Comments on: Does Granderson make sense for the Yankees? http://riveraveblues.com/2009/11/does-granderson-make-sense-for-the-yankees-19985/ A New York Yankees Blog Wed, 15 Feb 2012 07:19:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bernie http://riveraveblues.com/2009/11/does-granderson-make-sense-for-the-yankees-19985/#comment-688248 Bernie Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:21:40 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=19985#comment-688248 I guess the speculation is the Yanks will keep Damon and let Matsui go. I hope it's the other way around. Damon is a pro at the plate but he's such a liability in lf. I know Mat has no position anymore but he hits lefties as well as anyone. Is Cerveli replacing Molina? I almost hope they keep Molina to break in Montero. I guess the speculation is the Yanks will keep Damon and let Matsui go. I hope it’s the other way around.

There just aren't many center fielders with that kind of offensive potential still around. I'm hesitant to include Jackson, but I think you have to consider it with you can do it with maybe an IPK/Z-Mac Mel/Bruney and gardner. With the yankees resources an expectations, I doubt our rotation will have room for more than one back-end/middle quality starter. We've stockpiled these guys to some degree, and insurance is nice but i'd rather put them to good use Granderson’s power and the fact that he can play center field about as well as anyone on the team now makes him a very valuable commodity.

There isnt a glaring hole at CF that requires giving up any of our top prospects. Focus on the backend of the rotation and the bullpen. Unless Cash can pull of a swisher deal, I don't see why the yanks would want granderson. Personally, I do not see why the Yanks would even think about granderson.

That's probably less than 120 games. They can't not play him if he is performing. Boras would have the commish's office on speed dial. I don’t know. That’s probably less than 120 games.

A-Jax should not be a part of this discussion, especially at a time where outfield is the spot that could use some depth and youth going forward at the major league level and throughout the entire organization.
