They have Higashioka, Weemes, Romine & Montero in the farm system and look like they have Gary Sanchez locked up. Nor do I see a Anders-type first baseman (7 more years of Teixeira). I am looking at an outfielder or left handed pitcher, because they have depth issues there. Except if Green falls, they could reach and grab him.
