I'd give them Austin Jackson and Zach McAllister, not sure what it would take to get DeJesus, maybe a few pitchers, maybe Wilkins de la Rosa and Hairo Heredia.

I'm not completely ruling him out, but if we do sign him (I would only sign him to a 1 year deal) then we have part ways with Damon. Matsui can't play the OF, and I don't want Damon to be our every day LFer. I don't think the Yankees are interested in bringing him back. If we bring Matsui back then we can't he's our every day DH, he can't play the OF.

Cashman said Matsui is only a designated hitter. “He may very well be an outfielder for somebody else,” Cashman said. For the Yankees, though, Matsui is strictly a DH.

Trade cano

I don't care what you do after that.

Meh, Guy can't hustle to save his life and makes too many boneheaded plays in the field from lack of trying. My least favorite yankee ever. The Kerry Rhodes of the yankees.

MLB SECOND BASEMEN RANKINGS:

AVG: Cano (1st)
HITS: Cano (1st)
SLG: Cano (2nd)
2B: Cano (2nd)
SLG: Cano (2nd)
OPS: Cano (3rd)
HR: Cano (6th)


All this with stellar defense. You have to be crazy to trade this guy in his prime. You're not going to replace him with someone better. Last time I checked Chase Utley isn't available.

Cano fielded the ball perfectly and made a great throw to Tex to win the World Series. The guy is clutch, he stays.

Talented =! good. Calling Robinson Cano's defense stellar is a joke. Guy ****s up on routine ground balls.

For Adam Dunn? Absolutely. I don't think Austin Jackson is going to be that good. Strikes out too much, doesn't walk enough, no power. Relies on unsustainable BABIP. Unfortunately the Nationals probably see the same thing I see.

True.

I saw him jack a grand slam against the Sox last year in ST and I was sold on him. Haven't dug into the actual stats much.

As do every other baseball player. It happens. If you thin Cano is a bad defensive payer then you're blind. You're just looking for something to complain about. My only issue with Cano is that he needs to come up bigger in big spots, but other than that, you can count the second basemen in his league on 1 hand.

He hit 4 home runs all last year.

Thats my biggest complaint about Cano too. I don't know the numbers, but he might be the least clutch player of all time. He hits .300 every year and goes .120 with runners in scoring position. Retarded. He's gotta be a head case.

I don't remember big spots being a big problem with him before this year, do you?
