[洋基] Could Crawford be another Tex?

Two years ago, the Yankees were definitely NOT in on Mark Teixeira.
Definitely not. They wanted pitching, pitching, pitching and after signing CC
Sabathia and A.J. Burnett, Brian Cashman was supposed to be done.

Except he wasn’t. He swooped in, completed a recruitment that he’d started
much earlier in the winter and landed Teixeira, snagging him away from the
Red Sox who thought – once again – they were on the verge of landing a big
time player only to see him head to New York.

Could the same thing happen with Carl Crawford?

Although the Yankees are (again) focusing on pitching winter, they have
reached out to Crawford’s agent. Most people think Crawford will end up in
either Anaheim or – and here we go again – Boston, and I have to admit I
think Anaheim, in particular, is a great fit. The Angels have a history of
paying top dollar for outfielders and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see
them pull off a big-money deal with Crawford pretty quickly. But I also wouldn
’t be shocked if the Yankees were in play for Crawford, too.

Look, we all know that Crawford is a great player. The question is, do the
Yankees need him to put themselves in position to the World Series? I don’t
think so. I’ll be the first to admit that I was wrong about Brett Gardner
before last season, saying I didn’t believe he was going to be a solid
everyday outfielder; obviously I was way off on that.

And while Crawford is absolutely a better player than Gardner, I’m not so
sure he’s $18-20 million better. The Yankees have a lot of guys on their
team who are going to be overpaid – starting with Derek Jeter, who will
surely be overpaid whatever contract he signs. Gardner, for what he gives, is
one of those players that is underpaid (Phil Hughes is another). Having
players like is an important offset for the big-money stars. In my opinion,
replacing Gardner with Crawford is an upgrade but not one that’s going to be
worth the price.

Could it happen? I don’t think it’s likely. But as we learned with
Teixeira, when it comes to the Yankees you can never say never.
