Okay, it looks like the Yanks will be unloading Joe’s boy Scott Procter, one of the worst relief pitchers in the American League (hyperbole), for the Los Angeles Dodgers’ backup third baseman Wilson Betemit. He’s got Mitt in his surname, so he has that Romney thaang going, and he’s hitting in the .230s. The one good I see from him is that he has hit a home run about once every sixteen official plate appearances. The best item from this trade is that Procter will be gone.
Now, we need someone (Seattle?) to give us something for Igawa and anyone to take that smartass Farnsworth off our hands. The man is not a Yankee.
In related news, the Yankees have signed Mariano Rivera for three more years and Alex Rodriquez through 2014. Yes, I’m making that up, but I’ve purchased their autographed baseballs in hope of making such a thing so.
