Don't worry, the second part of my Yankee Stadium tribute is coming, there are just a lot of photos to collect. So here is my postseason plan. We first have acquisition considerations.
CC Sabathia. Amazing, overpowering stuff. Pretty good control. Southpaw. But I'm reconsidering the hefty lefty as the Yanks' future. He doesn't seem to hold up well under playoff pressure.

He's only been to two postseasons, but he failed epically in each one. Being a Yankees fan, this is a disturbing sign. The Yankees' whole season always ideally ends with winning the World Series, and if your ace can't pitch on that level, what's a manager to do? Bench him? Keep him on a tight leash? How do you get any value out of that?

Derek Lowe. 36 year old righty sinkerballer. Threw a no-hitter with the Red Sox. His track record would indicate he is a good playoff pitcher, which is one of the main things I look at when considering whether or not the Yankees should acquire someone. A short contract seems like an almost zero downside deal.

AJ Burnett. Won 18 games, still relatively young, overpowering stuff, threw a no-hitter (with 10 walks) for the Marlins. Huge injury risk, occasional control problems too. He's never played in the postseason. The verdict: Big risk, potentially bigger rewards.

Yes, Cliff Lee. He pitched pitched fantastically all year for an awful team. Maybe not technically an offseason acquisition, but Lee may well become a hot commodity come trade season next year. If he keeps pitching well and the Indians keep failing on an epic scale, he'll be moved for the same reason Sabathia went to the Brewers. The Yankees failed to grab CC or Johan Santana when they were available, and that didn't pay off, so expect when another good pitcher is on the block, they'll move. It was only one good year, though, so another big risk with possibly bigger rewards.

Hahaha, yes, the ManRam I so love to hate could be helping open up the new Yankee Stadium next year. A happy Manny is one of the best players in baseball, and he and A-Rod would be a deadly duo in the lineup. Plus, he could back up A-Rod when playoff time comes around, He could make up for A-Rod's failures and then some. Yes, he would look ridiculous without his facial hair and he would be annoying, but there's no denying he would be a great player. Plus, he could smear it in the Red Sox' face. We all thought it would be weird to see Johnny Damon in the 'stripes...

Mark Teixeira. He's been part of the Yankees' talks for quite some time, and expect that drone to become a roar this offseason. Played in his first postseason this year, did pretty well. He has an excellent bat, glove, and let's face it: the guy looks ridiculous in an Angels uniform. He's waaay better and younger than Giambi, and we have the money for him, so I say go for it.
I have another proposition as well, one that I don't think anyone has suggested yet:

Carl Crawford. Contract expires this year, and the Rays may be facing the same problem the Marlins did both times they went to the World Series: they simply don't have enough money to foster a dynasty. Crawford may be asking for more money, and the Yankees can pay. Crawford, yearly, can provide 20 homers, 100 RBIs, and 50 steals. Could be a great move...
Lastly, I have an acquisition proposition that may well shock you to no end.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Jake The Snake Peavy. The Padres seem to be commencing rebuild mode, so young Peavy is ace they can't afford. If the Yankees can pay the price...
That wraps it up for my acquisitions edition. If you have any other suggestions for the Yanks, tell me here.
Thank you and good night.
