From Joel Sherman:
The Yanks were privately a lot more optimistic by Sunday that Xavier Nady could avoid Tommy John surgery and that he might be able to return in June and form a righty-lefty DH platoon with Hideki Matsui. Of course, that would mean the Yanks were carrying two players who did not play the field, which hurts roster construction. Also, that is assuming that Matsui's fragile knees could last.
The right-lefty DH platoon sounds good although having two players who can't play defense on the roster at same time is not. It also takes away some AB's from Jorge Posada who's already coming up big this season.
