The Yankees are trying to bring Shea to the Bronx.

Shea Hillenbrand could become the next righthanded hitter to play first base for the Yankees. The team is engaged in serious talks to acquire the 31-year-old who is about to be dumped by the Angels, according to a person familiar with the situation. (Source)

Look, I’m as glad as anyone that Miguel Cairo won’t be playing first anymore. But, I can’t be too happy when they are replacing him with Shea Hillenbrand, who has a worse VORP than Wil Nieves (-9.0) making him one of the worst hitters in the entire league. I still wouldn’t give up Joba, Ian or Phil for Tex, but this is getting rediculous.
