The Yankees will find an outfielder to replace Melky Cabrera, who is headed to the Braves in the Vazquez deal.
Welcome back, Johnny Damon? Not necessarily. The Yankees still might find Damon, Jason Bay and Matt Holliday too expensive.
But I guarantee you, their outfield next season will not be Curtis Granderson, Nick Swisher and Brett Gardner.
Can you imagine if you could put Moyer’s brain in Burnett’s head? You would have fewer tattoos, a higher pitching IQ and an ace. Instead, Burnett is what he is: the Lamar Odom of baseball, a player who fails to maximize awesome skills due to a lack of concentration and daily conviction.
Only dumb people get tattoos!
What magic wand would the Mets wave around to suddenly make all of Vazquez’s parts moving parts move correctly when he’s tossing? And what would the Mets give the Yankees that would make this worth it for them to just give up on him a friggin month into the season??
Meanwhile I’m waiting for someone to convince me that John Harper has good ideas.
