I am so sick of hearing from all the ESPN idiots on the radio talk about how this is the second coming of the Babe Ruth trade and we sold our souls to the devil to win it all in 2004 and now it's payback time, the curse is back! If this is payback, big friggin deal . There is no way in hell this comes close to a Ruthian collapse. Thanks for your 4 years Johnny, but sorry, you are replaceable.
Anyways, I don't think he'll fit in well with the Yankees at all. He's one of the loosest guys you'll ever find, and he takes pride in cultivating that image. When he has to rein in his behavior (a la Jason Giambi), he'll be a much different player, and his performance and production will suffer for it.
This is in addition to his noodle arm turning every gapper into a triple, or allowing the Doug Mirabellis of the world to go from first to third at will. (I know he's in the NL now, but I couldn't think of anyone slower!)
