Should The New York Yankees Sign Andruw Jones?
“,”body”:” In a word, no. It Is High… and Yaros will disagree with me, and both utilize the same key philosophy: There’s nothing to lose. Both call the signing a \”no brainer,\” as he’d be coming at a league minimum after the Dodgers bought him out. But we don’t need him. We really don’t. There’s no reason to jump after fading (faded?) stars just because there’s \”nothing\” to lose. Andruw has no work ethic whatsoever, and his anemic hitting last season was worse than Melky Cabrera’s. I’m not a fan of Melky, and I think Brett Gardner is just a placeholder for Austin Jackson (eventually), but both are better stopgaps at this point than Andruw. He’s old. He stinks. He has a bad attitude. So he’s cheap. Big deal. We already have too many outfielders, and there’s no reason to bring in more. Yes, we did bring in Sidney Ponson last year despite his troubled ways. But Ponson was necessary. We were desperate for pitching. We aren’t desperate for outfield depth, not with Melky, Gardner, Xavie
