I don't know what to think>

Not the big splash, but then again I don’t want a big splash, Yanks don’t need it.

Hairston is EXACTLY the type of utility player the Yanks need.

Would like to see a pitcher, but this was need 1A to me.

I don’t know to give Cashman and A+ cuz I don’t know who’s going to the Reds. As long as its a B prospect or below, A+ to Cashman.

Chase Weems?

Yea, Cash gets an A++ for this one.

Would have like a pitcher, but maybe we actually see the kids from AAA instead of trading them for a waste like Arroyo.

Hairston is the utility player of utility players, all over the place. Love the trade.

he ain't starting

he’ll play maybe 2 times a week at most. He can play 8 positions is better than Cody Ransom at life, and where exactly you get below the Mendoza line the past month I don’t know (Mendoza liek is below .200 you know?) He’s got a hit in damn near every game in July.

The Pissants get a guy in V-Mart who will need to play everday and force a GG 1st basman to 3rd base. Laugh at that.

Totally Hilarious

The Yankees pick up a guy who has a BABIP of .277 despite hitting line drives at a 24.3% clip… so putting him in the Yankees ballpark as a utility player who can hit for average once his numbers regress, yeah, hilarious.
