Chacon

I like the deal for the Yanks because Chacon is young and provides me more comfort than Leiter, Nomo and TBA.

The two pitchers they surrendered where a little old for AA and will never appear to be good if they pitch in Colorado.

Chacon throws across his body and that always concerns me, but other than that, a good deal for the Yanks.

This is the equivalent of dealing a minor leaguer like Ryan Sweeney for Orlando Cabrera. Almost no risk on your part as Sweeney may never reach the majors and Cabrera could contribute across the board this season and will retain value next season.

(Where has Sweeney's power gone? Not that he had a lot but zero HRs this year?)
