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

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

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.

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.
