Well, the prospect is supposedly Navarro, who I think is the heir apparent to Posada, so it's not like he's just any crap. Of course, it means he's the team's last real prospect.
The deal makes no sense. You can survive with a 3B platoon with what you have elsewhere. The deal opens a big hole at second. And, moving A-Rod makes no sense as he's a better shortstop both defensively and offensively then Jeter could ever dream of being.
Not to mention that even with Navarro and Soriano, the Rangers are getting a Texas-sized shaft.
