Cano's "replacement"? Maybe A-Rod's?

[Dr. Detfink]

Definitely Cano's replacement. Chavez or Reynolds will be A-Rod's...

very good utility guy, i like this move if it gets done.

Like Ellsbury, I'll really like it if Cano come back. Put Johnson or Reynolds at 3rd depending on what pitching hand they're against.

I'll have to take back the things I said about the Yankees. They are pulling their heads out of their asses now.

Still sucks they passed on so many Cuban\other international FA's. That would seem a natural for them. Replenish young talent (of which they have none), spend money that doesn't count against the "cap" for luxury tax.

Looks like this will our starting 2b now

[hatnlvr]

time to fill out the roster with Cano leaving

Alfonso Soriano back to 2b??

Alfonso Soriano back to 2b??

Gotta bring in Infante.

At some point, they have to address pitching. Right now, the rotation is CC, Kuroda, Nova, Phelps, and...Warren? The bullpen needs a lot of work as well.
