The Yankees and the Angels have discussed trading the Angels third basemen Alberto Callaspo before Wednesday's 4:00 pm ET trade deadline passes. Callaspo is in his age 30 season and is hitting .253/.323/.348 with five home runs. Callaspo is a switch hitter which the Yankees seem to covet and is fairly cheap making only $4,100,000 in 2013 (we would only pay the prorated amount obviously) and a guaranteed $4,875,000 in 2014 before hitting free agency for the first time. With Alex Rodriguez possibly out for at least this season and next Callaspo could be a decent fill in player at third for the Yanks.
I currently live in Kansas City and when Callaspo played here he was a .300 hitter and a fan favorite. Also, he's not too old, so he will be able to play the field more than Michael Young. I'd love to see him acquired.
ReplyDeleteI disagree we need power but I do like the fact he is a switch hitter and young
