The media is having a field day with these Yankees designated hitter rumors. Many names such as Hideki Matsui, Johnny Damon, and Raúl Ibañez are being thrown around as possibilities. But the Yankees don't need any of them.
The Yankees have A-Rod (37 in July), Derek Jeter (38 in June), and Andruw Jones (35 in April) who could benefit from a rotating DH spot. An open DH spot could also be used to play injured players such as A-Rod (we all know it inevitable), or even a bench player with a lot of power, if one comes out of spring training, (maybe Austin Romine or, if healthy, Francisco Cervelli, who has shown tremendous ability with runners in scoring position.
If the Yankees don't make a move for a DH, DON'T BE ALARMED!
They have plenty lined up for a rotating role already.
