Guy is against the Teixeira signing. His eight-year plan is to play Posada/Swisher at 1b for two years, then play Jeter at 1b for the the three years after that, and then play ARod at 1b for the three years after that.

That way, the Yankees wouldn't have had to sign Teixeira.


Says Jeter doesn't have the offensive power to play corner outfield. Which ignores the fact that 1b is also traditionally a power position, and easier to play than corner outfield.

Also ignores the fact that Teixeira is better defensively than any of these other options.

Also ignores the fact that the American League uses a designated hitter, so the Yankees could still find at-bats for the presumably decrepit veteran ballplayers.


The above suggestion was from a talk show host on WFAN, not an intoxicated caller.
