I think you underestimate Kotsay. He is the most fundamentally sound outfielder in baseball, he might not make he Andruw Jones web gems but he is the most reliable defender is baseball. He gets better jumps on balls than anyone else and has a fucking cannon arm. He is not among the league leaders in assists because nobody even thinks about running on him. And at this stage in his career he's a much better hitter than Bernie. Obviously he can't help the pitching but if he comes to the Yankees and has a hot first few weeks the team will start to play better as a whole and gel. Look what happened to the Red Sox last year, they had alot of great players but they weren't playing well in June and were losing ground on the Yankees. They make a huge deal to bring in a great defensive player and a good hitter and look how it worked out for them.
