Proctor is gone, and Farnsworthless still remains a Yankee, despite his hissy fit and schoolgirl antics with Posada this past weekend. I think that the entire locker room should have just beat the piss out of him.
The Red Sox sign Gagne...I guess this means we can forget the Wild Card. Although in retrospect (and listening to Sweeni Murty on WFAN), the Texans were totally unreasonable - they wanted Hughes, Chamberlain, or Tabata, and refused any offer that didn't include at least one of them. They basically tried to hold the Yankees hostage, and thankfully, Cashman didn't bite.
On the plus side, Betemit is a great pinch hitter, and should allow us to spell A-Rod and Jeter on defense, at least until Giambi returns full time.
Again, I think that one thing to remember is the Yankees are getting Hughes back, Giambi back, and likely Chamberlain will move up to assume the set-up role (or Mussina will be forced to the bullpen). So hopefully that cancels out the non-trades today.
