Not implying Patton will have Hamilton's impact, but find it interesting that the two clubs--who "compete" in the same division--make another Rule 5 swap . . .

The greatest sports franchise ever. All these other fans crying...start looking to your owners. Even with luxury tax money they are not spending. The NY Yankees are playing by the rules and are supporting baseball also. Even in a year that they did not make the playoffs they still drew 4 mil. Deal with it...stop blaming the Yankees and start getting on these owners who pocket the money instead of making their teams better. The NY Yankees are the king of everything.

I thought the Yankees had a weak system and the Sox were overflowing with talent. Anyway I don't think the Yankees lost the next Johan Santana today.... 6 Yankees taken? 0 Red Sox?

Pitchers are easy to hide on the 25 man roster. By my count there were only 4 Yankees taken in the major league portion, and 3 were pitchers. Pitchers are easy to hide on the 25 man roster.
