Leo's Thought Of The Day
Yankees LoHudA few names to keep in mind as we prepare for tomorrow’s opening of the Winter Meetings:
Eric Chavez
The third baseman’s agent says Chavez wants to play again, and obviously the Yankees could use a backup third baseman who can hit right-handers. If they can’t find one guy to backup at third and short, could the combination of Chavez and Eduardo Nunez do the job? Is the Yankees need for a third baseman too great to risk another year of injury-prone Chavez?
Nate Schierholtz
The left-swinging outfielder has been non-tendered by the Phillies, and Buster Olney says the Yankees are in the mix. Schierholtz alone won’t solve the right field situation — the past few years he’s hit right-handers, but hasn’t hit lefties at all — but he could be a significant part of a platoon.
Stephen Drew
This isn’t the first time the Yankees have been linked to Drew as solution to their infield depth problem. Of course, Drew is a shortstop, not a utility man. He’s never played another position in the big leagues, so his role in New York might be as a fairly high-profile backup/insurance plan behind Derek Jeter.

I agree with Leo that Hughes will be dealt, it makes alot of sense. When you look at the players salaries for 2013 and know they don't want to exceed 189 mil, you see that it's the only way.
ARod 29. Jeter 17. Kuroda 15. Logan 2.8. Gardner 2.8. Phelps .6
Teix. 23.125. Grandy 15. Pett. 12. Hughes 5.7. Robertson 2.7. Ardsma .5
CC. 23. Cano 15. Mo. 10. Joba. 1.8. Nunez .628 Nova .626
With Whiteside/Romine/Cervelli/Stewart fighting it out for the 2 catching spots totaling 1.2 mil.
Bringing back Chavez and Ibanez at 1mil a piece and Ichiro at probably 8 mil( there was a rumor of 1yr/5 mil--I doubt that)
Would leave us at 189mil but with only 23 players. So in order to get to 25, we need to deal someone. Dealing Hughes and putting Eppley and Rapada at .600 ea. Would give us about 4.5 mil to use on our 25th player whether it be Drew or Victorino on a back laden contract.
We'd go with CC,Kuroda,Pettitte,Phelps and Nova in the rotation if we don't bring in some guys to fight for those last 2 spots i.e. Lannan,Karstens,Wang,Jurrjens,Pelfrey or Lowe.
Hey guys, we need to stay on topic. None of this Letterman and Zeppelin stuff.
