WHY IT'S THE QUIET BEFORE THE YANKEES STORM...MAYBE

Andrew Marchand's piece today asks Is this all there is?hinting that the Yankees have signed Freddy Garcia and that looks to be all the Yankees are willing to do this off season. I don't believe it, but sure, it's possible.

For me, I see the Yankees getting 1 pitcher, it's like a must. Why in the world would Hal and Cashman hint toward that as soon as the post season was over in the Bronx this year? Read HERE.

Marchand, whom I have tremendous respect for writes this about the pitching market:

"On the pitching side, the Yankees don't really like the prices vs. talent of any of the starters. Could they make a huge splash with Yu Darvish? That seems possible, even with their Kei Igawa experience. There is almost no way they are signing CJ Wilson. Mark Buehrle may be better suited for the National League, in their opinion. Edwin Jackson is no better than what they have. Roy Oswalt has a back issue that concerns them. Hiroki Kuroda likes life in Los Angeles or Japan."

But where's the trade talk part of Marchand's piece? There is no mention of all the others guys that are on the Yankees radar... Gio Gonzalez for 1. John Danks for another. How come he failed to mention that? Maybe he's under the impression that the Yankees really won't part with the likes of Austin Romine and Dellin Betances, that's fine, but he's the baseball insider, shouldn't he offer more than just a piece asking a simple question without breaking it down of who's out there?

I know Marchand is right about this off season being quiet, but I am telling you, the Yankees will need to pick up a pitcher, 1 pitcher to help out the rotation this season, if not Yankeeland will erupt! I'm a believer that the Yankees need pitching to win, they need support for CC no doubt...read WHY THERE NEEDS TO BE SUPPORT FOR CC MONSTER.I understand the expense of a CJ Wilson (Wilson's meeting with the Marlins as we speak) or a Yu Darvish or perhaps outfielder Yoennis Cespedes (Detroit Free Press says he's working out for the Tigers) but what the hell have we become, the Pirates?
