When you have derek jeter, alex rodriguez, robinson cano in your inield, rounded out by the rest of the yankees awesome offense, your utility guy should be better in the field, and if that comes at the expense of offense, that's something you live with. Eduardo Nunez is never going to be a good enough bat to be jeter's replacement, and since pena is a much much much better defender, you keep pena if you have to make a choice. i’ve only ever heard that nunez is kevin russo with a better arm.

Here is why you need to chillax a bit about the whole halladay thing: Guys it would take to get 1 year of halladay right now (pick any 3, maybe 4): Joba Hughes Jackson Montero Banuelos Romine Heathcott Guys it would take to get however many years of halladay we want next year: a whole bunch of pictures of dead presidents dude. if the yankees are debating whether or not somebody is worthy of being protected from being taken for free, how would he factor into a deal for one of the best pitchers in baseball?

I think most people would agree that that's more valuable in a middle infielder than a less-sucky-but-still-sucky bat and a much worse glove. pena is an elite-fielding middle infielder with a good arm.

OTOH, I've heard she has gorilla sidekicks now and that's pretty damn awesome. /belated OT commentary What irks me the most is that DC has had 50+ years to create an impressive Wonder Woman who can compare to Batman and Superman in lore, abilities, cast, and etc. but they have squandered that time in just allowing writers to recreate her every few years until she’s no longer iconic.

You have Pena taking his place. I agree with your approach, and it let's us protect another player. If you want to upgrade that position, it's easy enough to pickup someone during the season.
