    I want to be the first to predict that the yanks get berkman and not dunn. houston just flipped anthony gose (acquired from philly in oswalt deal) for brett wallace. Wallace is a top prospect at 1B, which is where berkman plays. The stros will want to get wallace up and playing immediately...and berkman is a FA after the year. I think the yanks could get berkman on the cheap here...ie a mid-level prospect.

    would be a win-win for the yanks. get berkman, who is better than dunn...and give up less than the ridiculous proposals that DC has thrown out there.

    The day Johnson got hurt I mentioned Berkman but kind of ruled it out because of how much left he would have on his contract. His numbers are down this year but if all it would take is C prospect or two, I would not mind.

    Astros are discussing Berkman deals. Sounds like you are right, Fixer.

    I thought Wallace was a third baseman?

    He was, Baseball-Reference has him splitting time between 1B and DH this year though.

    Plus I've been reading Adam Dunn doesn't want to DH, so I can see Berkman having more of a chance of being a Yankee.

    Sherman says the Rays are the front runner to land Dunn, that is pretty scary.

    That is very true, haha. Especially in the middle of that lineup.

    I also read the Angels could be shedding some of their veterans.

    who do you think the yanks would be interested in? Bringing back matsui would be pretty funny , abreu?

    Scratch abreu, he's under contract next year.

    I guess Matsui, though that'd be ironic since all he can do is probably DH and they wanted to free it up for a rotating DH, at least before signing Nick Johnson.

    Yeah, could work but any offensive player they get would be strictly a dh at this point. Matsui is a thought, doubt it will happen though.

    Neily, I don't think the cyst is a huge deal. I think I read it has been nagging him since 2006. I would imagine girardi sees that they have a 8 game lead in the loss column for the playoffs and does not want to push him too much.
