Nick Johnson

Sometimes the Yankees are linked with names that are just stupid. I loved Nick Johnson when he was with the Yankees. He played good defense, hit pretty well, and was generally a good player. But he is not a good fit for the Yankees. Nick Johnson is super injury prone and not nearly the best option at first base, or DH. If the Yankees want to take a chance with a DH/1B go after this guy:

obviously this is not Adam LaRoche but this came up in the google search for Adam LaRoche and it made me laugh.

Back to the point, Adam LaRoche would be a much better fit than Nick Johnson. For that matter a 40 year old Jim Thome would crank a ton of homers in the New Yankee Stadium and would be a much better fit than Nick Johnson. Nick Johnson shouldn't really be considered by the Yankees anytime outside of 2001-2003.
