1) Gary Sanchez- Despite his early struggles in double-A, Sanchez remains the Yankees best raw talent.  With his struggles one would have to consider he is still only 20 years old and has plenty of time to develop with the signing of Brian McCann(if he doesn't get t...

]]> 0 Yankees Top 10 Outfield Solutions           The Yankees will have tough decisions in the upcoming years with their outfield.  Nick Swisher will more than likely be gone next year especially after the signing of Andre Eithiers' massive contract.  Swisher will probably also be in that range- 5 years 60-70 million.  Curtis Granderson is another one whose contract will be up after the 2013 season and I expect him to be in the 5-6 year range and $20 million a year.&nbs...

]]> 0 More trade rumors.... The Yankees have yet to fill a vacant DH spot with about a month until spring training begins.  There have been rumors about a Billy Butler Phil Hughes swap.  I could tell you that is ridiculous.  The Yankees have Texiera locked up for 5 more years and Butler is not exactly versatile.  This doesn't mean a trade with the Royals isn't imminent and doesn't involve Phil Hughes.  Just look back to the trade last season where everyone thought the Rangers got Heath Bell w...

There has been a lot of talk lately about Nick swisher being traded to the Braves.  That will not happen, but something that may happen is he will be traded to the Indians.  The Indians have outfield depth problems.  Shin-Soo-Choo and Grady Sizemore has injury problems and Swisher would shore up their lineup.  Clevand may go in this direction if they traded a pitcher because they do have great pitching depth.  I could see the Yankees trading Swisher and maybe Austi...
