Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News thinks the Yankees may target Mark DeRosa to fill their vacancy in left field.
Buster Olney had a similar idea last week, and that was before the Yanks got rid of Melky Cabrera. DeRosa, 34, hit .250/.319/.433 with 23 homers, 23 doubles and 78 RBI this past season between the Indians and Cardinals. His ability to play third base would help Alex Rodriguez gain extra rest or find time at DH and he will come with a cheaper price tag than Matt Holliday or Jason Bay.

DeRosa does not help the Yankees get younger or more athletic.

from the Boston Herald
It remains unlikely, but still within the realm of possibility, that either Matt Holliday or Jason Bay could wind up falling into the Red Sox' laps. With the Yankees still having at least one corner outfield vacancy and able to create another if they wanted, neither team was ready last night to declare it was done shopping, especially with Bay and Holliday unsigned.

If Holliday gets signed by the Yankees instead of Damon (both are Boras clients, right) wouldn't Damon be very angry?

so we pretty much going to end up with a light hitting LFer from our system and Drunky McDrunkington at 3rd, then?

I'm going to go ahead and be as pessimistic as possible about this and hope I'm surprised.

I was actually optimistic heading into the offseason on the Holliday front but now have returned to reality.
