payroll below $189 million by '14.
"I'm a finance geek," Hal said in spring training 2011. "I guess I always have been. That's my background; budgets matter and balance sheets matter. I just feel that if you do well on the player development side and you have a good farm system, you don't need a $220 million payroll. You can field every bit as good a team with young talent."
