I certainly don't like the move, I'd like to see youngsters (Mustelier, Mesa, Almonte, Neal, etc.) get a shot for a month or so until Granderson gets back and see if one of them runs with it the way Wang and Cano did when they were forced to play them due to injuries. However, supposedly they are paying all $13M in 2013 and will pay him nothing in 2014, unfortunately that's probably what he'll earn. The point being, this gives them a free OF for luxury tax purposes the year they intend to stay below $189M. I don't like that either, but when factoring that in, this whole thing make a little more sense.Some people say winning isn't everything. I say those people never won anything.
Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you...but it's still on the list.
Some people are like Slinkies, they are not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

What's smarter, spending $13M on an OF in 2013 in order to pay him nothing in 2014, or sticking with what you have in 2013 and getting a guy who makes the minimum or close to it in 2014? Answer is pretty clear to me.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

I can only imagine the Yankees weren't happy with Francisco in camp. Yes, they have 4 lefty bats (Grandy, Gardner, Ichiro, Pronk), and having a usable righty is important. But isn't that what Francisco and/or Rivera are for? I also don't get what happens to Boesch now. I thought he would have been able to give them most of what Ibanez gave them last year.

What I don't like about this is that Wells is signed for 2014. As somebody mentioned above, Wells is a freebie in 2014. He will be starting in 2014 along with Gardner and Ichiro. Grandy is gone and they won't go out and get anybody to replace him.
