As a setup man for Rivera, I have no problem with this move. He won't have as much pressure, and one thing the Yanks need is that guy who can come in and get a strikeout. If it is Anderson that's going to the Mets, ehh, he's a middle reliever. They're a dime a dozen.

I sent the ESPN.com article to my dad, who is a lifelong Yankees fan from da Bronx. He has lived in MD for awhile so he saw Benitez's tendencies from the start in Baltimore. Let me post his reply.

Re: Yankees close to getting Benitez...
I have this feeling that getting on a good team like the Yanks who are in a pennant race, and with a lot of the pressure removed from not being the closer anymore, he'll be fine. Of course, I could be wrong, but there wasn't much better out there for the Yanks to get, especially someone who doesn't cost much in terms of prospects.Comment

Re: Yankees close to getting Benitez...
Knowing the Mets' luck Benitez might be just fine for the Yanks. It's always one of Steinbrenner's favorite things to turn Met castoffs into succesful Yanks. Who knows. Looks like the Yanks couldn't do worse at this point, plus, he's not closing.Comment
