With Damon banged up as well, Steve L. over at WasWatching suggests the following,

The Yankees should move Damon to LF, call up Thompson to play CF, and use Melky Cabrera in RF (until Sheffield returns).

Now, the Yankees have already brought up Kevin Reese so working with what the Yankees have, swap Reese into Bubba's backup spot and play Crosby instead of Thompson so that you go Damon, Crosby, Cabrera across the outfield. Now, this makes a ton of sense to me as it would mitigate the amount of ground that Damon would have to cover which could perhaps help him to heal faster. It would also be a pretty fine defensive outfield, right? Here's a question though, would he be in more of a injury risk playing out of position? (I'm asking for opinions here - I'm not sure how this would play out) Personally, while not ecstatic about that outfield (I'd still like to see Thompson), it does keep Bernie off the field and they wouldn't completely embarass themselves at the plate (esp. if Bubba can show a little flash like last year).

Finally, how long before the old G.O.A.T. Rickey Henderson volunteers to join the Yankees and help out?
