		<description>FWIW, according to Pete Abe, Cody Ransom gets the call if they need an infielder.</description>

		<description>It’s also as stupid as the White Sox thinking they can play Griffey everyday in CF.
------------
Given Griffey&#039;s injury risk, sure it&#039;s stupid to play him in CF.

But players move between positions all the time.  Rodriguez may not be Ozzie Smith, or Omar Vizquel or Khalil Greene at the position, but I see no reason why he can&#039;t be a competent shortstop.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s no reason to believe that A-Rod, given his size, age, and the FIVE YEARS that he&#039;s been off the position, can play SS again at the big league level.

		<description>And, don’t even start about shifting A-Rod to short…that will never happen
--------
Why not?</description>

		<description>If the Yankees have someone on the 15-day (Posada?) and he&#039;s going to be out for the rest of the year, there&#039;s no wasted move in putting them on the 60-day.  You can have as many as you want on the 60-day.

Then again, I don&#039;t know if Posada is already on the 60?  But, you could move someone like Bruney to the 60, just to buy time, before he&#039;s ready to pitch again.</description>

		<description>perhaps they couldve done that, but for a player who didnt seem to figure in the organizations long term plans, why waste a move like that?

he had a slick glove, but couldnt hit. are we really going to sit here and complain or make a big deal about this?</description>

		<description>Heck, if you had to clear a spot on the 40, then just move someone to the 60-day DL, no?

I think he meant for the off-season more than right now.  The Yankees have a lot of people they need to protect this winter and the 60-day dl doesn&#039;t help then.</description>
