1. How much and how long for Cliff Lee?
2. How much and how long for Derek Jeter? Does he stay at SS?
3. Do we sign Carl Crawford? Werth?
4. Who is our starting catcher?

My thoughts:
1. None. I don't think we need him in NY, and would rather not overpay for a guy already in his thirties and likely to begin the decline soon.
2. I'd prefer a 2 year deal, but wouldn't be too upset if the Yanks give in and hand him a third. On the money, a perfect world would give him 10 per but I see him probably getting his 15 or so per. He will need to stay at SS for at least one more season as well, I believe.
3. Nope, no need for either. I like the OF the way we currently see it.
4. Jorge will demand starts, with Cervelli also handling a fair amount of games. Not going to be a pretty situation behind the plate, but Jorge's bat still demands to be in the lineup and hes going to want to catch.
