Sublime,
I'm just gonna put it in this thread, hopefully you read it.... you said cano and cabrerara straight up would only be a marginal deal for the yankees... explain this, because everything I looked at has MIGUEL as a top 5 hitter all-time for his age...

Look at Cano. He is a likely HOFer at 2nd base. Well in the sense that if he doesn't fall off the cliff or get injured. MCab is a 1st baseman. And a good one, but his numbers aren't the same at 1B.

your starting a team from scratch...you really think cano is that comparable to miguel?
... not to mention the yankees replacement level players are higher than average due to their blessed financial situation.. they can always sign an above average guy... so premier players are more valuable to them

Online,
Cabrera has NO DEFENSIVE VALUE. Cano has value by playing defense. Offense isn't everything you know. If Cano saves 1/4 a run per game on defense, that ends up being 40 runs over a season.
Not to mention that if Cabrera went to the Yankees, he would end up being a DH in a year or 2. NY could just keep Cano, and find a DH elsewhere. If Cabrera was awesome defensively, no one would argue w/ you.
