Nice find Jill. And I could be wrong here, maybe one of the others could confirm but I also believe that if they sign any of the two prior to June that the Yankees would have to give up a draft pick. Like I said i'm not 100% sure.
...yes, they would have to surrender a draft pick. And because of roster rules they have to be careful of what players they add/subtract. ...I don't see them adding a full time 1Bman because of the possibility of if/when Tex returns.
I'm 100% positive once the trade deadline comes and teams don't need to forfeit a pick, there will be a feeding frenzy for both Morales and Drew... and I'm sure the Yankees will be in on 1 or both of them...
...that's what rick and I were talking about. ...but if Morales and Drew hold out that far into the season they'll still be out 1/2 a year's salary that they can't get back.
Keep in mind though Steve that even though I'm sure they're both staying in shape neither of them had the benefit of spring training so it may take a while before they get in game shape.
Not necessarily... they have been outbid before... and they have been frugal lately... so they very well could want either of them and not get one or both
If you had a choice Steve, which one of the two (Drew or Morales) would you rather see in pinstripes?

Thanks, but I looked them up before I responded... Morales has a better career average and fewer errors... hence why I said... either way, not really impressed with either
