The GM meetings kick off in Orlando this week, and you know Brian Cashman will be talking 3rd Base quite a bit. One of those fellow GMs interested will be Kenny Williams, who has bad backed Joe Crede available. Crede has been cleared to resume baseball activities and Williams hopes to move him so phenom Josh Fields can play his natural position. We've said it before, we really don't want this guy unless he comes cheap. Of course the Chicago Tribune is speculating that Johnny Damon could be had. If the Yankees merely want to dump some salary, they can do that. But they'll be worse off offensively and right now they can't afford to do that.

One non-Yankees note- Congratulations to John Russell on becoming the newest 1st year skipper. Russell was let go as a Pirates coach 2 years ago when Jim Tracy came in, but in coming full circle, Russell now replaces Tracy as the Pirates manager.
