Keep matsui to DH, take the fantastic defense, keep melky or gardner around as the fourth OF, use the other as trade bait either for dejesus himself or someone else. If its melky that stays, he can fight it out with cameron and dejesus for an OF spot. hot hand plays, the odd man out is an above average fourth of I like this alot.

That said, given their production at C, 1B, 2B, SS 3RD, RF, and DH, do I think the Yankees could have on the World Series with Gardner and Cabrera in the OF. Yeah, I think it's possible. I don't think they'd they'd have lost 16 games in the standings (which is what stood between them qualifying for the WC and we all know the Postseason is unpredictable from there. So to summarize. - Carbera is NOT a 4th outfielder, which is what I was responding to. - All off teams, the Yanks could carry an average and below average CF and LF together and still be a factor for a title. - I agree, if an upgrade is available, you consider/pursue it, but it's not an imperative.

My plan - in this case - would be to sign Damon and Cameron, let Matsui walk and then have Damon DH with Melky in LF. I wasn't clear.

They are much better off getting Damon back and letting the kids battle for CF. Cameron wasn’t even good 5 yrs ago let alone now at 38yrs old.
