    They are definitely two bright spots for the future but as I've said, we'll have to see what they do with Bird when Teixeira comes back next year.

    Tex & Bird could alter at DH & First if they could find a way to get rid of A-hole.

    I think there will be plenty of ABs available for Bird next season between the 1B and DH positions.

    Vic I love your optimism & I hope you're right but I don't know where the'll come from since A-Rod will end up with well over 500 ABs & Teixeira was on his way with well over 500 ABs also.

    I don't see neither Tex or Arod holding up enough for that and over a course of 162 games it wouldn't make sense to do so. Arod clearly hit a wall by being pushed this year and while this year's injury to Tex was freakish he has also shown durability issues.

    Hitting a wall Vic is an understatement concerning A-Rod,

    April / May = 281
    June / July = 282
    Aug / Sept = 181

    That's why I easily see a situation where Arod and Bird share the DH role and then Bird also gets his fair share of game at 1B to spell Tex.

    At this point, every other day off, would enable #13 to stay afloat. He does IMO look tired, especially when He runs, not to confuse his speed without considering His age, and surgeries on Both Hips. Yep, he could use every other day off next year. But if Tex falls again to injury, which he over-prone too. Then what, play Bird daily, bring up Judge, let Beltran and #13 alternate as DH...???

    ...needless to say, the Yanx need to make a lot of decisions and/or moves this off season in order to rectify this "poorly constructed team".

    Sadly though Ron as long as Cashman is pulling the strings I don't see a whole lot happening during the off season. JMO.

    I'd look to package Gardner in a deal and if somebody is willing take what you can get.

    Gardner & Headley for a solid starter would work for me.

    You would likely have to eat some salary if it's even possible to move them but in the name of helping the team moving forward that's a pill that needs to be swallowed.

    Drew was only signed for this season & honestly I don't see any other team picking him up.

    This is what I mean with moving a Gardner if you can. Drew means $5 million off the books. If somebody will take Gardner even if you eat a little salary that more money off the books. Then maybe in the off season see what the starter market looks like. Let the kids play left field.
