Casey Blake
1 September 2008
They weren't far away to begin with, and they've added some serious talent lately (Manny, Casey Blake, etc). And yet they recently suffered an eight-game losing streak. On the other hand, you have the Yankees. They haven't missed the playoffs in a gazillion seasons, but the year after Torre leaves they look to be facing a third-place finish in their own division. So is he overrated or not? To quote my lovely and talented wife, perhaps we need a little more time and information.

Or they could shift the entire infield around if Casey Blake is dealt, and that’s the most likely outcome of this situation—other than merely returning Cabrera to second sack. The Dodgers were interested in Blake as part of a Sabathia swap, and the Rays have been rumored to want him, though it’s not clear where he’d fit in. He’s certainly a good corner man in the infield or outfield, and could be a supersub to a contending team that wants to give up a lot for him. If anything might happen from Cabrera’s work at short, this is it, but it may just be a case of using Cabrera where he worked best in Buffalo.
