I'm leaning toward option 2. What do you think? And with Sabathia opting out I think a piece or two would be needed if we don't have him in 2012. So it just seems more likely we'll trade for a pitcher or two.

I think Sabathia would be an idiot to opt out of his contract, personally. I also think that, if anything, the Yankees are going to be riding their offense. With the addition of Montero (if he breaks camp, and he should as a DH), the Yankees will be fine.

I don't think any team in the East, sans the BoSox, can compete with them. I think the teams they should be worried about are the Twins, ChiSox, Rangers and A's, who are all wild card contenders if they don't win their division. The AL is looking pretty stacked at the moment.
