Things that make you go "Hmmm"

This New York Times article about the New York Yankees off-season dance with a number of players is mostly the usual nonsense about arbitration for this player, options for that player, and negotiations with these players. Then, well into the piece, this got my attention:

The veteran Nomar Garciaparra is willing to play several positions, and the Yankees met with his agent, Arn Tellem, on Wednesday. Tellem called it a good meeting, but he said Garciaparra would not sign anywhere this week.

Can you imagine an infield of Nomar Garciaparra at second, Derek Jeter at short, and Alex Rodriquez at third? Some would argue that Jeter was the third best shortstop on the team!
