A few smaller notes that might have slipped through the cracks today…
‧ Brian Cashman said once again that the Yankees, “traded for Curtis
Granderson to be our center fielder.” The Yankees don’t plan on moving him
to left field and starting Brett Gardner in center, but there is one scenario
in which that might happen. “That scenario would be only if Brett Gardner
proves he’s the best center fielder on our club,” Cashman said.
‧ Vazquez has now been traded five times. The Yankees were actively involved
in three of those trades, and they checked on Vazquez the other times he was
traded. Cashman said the Yankees talked to Arizona in 2005 and talked to the
White Sox in 2008, “but we just didn’t match up.”
‧ Something to keep in mind about Vazquez’s contract. “He projects as
maybe a Type-A free agent,” Cashman said. “So if we’re not in a position
to retain him, we’ll have the ability to secure draft picks. That was an
attractive side of it as well. There are a lot of different reasons, but
first and foremost, his ability to solidify the back of our rotation.”
‧ Asked if it was reasonable to assume either Joba Chamberlain or Phil
Hughes would be the setup man next season, Cashman acknowledged it’s a
possibility, but also threw Dave Robertson’s name in the mix.
‧ Why improve the rotation at the cost of the outfield? “Trying to
strengthen the rotation with quality pitching is harder to do than to find
someone to play left field,” Cashman siad. “Left field is an important part
of the team, but the left field market is a lot fuller than the starting
pitching market.”
