WAIT, NOW WE NEED IAN KINSLER AT SECOND?

I just found this humorous and wanted to point it out to you all.

As you know, you read about Hal Steinbrenner liking the direction the Yankees were going... they're getting younger and that's great for us fans because we've been wanting this for a long time. Read HAL'S EXCITED ABOUT THE YOUNG PLAYERS. YOU SHOULD BE TOO for more.

Now comes an article from YESNetwork.com that asks this question... Should the Yankees explore a trade for Detroit Tigers 2B Ian Kinsler?

Really... REALLY?

First of all, we already have Dustin Ackley and Rob Refsnyder. Plus, we have a nice utility in Brendan Ryan if we need alittle more defense.  The Yankee world just shot down a rumor this week about a much younger Starlin Castro.  Now we're going after Kinsler?  Kinsler is 33.  I thought we were getting younger? Hey, here's an idea, why don't we just platoon our way through the season with what we have and go after some pitching?

Anyway, YESNetwork.com writes: "One player they didn't deal away, however, is second baseman Ian Kinsler, who has quietly been one of the American League's most talented infielders over the last 10 seasons.

Kinsler, 33, has been named an All-Star four times, coincidentally in every even-numbered year since 2008. This pattern would indicate he's due for another one in 2016, but should the Yankees try to bring him to New York via trade?..

...In addition to his team-friendly contract, Kinsler has proven to be an offensive force at the second base position for a full decade in the Majors, as well as a stolen base threat - something the Yankees would surely welcome. Kinsler is a lifetime .276 hitter that has hit at least 10 homers and 50 RBI in all but one season. One year ago, Kinsler led all Major Leaguers with 726 plate appearances, and topped 30 home runs in 2009 and 2011."

While they make a good argument, I ask all of you... would you look to take in Ian Kinsler?  Comment.
