Purge time! WOOT! Lets do it!

- Trade Arod, eat his contract, get a few 3B prospects and have Scott Brosius train them.

- Bring Paulie O'Neil back as bench coach and have him show Swisher how to rally the team and get on guys.

- Trade Melky, Berroa, and Damon for 1 decent bullpen pitcher. Damon's contract is up anyway and if anyone thinks Melky's April stats will only get better I refer them to the last 3 seasons.

- Pena = Permanent utilities infielder until Jeter retires or Cano bats .222 again and we trade him.

- Trade Marte, Rameriz, Veras for a utility outfielder.

- Bring up guys dominating in the minors and put them in the bullpen.

- Make Joba Mo's setup man and eventual successor like we wanted him to be. I wanna see Joba celebrating on the mound after striking out a douche with a 101 MPH fastball again!

- Phil Hughes = 5th starter.

- Stop signing big money free agents in the offseason.

- Periodically throw balls at Pettites back until he learns to look over his shoulder from time to time.

- Create a new position for Berroa in between Home plate and 3rd base to protect stealing home.

- Have Jeter play both shortstop and 3rd base.

- Turn Yankees Stadium into a state of the art casino.

- Move the Yankees to a new ballpark that oddly resembles the one in "The Sandlot."

- Make Rivera a starter. He'll last longer than Wang.
