I am not upset about Nick leaving as much as Claussen. Nick will be a good hitter, but never a real power guy, IMO. We also got a 27 year old dominant pitcher (he has had more quality starts than anyone on the Yankees staff including Pettite over the last three years, just no run support). We have enough hitting, just not enough pitching.
I hear you about Fossum, he is going to be good I think. An awful lot for a 38 year old pitcher who has had a history of injuries...but both teams are past the point of reason now.
Boone is just not good enough to give up that kind of prospect, IMO. Especially after the Yankees signed Henson to a colossal contract (idiots).
All I know is that if baseball even institutes a hard cap, both of these teams are screwed. They have given away all of thier prospects for the now, and have nothing lined up for the future.
PS...at least the Yankees and Sox are making good deals for the most part unlike the Mets and Dodgers!!
