Eric Chavez signs with Arizona

Hmm. Jeff Keppinger also signed with the White Sox

Who the hell is going to play 3B for us?

Buzz is he's about to go home and reunite with Francona in Cleveland. Makes too much sense. He's from Ohio and loves Francona.

Could #Yankees lose on Ibanez too? Source says #Mariners, #Rangers, #Phillies all have expressed interest.

The Yankees never made an offer to Jeff Keppinger.
So no offer was made to Keppinger, Chavez, or Martin.

Steinbrenners have become tight wads.... Losing Chavez for $3MM/1yr is beyond cheap.... we spend over $100k on season tix for the Yanks, may have to rethink that.

Underreported story, but there is essentially a salary cap in baseball starting next year. Yankees need to be at $189 million to be under under it.

I can't think of a worst option at 3B than Mark Reynolds.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/pl...eynoma01.shtml

He proved to be a solid 1B last year, but he's a butcher at 3B. He's led baseball in strikeouts 4 of the last 6 years.. He's a career .235 hitter, who only gets on baseball at a .332 clip. He hits home runs, that's it. If you like the season Granderson had at the plate last season, you'll love Reynolds.

He's hit 221 the last 2 years. Not even great power last year. Not the fielder Granderson is, not the power either. A true mistake hitter that any good pitcher will get out.
