True, but the Yankees bullpen can get them to the Summer. Before the trading deadline, don't tell me Melky's value won't be even higher than it is now with all of the free-spending and injuries bound to happen between April and July.

By the deadline, we could get Gonzalez, maybe a utility infielder, and probably work in a deal for a big-time prospect in exchange for Melky.

Plus, the Yankees will be active as well, and should supplant their 'pen around this time. And their rotation would benefit when Clemens decides to pitch for 3 months or so and the Yanks have a chance to sign him.
