The Yankees could be interested in Joe Randa to back up or share first base with Giambi. The Yankees also talked to former Yankee and Met Miguel Cairo. Randa, a regular third baseman, batted .276 with 17 homers and 68 RBIs for the Reds and Padres last year.

I think this is an interesting move and I think It appeals to me. It certainly gives us bench depth. He actually has always reminded me of Scott Brosius.

I was suprised to here about Randa, I thought he only played the hot corner

Looks like the Yanks don't have much faith in Phillips

Ideally we would get someone who can play 1B and the OF to be able to give Sheff anf Matsui a chance at DH also

No you right. But I tell you what, we moan about our bench being thin, but a guy like Randa is the perfect place to start beefing it up.

I say get it done Cash. Randa would be a solid add to the bench.

He reminds me of the Joker...
Randa would be decent though

Why do people believe that Joe Randa would be interested in coming to the Yankees as a bench/role player? He played 150 games last season and went .276/.335/.452 playing mostly 3B.

I would love to see this team add Randa, but I suspect this report is just another scribe having flatulence.

When it's exclusively written in the NY Post, you have to be careful, particularly, if it's George King.

George King - "I never made up a rumor I didn't like."

I'd rather the Yankees sign Cairo than Randa, because he is so much more versitile. Randa would probably just play third and first, but Cairo plays all the infield positions as well as a respectable outfield.

They can do both-Randa would take Phillips' spot and they would still need a reserve IF.

Does George King also work for the Weekly World News under a different name writing stories about space aliens with two heads?

Couldn't he be a regular, splitting time between DH and 1B?

Randa would be a nice addition to the LINEUP.

I love the Weekly World News. The big difference between George King and the WWN is that the WWN doesn't take itself seriously... George King does.

nnysiny · 12-23-05, 10:27 AM

a big "hell no" for Randa playing 1B, or anywhere in Yankee Stadium for that matter

Evil Empire · 12-23-05, 10:29 AM

What a Joker.

The sad thing is that people read George King and take him seriously.

Randa could be a very nice guy for the bench but he's only started 3 games at first over the couse of his career.
