Robinson Cano may be worth trading for the right YOUNG guy. There have been rumors of Cano and Melky for Matt Kemp of the Dodgers. The Yankees badly need a CF and Matt Kemp is a really good option. He is not a great outfielder yet; however, he is very young and reminds me of a young Derek Lee.
There are a number of alternatives the Yankees can consider:
1) Sign a first baseman and play Nick Swisher in CF - not a great idea because no 1B is worthwhile other than Teixeira and the Yankees don't want to pay him all that money.
2) Play Melky or Brett Gardner in CF - neither can hit, although I think Melky is a better player.
3) Wait to see if CC signs anywhere other than Milwaukee because rumor has it that Mike Cameron will be available if CC doesn't sign with the Brewers. The is a hell of a lot of strike outs from the outfield - Nady and Cameron!
What to do, what to do? That is why Brian Cashman gets paid the big bucks - unfortunately, he has kind of screwed up over the past 7 years!

Are talks really going on with the Dodgers?
