The One that Got Away
The Yankees acquisition of Randy Johnson looks particularly bad tonight. Dioner Navarro is two for two with two RBI tonight. He raised his OBA to .389 and his slugging percentage to .441. At seasonal age 23, he has plenty of time ahead of him to make up for a slow career start. If New York had kept Navarro, they'd have the perfect player to replace Jorge. The Yankees could have started moving Posada to first last year, for example. You never know how prospects that young will turn out, but right now it looks like one got away.
The Rays lead the Yankees 6-0 in the top of the sixth.

That was a long time ago and Navarro was BAD. Hindsight is always 20-20
Did it ever look good? He was old, banged up, surly, unable to handle NY, and forced an extension. When did it look good to anyone outside of the NY media clowns begging for the fresh meat?
