YANKEE OUTFIELDERS COULD OPEN DOOR FOR SOX ON JAYSON WERTH, CARL CRAWFORD
Mon, 09/27/2010 - 9:27am By Alex Speier

NEW YORK – The two Yankees players who started the rally that effectively
ended the Red Sox’ 2010 season may have a great deal to do with what happens
to the Sox in the coming offseason.

In the bottom of the 10th inning, with the two teams tied, 3-3, it was Curtis
Granderson and Brett Gardner who set in motion the game-winning rally that
allowed the Yankees to put away the Sox’ last uprising in the pennant race.

Granderson – notorious for his struggles against left-handed pitchers –
 yanked a Hideki Okajima fastball through the right side of the infield for a
hit. Gardner followed with a well-placed bunt down the first-base line,
employing his blazing speed to beat Victor Martinez’ throw to first base.
When the catcher’s throw glanced off Gardner’s shoulder, Granderson was
able to advance to third, putting runners on the corners with no outs and
making the Yankees’ victory all but inevitable.

The emergence of those two outfielders in 2010 – Gardner all year,
Granderson in the second half – has reshaped the Yankees, both this year and
perhaps into the offseason. Their performances could have a great deal to do
with what happens to the Red Sox this coming offseason.

Outfielders Carl Crawford and Jayson Werth represent the prize position
players of the free-agent class. The Yankees had been widely expected to
spend liberally in order to acquire the services of one of those players.

Yet given the skill sets of left fielder Gardner, center fielder Granderson
and right fielder Nick Swisher, the Yankees may well exercise restraint in
any exploration of a deal for an outfielder.

A nine-figure contract for Cliff Lee is a very real possibility. Given the
shape of the current Yankees’ rotation, it’s not difficult to figure out
why pitching will be their offseason priority. But it would appear
increasingly unlikely that the team will go to such lengths for a corner
outfielder, even players such as Werth and Crawford who can impact the game
both offensively and defensively, in no small part because they do not need
to do so.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman, asked whether he was comfortable with the offensive
production he received – and will receive going forward – from his current
outfield of Granderson, Gardner and Swisher, did not hesitate.

“Oh, yeah. It’s a great defensive outfield, too,” said Cashman. “And
Gardner and Swish along with [Robinson] Cano really offset the slow start by
[Mark] Teixeira, the unexpected dip in [Derek] Jeter’s performance as well
as Alex [Rodriguez] being in and out of the lineup. Those guys have carried
the club in many ways.”

Swisher earned an All-Star berth. He is now hitting .288/.360/.512/.872 with
28 homers and 88 RBI. Granderson started slowly, then was sidelined by
injuries, but is enjoying a strong finishing kick (he has eight homers and an
OPS over 1.000 in September) to bring his season totals to
.251/.326/.469/.795 with 23 homers.

Gardner, meanwhile, has emerged into a valuable weapon, with excellent
on-base skills and tremendous speed that impacts the Yankees both on the
bases and in the outfield. He is hitting .276/.382/.376/.758 with 42 steals,
with the 26-year-old exceeding the Yankees’ expectations of what he might do
in an everyday role. His OBP nearly matches that of Werth (.385) and exceeds
Crawford’s (.360).

“We always felt that we’ve been fighting the industry [on the perception of
Gardner],” said Cashman. “We said, ‘This guy can be a center fielder for
the Yankees one day.’ People would scoff at that. And then the last few
years, we always felt that he was Jacoby Ellsbury without the power and
without the experience.
“It seemed like people were like, ‘That’s not what we’re seeing.’ He
started to prove people wrong,” Cashman added.

The Yankees have gotten a .355 OBP (2nd in the AL, 3rd in the majors) and
.794 OPS (3rd, 7th) from their outfielders. They believe that the current
starting trio can sustain its production going forward.

“Granderson is what he is. He is kind of what he expected. He missed a
month, and his numbers are very good,” said Cashman. “Gardner, I think, has
a chance to be with us in that position for a long time. Swish, he’s been
consistent every year except for one [2008 with the White Sox, which led to
his availability to the Yankees as a buy-low trade target].”

The Yankees will be operating from a position of need with regard to their
pitching this offseason. The same won’t necessarily be the case for their
outfield, particularly given that they have contractual control over all
three of their starters.

Swisher is signed for $9 million in 2011 with an $10.25 million option for
2012. Granderson’s contract calls for him to make $18.25 million for the
next two years, with a 2013 option for $13 million. Gardner won’t be
arbitration eligible until 2012, and he will remain under club control
through 2014.

It would be foolish, of course, to count the Yankees out of any free agent
scenario. That lesson was reinforced after the 2008 season, when New York was
thought to have spent all of its offseason capital on CC Sabathia and A.J.
Burnett, only to find a spare $180 million sitting around for Mark Teixeira.

Still, if the Yankees feel comfortable with what they have in Swisher,
Gardner and Granderson, and do not feel compelled to raise the ante on Werth
or Crawford, then it would change the landscape for other teams – including
the Sox – who might be interested in their services.

我們家很窮的  今年冬天要省著用
