Nomar to play 1b for the Yankees?

Nomar Garciaparra - 3B - Cubs

 

 

Several sources told the New York Post that the Yankees have made an offer to free agent Nomar Garciaparra.

He'd be brought in to play first base, making Jason Giambi a designated hitter. Whether this would have an effect on the Bernie Williams negotiations is unclear. It's also uncertain whether the Yankees would still have room in the budget to add Johnny Damon. Garciaparra is believed to have a two-year offer on the table from the Blue Jays, and while he won't command the same kind of guarantee he did a year ago, he's probably in line for at least $5 million per season.

5mil for Nomar? If healthy what a steal.

Does Nomar produce enough for 1b?

When healthy, Nomar produces enough for anywhere you put him.

Looks like he would be an avg 1b with his production. In their lineup, I guess it is enough.

Exactly, with the rest of the lineup being very strong (assuming the Giambino returns to the second half of 2005 type numbers), Nomar can be more than adequate at 1B. I guess the Yanks haven't learned that they need to improve their pitching.
