Should the Yanks go after Andruw Jones
The Dodgers have reworked Jones contract and he will only be due 5 million in 2009, then will be a free agent in 2010. Should the Yankees trade for him or wait for him to be released and sign him?
He will be 32 this season. He has had some really great years as a centerfielder. He has won gold gloves playing centerfield. Is he overrated? Is he on the quick decline of his career? Would New York revitalize his career?
When he is right, he is a very good right handed bat. The Yankees would not have to give up much for a trade. He would be cheaper than Cameron.
I lean towards taking a chance on him but then I have always thought he is overrated. He never hits for average (.259 career BA), strikes out a lot like Cameron and will make the great play in centerfield but is not solid.
A while ago I heard Aaron Rowands name thrown around. Now that guy can cover some ground and is a gamer. It would take more to trade for him but I have read the Giants are shopping him.
So, who should battle for centerfield in spring training? Melky vs. Gardner? Cameron? Jones? Rowand?
