Miguel Cairo Dilemma

Miguel Cairo has been a Yankee since 2004 excluding 2005 season which was the Tony Womack experiment. In his tenure as a Yankee he has been nothing short of a good serviceable back up infielder. This off season in the Randy Johnson trade, one of the three players obtained in the trade was slick fielding SS Alberto Gonzalez. Gonzalez in my opinion would be a better fit as the backup infielder, he is an above average fielder with an above average arm which is what you would want form a back up infielder anything hitting wise would be plus. But unfortunately Gonzalez is still young enough where he still needs his AB’s which he wont get being a utility man behind Jeter, Arod and Cano.In the misfortune that one of these infielders get hurt I think it would be best for Gonzalez to get the call as the starter while Cairo stays as the backup.
