NYY 只能讓他當替補, 可是有進季後賽的機會
NYM 可以給他先發, 不過不太可能進季後賽
Hairston Choosing Between Yankees, Mets
By Steve Adams [January 7, 2013 at 6:20pm CST]
It appears unlikely that Scott Hairston will be leaving New York this
offseason, but that doesn't mean he won't change teams. ESPN New York's
Wallace Matthews spoke to Hairston's agent Casey Close and was told that
Hairston is in ongoing talks with the Yankees and Mets. Close told Matthews
that his client will likely make a decision in "a matter of days."
Hairston would likely have to settle for a fourth outfielder's role with the
Yankees, in which he'd back up Ichiro Suzuki and Brett Gardner while
providing manager Joe Girardi with a lethal weapon against left-handed
pitching off the bench. The 32-year-old batted .286/.317/.550 against
southpaws in 2012 and boasts a career line of .276/.325/.500 against
opposite-handed pitching.
The Mets, on the other hand, could use Hairston every day, but don't offer
the same hope of reaching the postseason in 2013 having finished 74-88 in
2012 and traded away Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey. General manager Sandy
Alderson told Matthews' colleague Adam Rubin that the team might not make
another outfield addition, but did concede that Hairston is one of the
remaining "meaningful" free agents the team will consider signing. A trade
for an outfielder is unlikely, according to the GM.
Hairston is known to be seeking a multiyear deal, which could pose a problem
for the Yankees, as Matthews points out. The team has shied away from
multiyear commitments all offseason as they look to get under the $189MM
luxury tax threshold by 2014.
