With Melky Cabrera gone, GM Brian Cashman doesn't see 'big piece' in left
field for New York Yankees

The Yankees may have solidified their rotation with Tuesday's trade for
Javier Vazquez, but Melky Cabrera's departure leaves a hole in left field.
The two top free agents on the market are left fielders, but based on their
price tags, don't expect the Yankees to make a play for Matt Holliday or
Jason Bay.
"I will continue to look at any remaining piece, but it won't be a big
piece," Brian Cashman said. "Any speculation about a high-end player who has
big ability and dollars attached on a large scale would be inappropriate."
The Yankees have stated several times that they plan to open the season with
a payroll lower than it was last year on Opening Day, meaning they would need
to come in under $201 million. The Bombers have roughly $198 million
committed in player contracts for 2010, and while they could move some
players such as Chad Gaudin or Sergio Mitre to free up a couple million
dollars here or there, the likelihood of them making a big splash for a left
fielder is slim.
"I do have a number that we're working under," Cashman said. "We will be at
that number and it will be less than last year. It's as simple as that."
Cabrera's departure also seemingly opens the door for Johnny Damon to return,
but a source with knowledge of the Yankees' thinking said the club is not
interested in retaining Damon.
Although Cabrera was a popular player who came through with huge hits last
season, the Yankees weren't thrilled about the prospect of paying him more
than $3 million this year and $6 million in 2011, which is what he will
likely receive in arbitration. Dealing Cabrera for Vazquez proved to be a
no-brainer for Cashman, whose options on the pitching market were few.
"Trying to strengthen the rotation with quality pitching is harder to do than
trying to find someone to play left field," Cashman said. "The left field
market is a lot fuller than the starting pitching market."
Replacing Cabrera's production - he hit .274 with 13 homers and 68 RBI last
season - won't be too difficult, as the Yankees will keep searching for his
replacement in the No.9 spot in the batting order.
Bergen Catholic product Mark DeRosa is one of the attractive options on the
free-agent market, while Marlon Byrd, Xavier Nady and Jermaine Dye are also
available.
Byrd, a power-speed player who is 32 and can play all three outfield
positions, would appear to be a good fit, although some inside the Yankees
front office have been enamored with DeRosa for his versatility. DeRosa is
said to be sitting on a two-year, $12million offer from the Giants to play
third base, but the Yankees are looking for someone in the $4 million range.
Should Cashman decide that the free-agent options are too expensive, Brett
Gardner could be given an opportunity to earn a starting job.
"Clearly he's now in the mix for an everyday role," Cashman said.
因為剩下4M可以花，所以不會追Matt Holliday或Jason Bay
可能會考慮Mark DeRosa、Marlon Byrd、Xavier Nady、Jermaine Dye
然後如果FA太貴的話偶們的左外野手就是腿弟啦
