Yankees to get older. Is that wiser?

I remember a period when George would collect about half a dozen 1B/DH types and wonder why they couldn’t all play in the same game.One of those guys only cost Jay Buhner. Today’s move may be just as curious, but there may be more than meets the eye.

The Yankees have found their center fielder for 2009, as they are set to send Melky Cabrera to Milwaukee for veteran outfielder Mike Cameron on Thursday, according to two major league sources.

What the article doesn’t say, and what I read or heard somewhere yesterday, is that Cameron and Sabathia are BFFs.

The problem I have with this is that it is a one year fix. Cabrera is not even 24 years old yet. I understand the move, but I don’t like how little they got for Melky.
