The Yankees are keeping tabs on Pirates outfielders Xavier Nady and Jason Bay and new A's Matt Murton because they believe their biggest need is a right-handed bat.

And they haven't dismissed signing Richie Sexson who was released by the Mariners yesterday.

Murton went from the Cubs to the A's in the Rich Harden deal.

Here is another name off the radar: Austin Kearns.

On another note, isn't it time for Joe Girardi to get Jorge Posada behind the plate where he belongs? Jason Giambi is better defensively (yeah, really!) than Jorge plus it gets another strong bat in the lineup.
