Top talent? As I said in the chat, Iwahashi looks like Livan Hernandez with more K ability. How Livan keeps getting a job with a 5.00+ ERA for the past how many seasons is beyond me. You might be able to make up the cash, but NYY also has a large revenue sharing bill each season. Iwahashi isn't bad, but this translates into two first round picks, a second, and a third.
