Of all these players, which ones are you most interested in, or concerned about, now, in terms of what their production will be in 2012 – and why?
Hmmm…Swisher was the 6th most valuable Yankee this season, by RAA.
Granderson and Robertson are the “most above their heads” and will regress some. Ayala’s a fluke and won’t repeat. I hope he’s not brought back.
Yanks will need comebacks from Tex, A-Rod and for Montero to break through to hole their ground on offense. They’ll need Nova healthy, and one or two of the other younguns’ to replace Colon. Garcia will drop off some.
Chamberlain and Soriano should contribute more. So should Hughes. Burnett? Who the heck knows at this point.
Okay, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. He had another lousy year and he’ll be turning 38 next June, so we can expect even less from him in 2012. Nonetheless Girardi will be pencilling him in as his shortstop and leadoff/number 2 hitter as many as 130 times (figuring he’ll miss about a month with various and sundry ailments).
For me, the biggest names on the list are Granderson, Nova, Hughes and Burnett. You cannot expect Granderson and Nova to repeat their production in 2012. And, Hughes needs to be better next year. Lastly, it would be very helpful if Burnett didn’t suck as much as he did in 2010 and 2011. But, I suspect that he will.
And, of course, there’s A-Rod and Tex. If they continue to go backwards, it would be ugly.
@ Steve L.:
Granderson, I can see falling back, Nova, it’s possible that he’ll perform similar to what he did this past season.
I don’t think Hughes will start as poorly as he did last season. Burnett probably will.
More likely than not, Posada’s gone. Interesting to see what Jeter’ll do next season leading off @ short. Nuñez will return as a supersub, I guess.
I wonder how the catching situation will shake out. Will Martin be back? Will Cervelli recover? Are Romine and Montero ready?
This is very unlikely, I know. But if the Yanks could swap Tex to Baltimore for Markakis, put Swisher at first (I’ve read that scouts say he could win a gold glove) and Montero as DH. Or one of Swisher/Montero for a pitcher….not happening in large part to Angelos, but if the Yanks sent some cash, Tex would be a draw in Baltimore….
@ KPOcala:
Teix has a no trade clause, and I’d doubt he’d waive it to go to Baltimore. Stranger things have happened, though.
@ KPOcala:
@ Raf:
Not only that but the Yankees would not be better off with Markakis over Teixeira. Markakis barely hits enough to play RF.
@ MJ Recanati: I agree with you, but Markakis is a very good all around baseball player, losing Tex would be a money dump. I really am a fan of Tex, but he looks like he so wants to play for his salary that he’s too geeked when it comes crunch time. And he’s gotten away from being a line drive hitter, the team would benefit (if my plan doesn’t happen, which of course it won’t) if he could return to 20-30 homers w/ a lot of doubles. He’s obviously fallen into that right field swing, w/ too much of an upper-cut swing…. Really, my bigger idea is that Cashman put’s together a creative, out of the box trade that blows everyone away….
@ Raf: They game him a no-trade clause?! Wow, I didn’t realize that. Maybe Steve is right about Cashman, or the “Men behind the curtain….” It did seem like a great deal at the time, though. And of course we’d be gnashing our teeth had he gone to Boston, although the A-Gone trade may haunt the Sox for years……
@ KPOcala:
Teix isn’t the problem.

Why would the Orioles want to take on Teixeira’s salary and why would the Yankees want to pay for Teixeira to play within the division, getting back the far inferior Markakis in return? It’s a lose-lose for the Yanks any way you cut it.

I don’t see why. Gonzalez is a good player and he had a great year. They got him on the cheap as it is (in terms of prospect cost).
