It looks like the Yankees are trying to sign Travis Lee. I would take Lee in a second over Tony Clark. However, first base is not the problem. The problem is the team has no infield defense. The need to find a glove wizard who can play 2nd or short to back up the rangeless duo in the middle. Lee is not the answer to the Yankees defensive problems.
It looks like the Yankees are trying to find that great defensive guy at SS.

But they want to move him to 3rd and keep Jeter at SS???
I thought the Cardinals either signed Lee, or were considering him to replace Timo Perez (who replaced Lee in Tampa), giving the Cards 3/4ths of the 2000 Phillies infield, missing just Deli Relaford at short.
Just one little point of contention. There is a significant in the relative range of Jeter and Soriano. Soriano has more range than Jeter. He’s not great but he’s not as bad.
looks like it’s more than just speculation now…
