YANKEES ADD INFIELD STABILITY


The Yanks have been busy all year, with wins and ways to improve. I like it, I like it a lot. It's much better than last season.  Too bad Boone's still manager.  Anyway... here's some news. The Yankees have acquired JD Davis.

The Sporting News writes:

"The New York Yankees acquired infielder J.D. Davis and cash considerations in a trade with the Oakland Athletics, the team announced Sunday.

In exchange for Davis, the Yankees sent infielder Jordan Groshans, a 24-year-old with a .590 OPS in 50 games at the Double-A and Triple-A levels with the Yankees this season...

Davis was designated for assignment by the Athletics on June 17, but the Yankees clearly wanted to make a move to acquire the veteran.

A corner infielder, Davis appeared in 39 games with the Athletics this season. He has a .236 average with four home runs, five RBI, nine walks..."

Now this is hardly a major move, but this will at least provide some stability with the idea of Rizzo out and Ben Rice at first and DJ LeMahieu is hardly lighting it up, Cabrera around when needed and Jon Berti on the 60 day IL. Love the Yankee Depth Chart... it's awesome. So, what expect to see here is hopefully a new team and new energy from Davis and now the Yankees have more options. 

Nothing major but could prove to be a nice piece.  We shall see.
