With Jorge Posada out for the year, Brian Cashman added a catcher today by trading Kyle Farnsworth to Detroit for Ivan Rodgriguez. With Jose Veras and Edwar Ramirez pitching well, and Brian Bruney close to coming back from rehab,  Farnsworth became expendable. Although Jose Molina has held his own defensively, he has not done much with his bat, creating a hole in the bottom of the Yankee lineup (as evidence look no further than the intentional walk of Melky today).

This move helps the Yankees a lot. They get one of the best all time catch and throw receivers in the game, who also happens to hold a career .302 batting average.

Hank and Hal Steinbrenner have made the decision to go for it this year. Jarrod Washburn may be next!
