Big Changes in 2012

What was it, like 2 weeks ago we all had a heart attack over the trade of Jesus Montero and Hector Noesi for Micheal Pineda and Jose Campos? "How could they do it?" some asked regarding Montero. No more John Sterling yelling "Jesus is loose!". I think that trade was a little risky. He only played in the majors for, what, 9 games? We barely got a taste of his potential. He was supposed to be our Golden Child! Grrrrrr....

Brian Cashman probably knows how that trade looked. Pineda will do us some good for a little while. Then we have Campos who is 19 years old. Spent 2 years in the Minors. This could either be really good or really bad. Young talent is great but only if that talent is finely tuned. I'm anxious to see how it works out for us. I mean if we have guys like AJ Burnett or even sometimes Hughes crumbling under pressure (And they've been with us for a while)...how's a kid going to be? Maybe he'll be a fearless kind of newbie instead of the timid kind. Who knows...

I'm pretty excited that Joba is coming back, I follow his tweets on Twitter and from what I gather, he says his arm feels good. The man himself even responded to an inquiry of mine regarding his arm post-Tommy John surgery this past summer! (Click the photo to see it better)

The Yankees also have a DH spot to fill. It warms my heart to see that Matsui and Damon are being talked about. How awesome would it be to get number 28 with Godzilla hitting a monster homer?!

I still say we need to get AJ Burnett the hell out of the Bronx, though. Buuuuuuuut, we did get HIROKI KURODA! And the best thing was the news about him came not long after the Montero trade and my Twitter and Facebook timelines all had a Yankee themed orgasm lol Woohoo!

This season sounds pretty good already! Oh, and Monsieur Russell Martin is back and so is Andruw Jones! Oh and *mumbles* Boone Logan, too...... -_-
