In response to "He'd better be a catcher, because they have Justin Smoak for 1B." by David

They can stash either guy at DH...it's not like Seattle fans will mandate a top-tier hitter has to waste time in the field.

the Yanks can't do that given they have so many aging guys who need days off in the field.

Responses:

Given the value of quality pre-arbitrage starters, I simply do not understand this trade for Seattle. - David Jan 14, 12:22 5
- I think they realized that they weren't just a Prince deal away from it and needed *something* to happen offensively. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 12:23 4
  - More importantly, I love the Kuroda signing, short-term, very cost-effecient given his stats - Will Hunting Jan 14, 12:31 1
    - I like that they got two young pitchers. Campos is young and likely two or three years away from starting but with those two plus Nova and Hughes - Krusty Jan 14, 13:06
  - If Ackley, Smoak and Montero all turn out, they'll look like geniuses. - David Jan 14, 12:30 1
    - Yeah, I don't think they expected Felix to be there still...espeically if they didn't upgrade the offense. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 12:32
