Winter Meetings
Why are the Yankees even talking about Shea Hillenbrand???? If they are thinking of signing him why not just keep Phillips who will be cheaper and hungrier. Oh yeah, he also won’t get in a fight with the manager.
I still think Cash is looking to get Tex from the Rangers. Melky, Sanchez, Stevie White and maybe another prospect for Tex? Then sign Tex to a contract extension? He is a gold glove 1B, switch hitter. One drawback is he strikes out a lot but maybe Donnie can help him with that.
I don’t think the Yanks should bite on Zito or Schmidt. I rather see them go with Moose, Wang, Unit, Igawa and a young guy. I do not want to see them saddled with another bad pitching contract. The proof is you have to develop these guys (Hughes, Clippard, Kartsens, etc.) Signing pitchers to big inflated contracts usually is not a great deal. There are exceptions like Moose but he is the exception.
