according to espn's front page... "Yankees Acquire Pudge With Jorge Posada out, the Yankees have been hunting for catching help. They got it Wednesday afternoon when they acquired Ivan Rodriguez from the Detroit Tigers, according to ESPN the Magazine's Buster Olney."

For Professor Kyle Farnsworth.

He goes into the Hall wearing a Yankees cap. Yankee for life. It's the fulfillment of a lifetime dream for him. (I assume.)

I'm glad they never got their hands on Piazza. (Or Seaver for that matter; it looked scary there for a while in 1986.) Another Yankee named Rodriguez. Will he also get to fuck Madonna?

Pudge, a FA at the end of the season, isn't nearly [url=http://www.baseball-reference.com/r/rodriiv01.shtml]the player he used to be[/url] but he's certainly a step up from Jose Molina and Chad Moeller. Brandon Inge has been doing more of the Detroit catching lately and Farnsworth helps plug the hole created by Joel Zumaya's latest DL stint.

Cashman is proving himself to be a smarter GM than Minaya......expect that in the paper tomorrow.

Yeah? Which one signed Posada to that four year deal in the first place? Minaya may get more bang for his boss's buck out of Castillo. I mean, I doubt it, but that's the angle I'm going to work.

This puts the "Dumb" in Dombrowski. I wonder what's wrong with Pudge? I mean, I hope, a lot.
