Do you think if kyle farnsworth stayed in new york yankees it would have helped?

Question

i personally think tht trading kyle farnsworth for ivan rodriguez was a mistake and if he had stayed it would be better.

Answer 1

The Yankee problem go way beyond relief pitching. They have had a lot of trouble driving in runs. The Yankees have always been the kind of team that if they couldn't out pitch you, they would out hit you. They haven't done that this year. Farnsworth is a head-case. Gerardi thought he could 'fix' him since he caught him in Chicago. He couldn't and they needed to add offense. I agree Pudge was a mistake, but they needed to try and add a catcher who could hit AND throw.  

Answer 2

When Farnsworth got to Detroit he lost like 4 games in a row for them.  Now, Pudge isn't exactly performing either, but hey, we have a good defensive catcher.  The Yanks have to get more than a two pitcher rotation...

Answer 3

No he would make them worse.

Answer 4

It would have helped them lose games. He's an idiot with nothing but a fastball. When big league players KNOW the fastball is coming they will hit it a mile, as they often do off Farnsworth. There's a reason he's been on so many teams.

Answer 5

I doubt it.  All Kyle can do is throw a fastball.  He has too many control issues.

When he was with the Cubs, it was almost a certainty that he would walk the first batter that he faced.  I was glad to see him go.
