Yanks Make A Big Move

Well, they sort of a make a big move. Octavio Dotel has been activated off the DL. That's huge. Think of it this way: it's like a big trade that you didn't give anything up for. For all intents and purposes the Yankees acquired Dotel for Jose Veras. The Yankees just added a huge arm to their bullpen and it's mid-August. This smells and feels like a blockbuster, even though it's not. Dotel hasn't played for the Yanks all year, so it's like he wasn't even a member of the squad. Am I making sense? Do you smell what J-Boogie is cooking? What team wouldn't love to add an arm of Dotel's caliber to their roster in the heat of a pennant race? This is big. Just be healthy. Knock on wood.
Oh yeah, the Yanks have 2 more of these deals in the pipeline: Matsui and Sheffiled aren't far behind. These are huge shots in the arm. The big question is going to be: who gets sent to C-bus? Oh wait, it's almost September 1st. Nobody has to go. Depth baby. Depth.
Go Yanks.
