Yanks Should Pass on Andrus

The Post and some other are actually pimping the idea of the Yanks picking up Rangers SS Elvis Andrus as well as his huge contract and inability to get on base as the Yankee replacement for Jeter.  I sincerely hope the Yanks aren't this stupid.  Over his career, Andrus has been 16% below average on offense.  Why would anybody pick up 1 more year of that, let alone 8 more years of that?   They wouldn't and shouldn't. The Yanks should just bandage the position for the next few years, as they finally have some talented kids coming up at the position, like Mateo, Abital and others.

A big pass ..PED's?? He has gone down hill ever since he signed that big contract.

His contract is horrible for his level of production. That anybody with a working brain would consider this a serious possibility is beyond belief.

"Like" button! Committing to Andrus for the life of his contract would mean that they wasted all the money they just spent on IFA SSs this year and on other SS prospects at the lower levels of their system. They should be looking for a 2-year solution, stop-gap if necessary, which will enable them to determine if they in fact have a blue-chip SS in their system.

Remember when we were about to sign an ancient Greg Maddox?

And Bonds at one point.

I didn't realize that Stanton's contact was so back-loaded. He could be traded at a time when a team shouldn't want him.

Billy Butler got pretty crazy money for a DH from Oakland, which shows how bad that messed up by trading Cespedes, and how good a move that was for Boston.

Maybe I will be proved wrong, but I would take McCann's contract over this, although I think it's crazy for either one:
