2015............

To many here the concerns will be the infield. 2B, SS, & 3B (assuming A-Rod is gone. So if the Yankees decide to go the FA route. Here IMO are the choices.....


2B = Asdrubel Cabrera. (29) Making 10M this season with Cleveland. A career 272 hitter, Can give you 15-20 HRs. Is a switch hitter & can also play SS.

3B = J.J. Hardy (32), GG, 260 career hitter. Good for 20-25 HRs & making 7M this season.

Jed Lowrie (31), Making 5.2M this season with Oakland. A switch hitter with some pop (15-20 HRs) & most importantly can play 2B, SS, & 3B

Hanley Ramirez (31) He would cost the Yankees the most. currently making 16M this year & will probably be looking for a Multi year contract (5 years +) at close to the 25M range. A 300 career hitter who can play both SS & 3B & can supply between 25-30 HRs per season.

Also at the hot corner (3B), Is Chase Headley (31) currently making 10.5M with the Padres. And finally The Giants Pablo Sandoval (28) making 8.2M this year & can also play 1B.

Something to think about.

It may not happen in 2015 but this team will need a slugger to lead the offense.

Oooppsss, methinks the Doy-yer's Guggenheim may throw even more money at Hanley, to keep him in Bums blue. Hanley and Gonzo are necessary just to keep Puig in line, ......the blithering little leaguer playing in MLB-L.A., yet is one exciting 5 tool player.

Yet how about Mike Trout at the age of 29? A Joisey Native, pinstripes would be a coming home gift to a trout mask replica...!!!
