If Andujar stays above .850 for his OPS, he does not need to be a top fielder. Just needs to improve enough to get that FP up above .965 or so.
As for Bird, tough call, but he is starting to look like a AAAA Player. That said, he is only 25 and has missed major time with injuries. Yankees may want to put him back in AAA and see if he can turn things around. Just imagine how happy you would be right now if the Yankees had grabbed Moose to play 1B before the Brewers got him!
As a side note, looks like Washington threw up the White Flag. Murphy, Adams and Harper all were put on waivers and claimed. Murphy and Adams are both very interesting claims, as no one knows what team claimed them as of yet. Both would be huge upgrades at 1B for the Yankees if they are the team that claimed either of them. From there, it would be a matter of working out a deal with Washington.
