[...] the most part we’ve focused on free agent acquisitions, mainly because we’ve discussed trade options and haven’t found much. But things change as Spring Training nears. The Yankees acquired Javy [...]

I would say are there any options for us . Yes there is .. namely Swisher (LF)Melky (RF) Gardner (CF) bring in A. Jackson sign X.Nady to incentive contract and see where the RAYs sit before the trading deadline if we are doing well then dont Fix it .. if we are NOT doing well with that idea .. then if the RAYS are going down . Carl Crawford will probably be available .. that would Fit !! and for a few years as well.

Nobody mentions Marlon Byrd, not a terrible option and to me not far away from Dejesus without the prospects cost.

All in all I vouch for Cameron over Damon and Matsui as DH.

A-Jax is your OF injury insurance.

Please Mr. Brian Cashman, sign Mike Cameron and stop this DeJesus, Willingham and Hawpe nonsense. Cameron makes so much to the Yankees that it’s not even fair to the others. He will not cost prospects, is a CF with above average to great defense, good power, and I suspect won’t demand multiple years. But, of course, I’m biased. I have a man crush on Mike Cameron. Just love him.

The idea that the Yankees would want a rotating DH is a narrative of Mike Francesa.

No way they’d do that.

Adam Dunn. Make it happen

I say get Cameron, and try to trade with Washington for Dunn. The Nats need a catcher (we have about 30 in the minors), would need a 1B if they let Dunn go (Miranda is blocked in NY anyway), a middle infielder (we have a log jam on the 40 man) and some pitching (another position of strength in the Yankees high-minors). Would Miranda and Russo get it done? Maybe add a decent pitching prospect?

Cameron’s offense would be a step down from JD, but his defense is so much better, and Dunn would offset the offensive difference. Dunn and Cameron would more than make up for the loss of JD and Godzilla. And Dunn, for all of his defensive shortcomings, is still capable of playing out there if the need arises. I can’t imagine Washington would be too upset to have an extra $10MM to spend this off-season.

Plus, both would probably be here on 1 year deals.
