Way too much area to cover plus needs a better arm. I love him but eventually his options are 3b, 1b or DH Jeter in CF is not a good idea. Way too much area to cover plus needs a better arm.

AROD has won an MVP award as a SS and A 3B. I say move him to first NOW and let him win an MVP as a 1B as well. How Many players have won an MVP award at 3 different positions? I don't know that answer but would guess NONE. Then Sign Holliday for left field and CC Sabathia. Jeter to CF in a year or two. Id still like to see them trade Hughes and kennedy cabrera and Jackson for Hanley Ramirez and Olsen and move Jeter now. Oh and Id get crede to replace AROD at 3b.

As far as hughes goes its a toss up. if they can get something worth while then do it. if not just grin and bare all the injuries and inconsitincy that will follow i do agree with not putting jeter at first, BUT if they do plan on putting him there then why waste the money on a first baseman.

He's not that type of player. Firstbase is stereo-typed as a position for a big power hitting guy with limited range in the infield. Yes Jeter is losing his range at shortstop, but with a chance to sign a 20-something year old firstbaseman who hits for average and for power,why wouldnt you? Sign Tex. Now as far as pitching goes, signing Sabathia should be the main goal. With him on the roster, the rotation could potentially look like this ( in no particular order) Sabathia, Wang, Chamberlain, Hughes, possibly Pettite but Moose likely will retire. Hughes will eventually turn out to be a front of the line starter in my opinion. All he needs to do is be consistent instead of pitching shutouts one day and getting rocked the next. And who knows maybe Kennedy can get his act together. I think with young guys actually competing for spots next year they will perform better knowing that one slip up and they'll be sent down rather than basically guranteing 2 young guys rotation spots.

CC and Burnett are deffinetly players we could buy. if we can get both then consider trading Hughes AND Kennedy. if they can only get one then trade away kennedy in an effort to get someone to possibly play shortstop after jeter goes to first or throw in cano and get a more reliable/consistant second baseman . there is no point in siging texiera. if they want jeter to play first in the future then they need to keep it open. there are plenty of people on the roster that could fill the first base void until jeter takes it over. as for the pitching, i think its time to bite the bullet and spend the big bucks for pitchers.
