    Yankees Would the Yanks and Willy Taveras fit?

    The Yankees need a CF. Willy Taveras was just non-tendered. Would these 2 be a good match? I really am on the fence on this one, and was wondering what anyone else thought. No rumors here, just total speculation.

    I think a healthy dose of speed could do the Yankees a lot of good. Taveras batting 9th would be a great fit. Cabrera and Willy could share CF duties.

    i actually kind of agree with you on that one. if the Yankees went out and signed Taveras, I would be kind of happy.

    What's worse? Finishing the year in the minors or being non-tendered?

    This is, I assume, assuming the Cameron deal doesn't happen?

    I'd absolutely love him as a backup, I'll say that much.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    What's the phrase? You can't steal first base.

    He'd make a great pinch runner/ D replacement, but other than that? Not so much.

    Please Please Please Please Im begging you for the sanity of EVERY Reds fan ANYONE sign him just to keep him away from Duhhhhsty Baker. He ends up in Cincy pitchers everywhere will rejoice that even with Votto hitting third theyre looking at worst 10 pitching 1st innings. I pray the Reds keep Duhhhsty away from instraments of his own demise away from him. But Im scared they are going to bang their head against a wall and sign him just to get a glossier Corey Patterson. And Reds fans will be left yet again wandering WTF is going through Duhhhsty's head besides the toothpick that apparently punctured his common sense and lineup making ability many years ago.
