Get This Guy
As much as the Yanks have talked about pitching and their budget this offseason, currently their O needs to most help. As of today we have Melky in left and Juan Miranda (who's injured) at DH. Until proven otherwise, that gives us a batting order that is only 7 deep. Make no mistake, parting ways with Matsui might have been wise, but we lost a 131 OPS+ hitter and that's significant. Johnny Damon is coming off a very good year, but he slowed down late and wants three years. What's the point of buying all that decline? Holliday is in his prime and the only competition for him is a 5 year offer from the Cards. Let's just do it then sign Nick Johnson for a year to scotchguard the O. C'mon, Yanks.

I was on the Halladay bandwagon, now I'm on the Holliday bandwagon. He will solidify our offense for several years and we can always look for pitching help at the trade deadline. Maybe Joba and Phil will surprise and make 2010 their year to dominate.
This is a no brainer move, and I find it hard to believe that Cash would not be interested at all. Damon is on the decline, while Holliday is on the incline.
LOL ... that offense (Holliday/Johnson )would knock me unconscious... my brain wouldn't be able to comprehend the floodgates that would open up with that O. It would certainly be in contention for GOAT offense. This is my ideal scenario as well, but IDK if they would go after Johnson as well if they land Holliday. We can only hope.
I kind of hope the Sox would land Gonzo so it would lead us to get Holliday.
