I am not sure what to make of this report by Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com yet. I mean, I've heard the same things about Shin-Soo Choo, but the Yankees have plenty of outfielders, Alfonso Soriano, Ichiro Suzuki, Vernon Wells and Brett Gardner. Plus they have the kids like Slade Heathcott and Zoilo Almonte. Lord knows that when it comes to the outfield... we're good.
But here's the report anyway... "Multiple sources say the Yankees do like Choo very much. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman declined comment abut Choo specifically but noted that outfield isn't their top priority for a team that has many needs. The Yankees have quite the puzzle, as a team that had a $230-million payroll but has several big salaries coming off the books and a stated desire to get below $189 million on the payroll."
Again, we'll read Heyman's report and we wait. Let's also not forget that the Bombers are also looking at Carlos Beltran. That's just a lot of bats and a crowded outfield... and some of ours may in fact already be better than Beltran and Choo... but we shall see. Look, as far as Choo is concerned, they like his on-base ability and I get it.
One thing is for sure though, the Yankees are willing and able to make offers and field a better club than they did in 2013. I appreciate that being a fan and all.
We'll stay tuned to this one...
Finally, let me say this... if you're a guy or gal who runs a blog and you want to comment on BYB, comment. One thing I would prefer you didn't do is promote yourself. We don't do that to any of you guys, please don't do it to us. It's a respect thing... and it's the first rule of Fight Club. You know what I mean...
Thanks!
