I'm pretty sure the Yankees will offer him arby, Posada likely won't be able to catch much next season and having a good backup is a worthwhile luxury for a team like the Yankees. Plus, if he doesn't want to be a backup and declines arby, they get picks. It's win/win for them, they'll either get the picks or have a very nice backup plan.

Very nice trade for the Yankees. Even if Pudge goes back to his 2007 level, he's still a huge upgrade over Jose Molina (who is himself a huge upgrade over Chad Moeller as the backup). Farnsworth is pretty not good, so I don't get it from Detroit's perspective. The Yankees had little use for Farnsworth and a big need at catcher, so it works out great for them.

Just to follow up, that MLE calculator of Dan Szymborski's that kramnoj found during the Nelson debate has Cruz putting up the equivalent of a .310 BA, .388 OBP, and .631 SLG. That's an OPS of 1.019 which would rank him 2nd in the AL. His OBP would be tied for 9th and his SLG would be 1st. My own MLE's have him at about a .930 OPS (not including Texas's park factor but including Oklahoma's) which would put him 6th in the AL. Now, I'm not saying Cruz is legitimately somewhere between the 2nd and 6th best hitter in the AL. I'm just saying that he is a good player and one that should be given a legit shot to play somewhere. This is only his age 27 season, it's not like he's Roberto Petagine or something. I think he is a productive ML player now and will be for several years. -

Well, Cruz is doing a lot better than Nelson is, and also his name isn't Jose. I never said I thought Cruz had a ton of value around baseball, what I'm saying is that, in my opinion, he has value on the field. I thought the same about Branyan before this year and I see Cruz as similar in that their demerits are being viewed more prominently than their considerable merits. Cruz is absolutely crushing AAA. My point about the teams is that it's all in isolation. If a team thinks he would be better than whoever they currently have at left or right or DH or whatever, they'd be interested (or should be).

Suffice to say that I disagree and think he is better than that, despite his poor performance in 450 ABs so far. There is no reason he can't be league average or better. And what's with this dividing the league into good and bad teams? That's not really how it works. Many good teams are running absolutely terrible players out there at power positions. Look at the Dodgers with Pierre playing LF. Or the Angels with Gary Matthews DHing and Garret Anderson in right or the Twins with an outfield of suck in Delmon Young (who seems to be finally turning it around a bit), Carlos Gomez, and Michael Cuddyer. The Rangers have gotten terrible production out of 1st base. Gary Sheffield appears to be totally washed up as Detroit's DH, Gabe Gross and Cliff Floyd are less than inspiring in Tampa, Melky Cabrera has been horrible for the Yanks, the Mets are stuck using Endy Chavez, Geoff Jenkins has been terrible for Philly, Chris Young is atrocious in Arizona, etc.
