The Yankees just picked up Jose Molina from the Angels for a AA relief pitcher. I'm not sure who the pitcher is (hopefully not a stud) but Molina's a good backup catcher.
My god, White Sox fans must be sucidial.
this inning should have been over like a half hour ago.

Why the fuck did we get rid of a minor league arm for a backup C?
Especially one as shitty as Jose Molina? Big fucking improvement over Wil Nieves.
Oh well, 17-5 and Arod is closing in on 500.
Well, the super awesome Phillies prospect (or at least was supposed to be) Kyle Drabek will have Tommy John surgery this week, done by the Mets physician no less. I never really liked the kids attitude but he was supposed to be really good but hasn't been very successful since he was drafted.
It turns out the minor league arm is Jeff Kennard. He was a 40th round pick in 2000 (he's about to turn 26) and he's got a career 3.01 ERA at A and AA. Scouting reports call him a poor man's Scott Proctor. It appears to be a personnel dump on both sides (the Yankees system is stocked with far better and younger arms and the Angels already have two backup catchers).
