Tori Hunter for 08 and 09?

2007-08-08T08:54:00.000-07:00

Tori Hunter's contract is up after the 2007 season. The Yankees are interested in having the great center fielder join them for the 08 and 09 seasons. Will he fit in though? If Tori Hunter starts at CF for the Yankees where will Melky play? Johny Damon will play DH, Hideki in left, and Abrue in right. So is there realy room for him especially because Melky has played so good this year it wouldn't be right to take his starting spot away from him in 08. There is a good solution though, The Yankees should get rid of Giambi because he has been hurt for most of the season and might be taking steriods. Johny Damon should play first base, Hideki can DH, Melky can play left, Tori Hunter can play center, and Bobby Abrue can play right. This would be a good move by the Yankees but anything could happen.
