I feel like we talk about him every offseason as an option at 1B but Cashman has said his focus is going to get more high OBP guys and if we cant get Teixeira or a long term option I'd rather get a guy like Casey and focus on other areas. It's not worth trying to fit a square peg in a round hole I'd rather not overpay for a guy that isnt the right guy.

Honestly if we don't get Tex which I don't think we will the other options out there aren't great.

Here is what you would be looking at.

Rich Aurilia (37)
Hank Blalock (28) - $6.2MM club option for '09 with a $0.25MM buyout
Sean Casey (34)
Tony Clark (37)
Carlos Delgado (37) - $12MM club option for '09 with a $4MM buyout
Nomar Garciaparra (35)
Jason Giambi (38) - $22MM club option for '09 with a $5MM buyout
Eric Hinske (31)
Doug Mientkiewicz (35)
Kevin Millar (37)
Richie Sexson (34)
Mark Teixeira (29)
Daryle Ward (34)

You could maybe take a stab at Hinske. Casey is Mienky with a little more onbase and bat. You could go young and give Miranda a shot or you could experiment and maybe move Matsui over there but I dought he would go for a change. The only other option is a trade or brining back Giambi and that isn't going to happen. I could live without a big first basemen as long as we get Manny in this lineup.

Johnny Damon is basically Sean Casey with speed. Throw him at 1B if thats the route you wanna go.
