Baseball’s Savior

This isn’t a huge deal, but Nomar Garciapara looks like he’s close to signing a one year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. And apparantly it looks like he’s going to play first base for them.

So that leaves the Yankees without a first baseman, unless you count Jason Giambi at the spot, which I don’t. Might be time for Steinbrenner to pull of that big deal to help fill the hole. Not that the Yankees are lacking in offense or anything. Mitch Jones had a solid season down in AAA Columbus (27 homeruns, but he struck out 174 times and he led the Eastern League in strikeouts and homeruns the year before). Maybe they’ll let him have a shot, and in the process, take a stab at Adam Dunn’s single season strikeout record.
