I hear what your saying Jaydawg, but baseball needs the Yankees to be good.  Every year the Yankees lead baseball in Road Attendance and when they show up in other cities, the teams get the highest TV ratings also.  Since the Yankees get a cut of the road attendance, other cities are really helping the Yankees out by showing up when they come to town, at least in a small way.  Also the Yankees team merchandise almost always sells the most every year.  

From a baseball perspective, getting D-Train is just what the Yankees need.  A talented young lefty in Yankee Stadium.  No more Pavano's or Wright's, get lefties.  The failure of the Yankee farm system to develop young lefties is hard to believe.  They did have Claussen and Halsey, whom they traded away, but without Pettite they've won no championships.
