The Angels might not resign 31 year old Chone Figgins and it has been talked about for a long time that he could wind up in pinstripes.This picture belongs to ESPN.com
The Yankees realize talent, and Chone Figgins would fill so many gaps.
Now you can rest Alex Rodriguez on curtain days, and still fill third base with a player who can give a lot of offensive production.
You can provide so much more speed in the outfield which has been weak at many points during the last few years.
If your going to lose Johnny Damon and that is your final decision then C. Figgins is a great signing.
Chone also hit .298 with 5 home runs 54 runs batted in while swiping 42 bases in the 2009 regular season.
The last key point of adding a player like this is that you would add a player who has already won a ring before.
For New York there are other options with the Red Sox LF Jason Bay becoming a free agent.
J. Bay would be another powerful right handed bat in the lineup as he clubbed 36 HR's in 2009 with 119 RBI.
When it comes to catching if you are going to pass on Jose Molina to be a backup then you can take another gamble on Ivan Rodriguez who would probably sign for a low price at this point in his career.
Sometimes a move like that can pay off late in the season, Ivan is a player who brings a lot to a team, and is all about winning.
One more free agent that stands out to me is 29 year old left hander Brett Myers who was 4-3 in 2009 with a 4.84 ERA.
B. Myers is another lefty that you can use in various roles, and that could help give more innings during a 162 game season.
The news is starting to pile up around Baseball it is going to be fun to watch who will sign with what team as the Yankees will start the 2010 season the defending champs.
