NY Post: Yankees’ Cashman: ‘More work to do’
“We have more work to do,’’ said general manager Brian Cashman, who is looking for a right-handed hitting outfielder and somebody to absorb DH at-bats. “But a lot of the players who were substantial contributors over the last number of years have been January signs.’’
I’m starting to think the Yankees’ best option for a RH backup OF is Ronnier Mustelier. Then they can try and get the best available bat that will sign for one year to DH, be it the Shockmaster™ or Lance Berkman maybe? CAIRO would project Berkman to hit around .270/.383/.475 in 408 PA, which would be worth about 10 runs better than a replacement-level DH. Plus he can backup 1B and can probably play a pinch of RF if needed.
