Left handed hitting leftfielders who can't field. Add to the mix a 23 year old Austin Jackson who after 5 full minor league seasons should be ready and there is no place at the inn for both Matsui and Damon. I would keep Damon who can be put in the field in an emergency and let Matsui walk. It's important to keep in mind the Yankees are going to have to start reducing Posada's work load behind the plate so his DH opportunities will need to go up leaving less and lees of a need for two full time DH's.

Nick Johnson is a free agent and will likely be available for not much. His power has diminished but he is still an on-base machine. He's young and will likely be cheap.

I ask this because he has a career OPS of .773. Jacoby Ellsbury has a career OPS of .753, and most people on this blog think he's overrated. What does that make Crawford? You know what he is - Alex Rios with speed. Check their career numbers. What would you pay for Carl Crawford? I ask this because he has a career OPS of .773.
