For DH?
With Hit-deki Matsui moving out here, how about picking up OBP Jesus, Mr. Nick the Stick Johnson to come back and DH for us? His homer power has been down a bit since he hurt his wrist, but he still gets on base at a .400 clipe and might see his power numbers rise in NYS. It won't cost much, let's do it! Go Yanks!

I don't think they will consider a DH until LF becomes clarified, maybe SP too.
I would only have interest in Nick or any other non-Holliday option for one year.
clearly.
David DeJesus would be a nice addition.
He plays a good LF, under 30, LH and can bat 2nd.
Royals are interested in Gardner so build a package around him.
He was a 3.2 WAR player last season. By way of comparison, Damon was at 3.0 WAR. The difference is that DeJesus gives you a lot less offense but a lot more defense.
If the Royals want to price him as a one year option (which is what he would be), he might be worth considering, but I think they would probably want too much.
Yanks will have plenty of offense with ST opens up.
Pitching and defense wins championships.
Then why didn't the Braves of the '90s win more?
Because the other teams had BETTER pitching and defense.
Better pitching than Maddux, Smoltz, and Glavine?
The Yankees defense wasn't good this season. Their team UZR/150 was -4..
Offense is a very important component as well.
If you're the same Anon, I didn't say that I was against getting DeJesus, but I would rather have a better offensive player, like Holliday.
That's true about half the time.
I wonder is DeJesus would get some help from NYS.
Play with his hitting chart. His doubles and HRs are pulled to RF, but his flyouts seem to be to LF.
not exactly another Granderson. We should just scotchguard left and sign Holliday.

Kevin Towers is virtually good to go for his new job with the Yankees; there's just some red tape and professional courtesies involved. Towers will stay on the West Coast and serve as an adviser/special assignment scout, working for his pal Brian Cashman in a setting where he won't be construed as a threat (unlike the Mets, as Towers is very fond of Omar Minaya).
