I like the general idea, but if I had to look at Kevin Millar everyday in pinstripes, the lining of my esophagus would start deteriorating because I'd be puking daily. I did like him as a player on the Marlins, but I thought his act on Boston was tiresome with the constant different looks (hey, look at me! I have a new style beard and I shaved my mullet!) and silly phrases. I guess what needs to happen is to find a scrapper to play rightfield if Sheffield is allowed to walk and obviously the next catcher should be more of a defensive minded, smaller name guy. Every other spot is basically tied up with long-term contracts. |

It's so f*cking true, these guys are a bunch of rich spoiled f*cks! They sip their mimosas and eat their fresh fruit and croissants! They don't wake up and pound a beer and eat some bacon and sausage with a side of eggs! f*ck these clowns. Tinman is scared out there, if he only had a heart! |

I'd love Jonny Gomes, he'd fit the roll well but the Rays ain't trading him! |

Looking at the free agent list, Trot Nixon actually would be a fit here. Not sure we'd go that direction though. |

I don't know if the Yankees need another DH, but I do love Gomes' bat and youth. He's not a good fielder though. The Yankees need guys who play hard and play tough D. |

Sheffield is a loafter in right so at this point I don't mind playing Gomes out there, not that it's happening. |

Trot is actually the type that would fit well, you're right. I don't like his constant nagging injuries, but he's a scrapper and plays the position of need. I wouldn't want any kind of big money thrown at him though and no more than 2-3 years. As an aside, when did he switch to the double ear flapped helmet? Did he take it over when Bellhorn left? |

If I was going the Nixon route, I probably wouldn't half ass it, and go for Drew. He's a better version with the same problem, but much more upside |

Then you have to trade players and pay $11 million a year to a guy who will be hurt more than Nixon. |

Nixon won't be cheap, considering he's making like 8 or 9 already, and Drew has an out in his contract per someone here |

It looks like he does have an out, but there's no way in hell he'd take it. Nobody else would give him more than $11 million a year for another three.
I'd be ok with 3 years, $21 million to Trot with absolutely no no-trade clauses. |
