Cabrera, Henn, and Gomez sound good?

No chance. That's seriously overpaying. Just watch these guys and you will see that the potential talent from them dwarfs anything Kotsay ever will be, and I'm a Kotsay fan. Love his hustle and style of playing the game, but this is waayyyyyyyyyyy to much.

Logically; if there is going to be a deal with the Marlins; I would expect that the Yankees would receive Juan Pierre instead of Encarnacion; along with Burnett.

You may not need superstars at every position, but you sure as heck need good players at every position.

That I agree with. What would Juan bring to the table that Womack has not already offered? His OBP stinks and he's got medium power at best. And we are trading Sheffield for him? We better get something better than him.

The downside is I could see us benching/dumping Encarnacion. But if Pierre comes over, it will be Womack II, because the Boss loved him in the '03 series..

I would rather give Melky a shot before Pierre. I've never been a big fan of Pierre anyway.
