If there was a weak point in the World Championship Yankees team it was their lack of depth in the rotation. Today they fixed that by trading Melky Cabrera for Javier Vazquez. Joe Ponanski points out that Vazquez may be the perfect fourth starter. The trade gives the Yankees an answer to the John Lackey signing by the Red Sox and now puts the pressure back on Theo. The Yanks coudl now fill the hole in the outfield with another good hitter like Bay or Holliday or possibly bring Damon back whose swing is perfect for the new Yankee Stadium. You have to give Cashman high marks for what he has done this offseason, although the job is much easier when you have an unlimited supply of blank checks to play with.
