Eric Chavez did not show up for the postseason, but he was a good backup infielder in 2012. He will be 35 years old going into the 2013 season but, the fact that he managed to stay healthy for most of 2012 makes me want to take a chance on him for another year.Derek Jeter isn't going anywhere, but you have to wonder if he will ever again put together the season he had in 2012.Casey McGehee: What was that?Jayson Nix is a very good defensive player and can lay down a bunt. Sorry, Joe Girardi, the team does need bunters.The Yankees need to find a way to get Nunez comfortable in the field, because they cannot do without his bat.I crossed out Alex Rodriguez's name but, not because of his production at the plate or in the field.

Will Alex Rodriguez Be Ready for 2013?
Over the past couple of years, Alex Rodriguez has been a disappointment for the New York Yankees.

Report: Girardi spared A-Rod's feelings
It's no secret that Alex Rodriguez struggled mightily throughout the 2012 postseason, but the common refrain was that at least he was saying the right things and acting like a good teammate amid all the attention. At least, of course, until that little incident where A-Rod apparently hit on a fan behind the Yankees' dugout, which called into question his focus and intensity...
