False. Negative. Erroneous. You want power? How about Shelley Duncan (19 homers and a .680 SLG in Scranton)? He's under contract already...at the minimum, not $1.3mm. Or perhaps we'd prefer someone who can get on base at a decent clip? Then bring up John Rodriguez who has a .389 OBP in Scranton. Or maybe we could just wait until Ransom finishes his rehab assignment, he's playing in Scranton now. You don't shell out $1.3mm for a 3rd string infielder, who'd be 4th string if not for Ransom's injury. Betemit's slow, not a particularly good fielder, and his power is overrated. If he goes through waivers and no one claims him and we can get him at the minimum or a minor league deal, then maybe it might be smart to perhaps consider it. But even then, I'd rather have Shelley, Rodriguez, Melancon, or Kroenke occupying a big league spot than Betemit. Worth $1.3mm? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. Its when people say stuff like this that others hate Yankee fans. Everyone immediately tries to say the Yanks should pick up any and every free agent or player that is available, no matter what. And Betemit? I mean he's not really even that much better than Berroa as a hitter. And Berroa runs over 1mph. $1.3mm....Jesus there are so many better players you could have at that price. Paying that kind of dough for a player like this is ridiculous. He isn't worth a major league deal at $400k and you want to trade for him and his $1.3mm contract when we have better options on our own payroll already. That's friggin hillarious.

Except in this case you’ve already had the measels and decide that you want them again." That's great/ Perfect “Bringing in Betemit for Berroa would be like trading the mumps for the measels.

Someone should do the numbers on this, via Michael Kay, we know Melky has 6 go ahead hits this year, how many does the all mighty arod have in 2009?
