Even after reaching an agreement with free agent Matt Diaz,
the New York Yankees still have interest in signing another outfielder and are
continuing to target Scott Hairston, according to Kevin Kernan of The New York
Post.
The Yankees still have an interest in signing another
outfielder and remain interested in Scott Hairston.
At this point the Yankees have a projected starting outfield
that includes Brett Gardner, Curtis Granderson and Ichiro Suzuki. All three hit
from the left side, leading many to believe the Yankees were in the market for
a right-handed-hitting outfielder.
Diaz fits that bill, but his signing apparently hasn’t
stopped the club’s pursuit of Hairston. The 32-year-old hit .263/.299/.504 with
25 doubles, 20 home runs and eight stolen bases in 10 attempts last season for
the New York Mets. He owns a career OPS of .751 over nine seasons at the major
league level.

December 27, 2012
Last winter, the cold winds of free agency blew onto Brian Cashman's doorstep a black-edged, tarot card of death named Jason Nix. (Much in the way he found Mike Diaz yesterday.) Hardly anyone noticed when Cashman signed Nix off the scrap heap. The guy had Scranton/Wilkes Barre written on his forehead in Sharpie. After all, everybody knew Eduardo Nunez was our utility infielder...

The current poll on this site focuses on who will be our catcher in 2013.Given the choices, I think we should go without one. I mean, seriously, with those choices there is no choice.Stick another old guy in the outfield and just deal with wild pitches when men are on base. Maybe Andruw Jones will be freed from his contract in Japan, and he can come back as a short left center...
