Yanks acquire Vazquez

So they added Granderson, Johnson, and Vazquez (>5 WAR average the last 3 years) this offseason...holy fuck.

And seriously... Melky? Anyone could've beat that.

I've always felt Melky was a bit underrated, at least by the people who disagree with Yankee fans that may possibly overrate him

But yeah, the Yankees are having an offseason that even Mariner fans should be envious of.

A league average player at 25 years old and under arbitration for a few more years. Plus they get Viscaino, who supposedly has a bunch of potential. And the guys they have replacing Vazquez are a lot better than replacement level. This is actually a very good deal for both teams.

As both a Braves and a Mariners fan

As I woke up to read this news over on the braves blog, I was absolutely sick. It’s pretty much a money saving move, and they couldn’t move the albatross contract that is Derek Lowe. However, it sounds like they won’t even go after a big hitter like they need.. Yanks got a steal of a deal. The only nice thing about this for the Braves is that they get Arodys Vizcaino, who seems to be a very nice prospect. Still, Vazquez to the Yankees is bad news, with their additional off season moves.
