Yankees Get Pudge!!!!?

Question

I say good move because farnsworth aint coming back after this season and Pudge is a Type A free agent. Also when posada comes back, he is one great back up. So whatta u guys think?

Answer 1

Keep pudge and get rid of Zumaya and Rodney. They are no good, Pudge is still good for a few years but the two pitchers throw too hard and will always be in the sidelines with injuries plus their control is horrible especially Rodney.Get rid of Inge because of his low batting ave.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

He should come back to Texas. Where he belongs.

Answer 4

Well first of all im am a HUGE yankee fan and that trade i think is a good move because pudge can do some damage with the bat and and do an ecxellent job behind the plate. You ask who is going to be the 8th inning guy, well it will be jose veras he has done pretty well and has excellent stuff. in all good trade not great but good i say that because yes you are taking out a quality arm from the bullpen and farnsworth has good stuff.  IN ALL i think good trade.   GO YANKEES # 27 COMING!!!

Answer 5

im sorry but i do not like this trade AT ALL!! i am a huge yankee fan and this trade shocked me. i know we needed a catcher because you cant expect molina to go out there every day, and if molina goes down before the trade deadline then we are stuck with moeler. but farnsworth is our 8th inning guy and has been showing extreme improvement. you dont give up on a guy whos velocity is as good as his so we can get a yesteryear catcher.who will be the yankees 8th inning guy now? unless they have some plan that i dont know about to fill this position i think it is very dumb. bottom line we needed a catcher and im glad we got pudge. but to give up farnsworth and not even get a prospect or ANYTHING else is dumb. bad move cashman

The link of the story.....great trade for the yankees but it was a little late because farnsworth was just starting to get good! Still, Farnsworth is not what they need at this time....and the tigers need bullpen help.....so good trade on both sides

Answer 7

Great move by Cashman. Posada just got surgery today and is out until at least Spring Training 2009. We got a catcher and got rid of Farnsworth in one shot.

Does it get any better?

Answer 8

I AM FURIOUS!!!!!!!!!! Pudge was great! Now every tigers game i go to i am going to boo the tigers. I will chear for the yankees when i go to the Yankees vs. Tigers game in September.

Answer 9

Good move wirh Jorge out Molina is a dead bat all in all good replacement now with Farnsworth gone id like to see some step up and plug up the 8th i dont think it will be Marte he is needed for left handed bats so lets see who it will be.

Answer 10
