Yankees Won't Bring In 'Big Name Outfielder"

Cashman says, and I quote- "It won't be a big-name situation," he said. "I can promise you that."

So I guess he is ruling out Holliday and Bay. I don't understand why. They traded away Melky and Austin Jackson. We pretty much don't have a left fielder right now, and the Granderson really isn't that good. The Yankees need to sign an outfielder. I don't understand why they wont.

 

They are going to sign Bay

 

bay is one of the smallest names in the league

 

I hope they don't sign Bay, I'm not much of a fan of him. He doesn't have that great of an arm in the OF and he's not that great of a hitter.

That being said, if he can hit 36 HRs in Fenway with basically no protection around him in the lineup, I'd be shocked if he didn't hit 40+ at Yankee Stadium, especially given the protection he'd have around him in that lineup.

 

They still might sign Johnny Damon.
