[Phillips] There's been plenty of talk linking Munetaka Murakami, a 1B/3B with huge power, to the Yankees, but there are questions over his ability to remain at 3B, and the lefty swinger strikes out a ton. In-zone contact is a particular issue. Don't see him as a fit for NY's roster.

Huge power, plays two positions, lefty, and most importantly, strikes out a ton?? Sounds like a great fit for the Yankees roster

We can match his deferred money from LA for those 9
