Between Super Bowl parties and giving my hands and wrists a rest after Prospect Week, it was relatively quiet around AB4AR this weekend. Yankeeland responded by staying similarly quiet, but there was one bit of news that most everyone touched on on Saturday. The KC Royals DFA'd utility man Emilio Bonifacio and a good chunk of the Yankosphere reacted like this:
Alright, maybe it wasn't that enthusiastic, but really? Is that how bad the Yankee infield situation is? Bad enough that we're going to try to talk ourselves into Emilio Bonifacio being a viable option? I guess he's no worse than the Nunezes or Annas of the world, but how much better is he going to be? Dude's a below-average hitter with next to no power, an average at best defensive player, and he comes with a $3.5 million price tag for this season. Do the Yankees need infield help that badly that it's worth paying that money and trading a player to get him? I don't think so. I guess it couldn't hurt to bring him to camp and let him compete for a job, but that's about as far as I'd be willing to go in terms of evaluating the guy.
