explanation... not only is rowand easily obtainable but he is a better hitter and has more range than melky for the next few years... also we are talking about getting miguel cabrera...and he's REAL GOOD

To be fair, i'm not sure how long of a contract rowand is looking for, but I'm sure they can overpay a little per year and knock of a year or two (would be optimal for them)

Rowand has to be demanding a long term deal (does he want to be a free agent at age 34?) after his career outlier season. If the Yankees bite they will end up with another Damon half way through it. Andruw Jones is a better hitter and fielder, and may be willing to take a short term, even one year deal to re-establish his market value. He's also a prime candidate for a huge bounce back season.
