If the Yanks already didn't have a pretty good first basemen, YES. I realize it's not likely the Yanks will sign either of them I was just trying to make a point of me personally not wanting to see the Yanks sign Ortiz.
The main focus as it was last offseason for the yankees needs to be starting pitching...and possibly a new manager.
Yanks top two priorities need to be....
1. Sign CC to a contract extension, or else he will probably walk away from the Yanks and sign with Texas.
2. Sign CJ Wilson
Position by Position breakdown...
1st base...all set with Tex.
2nd base...I believe Cano is a FA but I think the Yanks will do everything in their power to resign him.
Shortstop...Jeter just signed a contract extension last offseason.
3rd base....A-Rod
Catcher...Posada is a FA, Yanks might let him walk which will disappoint me but I think they are all set with Jesus Montero and Russell Martin...depending on if the Yanks resign Martin...if not then Montero could become the everyday catcher with Cervelli backing him up.
DH...could be a by committee type situation.
LF...Gardner
CF...Granderson
RF...Swisher
So in the end, priorities #3 and #4 might be trying to find an everyday DH and filling the bench.
I think a rotation of CC Sabathia, CJ Wilson, Ivan Nova, Phil Hughes, AJ Burnett could be very solid.
