Yanks ship Benitez to Seattle for . . . (wait for it) . . .

Jeff Nelson! . . .

so whatcha think, Yankee fans? . . . personally, I like it . . . gets rid of Benitez and brings the Yanks a quality set-up guy who performed that role for them during several Series-winning years . . .

3. I've always liked Nelson

he had some rough times with the Yanks, but he's solid overall. Definitely a step-up from Benitez.

What're his stats this year?

5. Feh - not all that hot

Seven saves, something like a 3.57 ERA. I think he's a dick - I'm sure he'll fit in well back on his old team.

7. take Nelson, please!

We've recently watched him blow too many saves here in Seattle. My husband and I now cringe when he comes into the game. He's all yours, regardless who we get in return.

8. Gillick Wins

Guess Pat Gillick showed Nelson he's willing to trade after all...particularly after Nelson roasted him in the Seattle press last week!
