Betemit to New York???

Ken Rosenthal and ESPN are both reporting that the Yankees are considering trading for Wilson Betemit of the Braves. The Yankee sources are suggesting that this is to prevent the need for Robinson Cano to rush back at 2B and provide a super-utility (all 4 IF positions) positions for Betemit. What seems to be missing from the discussion is that Yankee brass are apparently concerned about A-Rod's ability to play 3B in the NY spotlight.

The Yankees would reportedly send Scott Proctor to the Braves.
