From the NY Post 12/16..by Joel Sherman.<br />***<br />4. Get familiar with the name Dean Anna. The Yankees made a minor deal recently with San Diego for the Triple-A infielder and — if the Yankees are going cheap at second — he could become part of the competition. But this also underscores how weak the Yankees farm system is. Anna was available because San Diego has so many good youngsters that the lefty hitter wasn’t going to make it onto the 40-man roster, so the Padres proactively traded him to a team with a weak 40-man roster.<br /><br />And, just for the record, the Yankees do not view Eduardo Nunez as anything more than an emergency possibility at second. They wonder about his toughness/fragility after his slow healing in 2013, and likely are not anxious to have him learn a position in which his back will be to the runner on double-play pivots.<br />***patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008211991899947734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-17515395612694705082013-12-17T00:02:43.269-05:002013-12-17T00:02:43.269-05:00Thomas Twasp......MIA.

That entertaining as long<br />as the great Mariano is standing in the shadows. But, not for a front line closer.<br />I really think he will choke, or come down with a severe case of stage fright.<br /><br />Nothing he has shown me, makes me think otherwise. Name him your closer, he has earned his chance.<br />But, if you can get a Papelbon, to replace him if he fails....then by all means explore it<br /><br />Daniel***********Dominic Brown, where did that come from ?
