With the addition of CC Sabathia the Bronx Bombers have addressed one glaring need for a bonified “Ace”.  While they are far from don and seemed poised to land 2 more pitchers form AJ Burnett, Derek Lowe, and Ben Sheets the move made today could prove to loom just as large for the upcoming season.

The Yankees traded young Melky Cabrera to Milwakee for Mike Cameron.  This allows them to have a actual professional baseball player in CF and someone who is not going to crumble under the bright lighs of NYC like the Melk Man seemed to be.  Let’s face it..Melky was gonna be an average player at best with a great arm.  Cameron is  gold glover with speed and power and solidifies the outfield and keeps Johnny Damon in LF.

This is a huge small move for the Yanks.  Cameron is a proven player and is only on the hook for this year.  They have Austin Jackson bening molded in AA and Brett Garnder as the perfect 4th OF/pinch runner.

There will be much more to come during this off season, and while the Yankees are far from declaring themselves a favorite again they are progressing about as nicely as anyone could have expected thus far.

I know the 5 year $80 million offer to Burnett is scary cause of his injury history, but he is still relatively young and has proven he can pitch in th AL.  Its gonna be intersteing to see what’s next….
