NIGHT STALKER Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 The Yankees are exploring a possible bid for free-agent second baseman Orlando Hudson, and are intrigued enough by Hudson's talent and reputation as an excellent clubhouse influence to bat around the possibilities of trading talented young second baseman Robinson Cano or even signing Hudson with the idea of moving him to centerfield. The Yankees' interest in Hudson could incite a crosstown battle with the Mets, who are weighing the idea of Hudson replacing Luis Castillo at second base for them.

piney Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 If they can get back a high quality arm for Cano...then I say do it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Shame Cano had such a down year last season or his trade value would be high enough to easily justify a top of the rotation SP in return. Still might be able to pry one away from somebody but it'll be a tougher sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergen Jet Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I would be utterly against this move. Cano is 25 and has been very productive... Hudson plays a nice second base but will be 31 and while he is a nice little clutch hitter Cano has potential to be an elite hitting middle infielder IMO. Only way you can do this if you can secure a legit arm for Cano and even then I would have to think twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or some other young stud pitcher..I think it makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need an everyday CF who can hit. Cano hits well enough, and his defense may be better in the OF. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Isn't he pretty slow for CF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI.com 2nd base is high on the Mets winter needs list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
