Obviously the Yankees are struggling right now. Losing 2 of 3 to the Mets and 3 of 4 to AL East rivals Red Sox and Rays. Teixeira continues to struggle and the hot bats of Cano, Gardner and Cervelli have cooled. What would I do? Heres is what I would do.
DFA:
Randy Winn
Chan Ho Park
Demote:
Boone Logan
Call Up:
Jesus Montero
Jonathan Albaladejo
Ivan Nova
Nova and Albaladejo have pitched very well in AAA. I know Nova is a starter but with a win now mindset he may be just what the bullpen needs. Hopefully With Montero we can catch lightening in a bottle for our slumping offense.
The New lineup
SS Derek Jeter
RF Nick Swisher
2B Robinson Cano
3B Alex Rodriguez
1B Mark Teixeira
DH Jesus Montero
C Francisco Cervelli
LF Kevin Russo
CF Brett Gardner
Then After the injuries
SS Derek Jeter
CF Curtis Granderson
2B Robinson Cano
3B Alex Rodriquez
1B Mark Teixeira
C/DH Posada/Montero/Cervelli
DH/C Posada/Montero/Cervelli
RF Nick Swisher
LF Brett Gardner
Demote Russo or Pena when Granderson is activated and then Moehler When Posada is back.
A 3 man rotation of Posada, Cervelli and Montero will keep all our catchers fresh. Of course you play your hottest players the most while the 3rd guy sits. If Montero isnt getting enough at bats when Posada is back of course you demote him.
