So I was running by a few names in the times article today which included the preposterous idea of getting Loretta to play 1b and a name popped out which gave me an idea. Why not go with a platoon. Get Mientkiewicz for facing right handers, and go out to get Eduardo Perez to play vs lefties. The guy mashed lefties to a .857OPS last season. That would help to even out the lineup when facing a tough lefty while giving the yankees the D of Mientkiewicz for the majority of the games (seeing as there are more righty starters than left).
Other options include the powerful yet defensively inept Josh Phelps, the I cannot hit a breaking ball Andy Phillips, and the barely able to break .700OPS Mark Loretta. Sounds like my idea would work.
