I'm not a fan of Joe Crede either, I too would rather stick with Betemit. I think we should try to upgrade at 1st base where it'd be easier to make up for A-Rod's bat and keep Betemit at 3rd. I guess there really aren't too many attractive options out there, however, as Carlos Pena is going to resign with the Rays, and who knows how good he'd be anyway.

Honestly, I would never go into a season with Betemit at 3rd. He is HORRIBLE in the field. I would rather see Cairo starting. He is a great bench player, he can play a few positions and has some Pop for late inning at bats in relief. But he is NOT a day to day starter, especially to take over for AROD. Crede plays very good d. he was injured so his numbers were down, but look at his last full year stats. He hit .283, which is far from low, its about average. He put up 30 HRs, great for a 3B, and drive in 94, which would have been like 115 with NYs lineup. I will take that ANY day, as I dont see any options near that. I would like to see Matsui go as well, but it wont happen. Damon still is a good player, there just sint room for him, and I think he will be traded as he still has some real value. I think an upgrade at first could also be dpne after Damon for Crede, they could drop some prospects (none of the top ones) but like some AA guys that they only keep around to trade. Not ever guy in the system is meant to make the bigs.
