Question

The Yankees trade for I-Rod-good deal or bad?

Answer 1

Good for the yanks, being a catcher, i have always admired Ivan Rodriguez, even though he is on a different team.  The only catcher I may want ahead of him is Ryan Doumit, but hey, Ivans good.

Answer 2

Doesn't really matter, the Angels are going to the World Series.

Answer 3

Good for the Yanks. I don't honestly know why the Tigers got Farnsworth...

Answer 4

great trade for yankees

but the tigers just gave up on pudge like the pirates to nady and marte

Answer 5

Great for the Yankees.

Laughable for the Tigers.

Answer 6

Yankees fan here.

It's a decent trade. I wasn't high on Farnsworth, but he was improving. Guess that means Girardi believes in Edwar Ramirez to hold down the eighth inning.

As for Pudge: Hmm, I'm not too sure about getting him. Sure, he's a defensive dynamo who still has a good bat, but I'm not sure if he can conjure up the Pudge of '03 when he was with the Marlins. I know he'll be a rent-a-player because I doubt he'll supplant Posada once Jorgie returns in '09.

On a confidence scale of 1 to 10, I give this deal a 7.

Answer 7

Good 4 yanks bad for tiggers fun fun fun fun im the only one

Answer 8

I agree, the Yanks pick up a good catch and this leaves the door open for Posada to get the surgery and not worry what the Yankees will do

Answer 9

Great Replacement for Posada.

Great Trade.

Not a Good Trade for the Tigers.

Only getting a below average reliever for a future HOF.

Answer 10

I think it was a smart move considering Posada could be gone for the remainder of the season.

He will probably bat 7 or 8 in the lineup and is a steal for the yanks who only had to give up a dumpy middle reliever in Farnsworth

i'm not a yankee fan, but they obviously won this trade

Answer 11

tigers will suck *** now

Answer 12

Good for Yankees

Bad for tigers
