Yankees potential trade target: Ian Kinsler

The Yankees' second base situation is not good. Should they try to trade for Ian Kinsler?

Around this time last year, the Yankees designated Brian Roberts for assignment and traded Kelly Johnson to the Red Sox for Stephen Drew. At the time, it seemed like almost anyone would be a better second baseman than Roberts, and the team didn't really lose anything in the trade for Drew. Somehow, Drew ended up hitting worse than Roberts and still inked a deal for 2015 with the Yankees. We've officially passed the halfway point in the season and Drew is offensively the worst player on the team.
