I think Gardner’s trade bait. Winn hits lefthanded well but needs a platoon since he awful right handed. How about a Gardner for Brendon Harris trade. Harris could learn to play lf in a part time platoon and he’d be a great infield back up at short, third, and second. His contract is cheap, not much more than Gardners, is an upstate New York kid, has some pop in his bat and balances out our too left handed lineup. Possible?

My concern is that our team that just won its first world series in 9 years has replaced 3 starters, 2 of which played a significant role in that victory, with 3 guys who are at best a productivity wash but unproven in the Bronx…to me getting Vasquez is what may make this off season a plus…johnson’s health and granderson’s LH splits add risk but our piching should be better

Johnson replacing Matsui = downgrade
Granderson replacing Damon = upgrade
Winn replacing Cabrera = even

Never thought I say it but I’m gonna miss Damin, he grew on me. That being said he wasn’t gonna play 100 games this year. He barely stayed healthy in his contract year. None if this matters as long as we pick up Crawford at the trade deadline!!!

Yeah but we’re talking offense, and Johnson’s taking Damon’s spot in the order.

Good for Cash and the Yankees for trying to show a little bit of financial restraint, and not throwing 8 million dollars blindly at Damon. Randy Winn will be a fine, veteran OF, that can fill in at all 3 OF positions. He has some speed, and if he can throw the ball at all, he has a better arm than Damon.

The Yankees wanted to be younger and more athletic in 2010; welcome to the Bronx, Randy Winn and Nick Johnson. Yay!
