Torii Hunter in Pinstripes?

[BronXBombers51]

Johnny Damon said Friday that he would be willing to move to right field if the Yankees acquired Torii Hunter.
The Twins hold a $12 million option on Hunter for 2007, which may be difficult for the small-market team to fit into its budget. To his credit, Hunter declined to comment. Apr. 15 - 10:23 am et

Very cool of Damon of offer that, whether it happens or not. I also heard that Hunter is excited at the possibility of playing for a big market team, and said if he's going to stay with Minnesota, he's going to need them to commit to winning.

that would put sheff in the dh role...which would than force giambi to play 1b every day or so...which completely rules out andy phillips...i dont really like this trade to much

Damon in right?

not a pretty thought.

It wouldn't be a trade. It would be a FA signing next offseason. And Sheff probably won't even be on the team, thankfully.

Thankfully?

Thankfully?

Sheff is getting old, and they'd probably overpay. I love having him in the lineup, but I'll also be glad to see him go after this year.

It seems to me that the Yanks could really use this. I would much rather see Sheff in the DH role since I think he hustles only 70 % of the time. I like the thought of getting a gold glover in Center and moving a good centerfielder to right.

Damon's arm is too awful for RF. Matsui would be better suited there with Damon in the larger LF where his range would be better used.

I thought about that as well. Damon would be much better suited for LF but I'm not sure if Matsui for moving to RF.

Well that would be the only option (Matsui going to Right).
