Yankees accept.  Like Ruano's bat for my lineup, just what we needed... once he gets healthy.  And like the catcher swap since I am not in need of a catcher on the MLB level right now, but will be in a couple of years when Lewis is ready to step right in.

We are good with this, gives us a bat for the lineup now and two specs we do like. We think Arnedo can play as well at catcher as Lewis, hopefully, and we think his bat will be better.
