Terrible, damn.

Cashman on Pettitte just now: "Same thing: he has chosen not to play. There's nothing new. Andy Pettitte is not in play."

Personally, I'm glad. He had a great career, but he's not the same Andy he was from years ago. He served the team well but it was definitely time to move on.

Not officially:

Cashman: “It’s a misunderstanding”
Scratch that.

Just got off the phone with Brian Cashman who said The Daily News story about Andy Pettitte’s decision is not accurate. ”It’s a misunderstanding,” Cashman said.

This was Cashman’s quote, as relayed by The Daily News: “I don’t think he’s determined if he’s officially finished or not, but he’s chosen at this stage at least not to start in 2011.”

Cashman said you could basically substitute the word “pitch” for the word “start.” What Cashman meant was, at this stage, Pettitte is choosing not to pitch in 2011, but the Yankees are — as they’ve been all winter — waiting for Pettitte to let them know something official. He’s leaning toward retirement, and he’ll let them know if that situation changes.

“Nothing new or different,” Cashman said. “Exactly what I’ve been saying for the past month or two months.”

There is only one thing for Cashman and the Yankees to do now, and that is go get King Felix and do it quickly.

What makes Yankee Fans believe that they can just "go get" King Felix? Who says he is for trade?

Who says the Yankees have enough to get him? Jesus MOntero would only be a SMALL piece to that puzzle to get it done if he were for trade.

I'd still rather have Andy than Mitre or most other in house options

+1. Yankee fans need to chill. The Yankees will do what is smart and right. Sure getting Felix is great but, we probably don't have enough for him. We have to stop thinking that we can get whoever we want.

The Yanks have enough to get him. Yes, Montero would be a small piece, but they have what it takes. I am sure the Mariners believe they will be going somewhere this season. They almost pulled the trigger on the Cliff Lee deal when the Yanks came knocking. The Yanks are going to surprise someone before ST. Watch.

I am really getting sick of Andy. The Yankees have paid him rediculous amounts of money over the last 15 years and he can't decide. I know family is important, but give me a break. This shouldn't be that hard. If he can't decide, we don't need him move on. No money in June or July.

Mariners sure, we'll trade Felix:

Phil Hughes, Montero, Betances, Banelos, Nunez and Cashman's first born. Felix isn't Cliff Lee, he is better, younger and cheaper.

That is probably what the Mariners would ask for, and would come close to getting that much for him as well.
