breaking news here in detroit

Just saw it on the YES post game, helps the yanks a little because Molina was really a free out

 

[5teamparlay]

interesting, Tigers get Farnworth.

Will be an interesting day.

 

[ATP]

pudge on a severe decline, loved him in the past, but molina has been as much as you can ask from a backup catcher

 

[Harvey Dent]

Molina is a free out, pudge is an upgrade hitting and an even better arm

 

[Brock Landers]

Kyle Farnsworth for Ivan Rodriguez, who would have thought that 5 or 10 years ago?

 

[Harvey Dent]

had NO idea Pudge was hitting .295 big big big upgrade

 

[billhill999]

Sweet !
Farnswothless gone, and a catcher that can hit.

Jesus I was looking over Pudges stats for the last 4 years, to try and bring some positive to the table and couldn't even do that. I didn't realize Pudge has such a low OB%, In the last 4 years he's struck out 327 times and only walked 65 times. Thats horrible. .287 average over that time ain't bad, but only .312 OB % is pathetic.

With the Tigers last year in 502 at bats, he struck out 96 times and only walked 9 ... Crazy stats.

Are the Yankees the AL EAST FRONTRUNNER????

Terrible trade for yanks. They dont need another crappy hitter. Molina is a better defensive catcher.

By your post you seem to just be a yankee hater, the guy is a .295 hitter and has a CANNON... Yankees now have the Best catcher in the AL EAST

 

[ATP]

how long is his contract?

 

[ATP]

never been a fan of farnsworth, but the yankees can not afford to be throwing away pitching

 

[Harvey Dent]

I believe both pudge and farns are free agents next year

 

[5teamparlay]

NAVVY the all stat getting mo love here, harvey.

Pudge definitely the smartest and managess a staff well in a playoff run though IM).

Great shot at 3,000 career hits and a he will see the hall some day.

wow, remind me never to take anything you say serious

.295 hitting catcher throwing out 40% of baserunners = terrible trade?

 

[Harvey Dent]

never been a fan of farnsworth, but the yankees can not afford to be throwing away pitching

IMO they can one of the best bullpens in the league

Not a better arm. Not even close. This is 2008, not 1988.
