Baseball’s Savior

It looks like one of the cornerstones of the late 90s Yankees championship teams will be sticking around after all. Bernie Williams was offered arbitration, and I’m assuming he’s going to accept it. So his days roaming centerfield might not be over.

I kind of like the move. I know he’s been pretty poor out on the field as of late, and he’s lost some of his swing, but it’s better then overpaying for Damon and losing a draft pick (Damon was offered arbitration as well). If they can work a platoon of sorts to maybe get Williams off the field late in the game (maybe trade for Nook Logan in Detroit) with a defensive specialist, it might just be able to work if Williams can find his swing next season.
