And that is surprising considering they have a ton of catchers including this STUD in Jesus Montero who many say his bat is already ready for the big leagues at 20.

That's just it...KC already has a stud at catcher in Wil Myers who some say is as good
as Jesus Montero...The Yankees have TWO catchers in the top ten!

I had read he played those positions too...but is he decent at those position enough to get significant playing time?
It's the Yankee way. They don't hold on to prospects much anymore. They trade them away for veterans.
Looks like the Yankees are running low on desirable minor league prospects, with only one ranked in the top 100.
From ScoutingBook.com:
Our 14 Top Yankees Prospects for 2010
Current Overall SB ranking for 2010 shown in parentheses.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Jesus Montero
C, NYY (#2 overall)
The Yankees are committed to Jorge Posada for another couple of years, but after that they're hoping that a fast-growing rookie can take over their young pitching staff... assuming he doesn't outgrow the position...
2. Austin Romine C, NYY (#136 overall)
3. Andrew Brackman RHP, NYY (#141 overall)
4. Ivan Nova RHP, NYY (#168 overall)
5. Slade Heathcott OF, NYY (#171 overall)
6. Manny Banuelos LHP, NYY (#204 overall)
7. Humberto Sanchez RHP, NYY (#209 overall)
8. Dellin Betances RHP, NYY (#283 overall)
9. Greg Golson OF, NYY (#304 overall)
10. Romulo Sanchez RHP, NYY (#327 overall)
11. Alan Horne RHP, NYY (#367 overall)
12. Zach McAllister RHP, NYY (#371 overall)
13. Jeremy Bleich LHP, NYY (#402 overall)
14. Bradley Suttle 3B, NYY (#409 overall)
No backtracking....it was based on my opinon. Your splitting hair because we are stating something OTHER than worshiping the Yankees....is ALSO understandable.
LOL don't even admit that you said two different things...

Obviously, being a Red Sox fan I'm thrilled that Lee isn't bringing his talents to the Bronx. BUT the combination of the money he left on the table AND having a chance to wear the most famous uniform in sports is rather perplexing!

I admitted it on the fact that they were based on my opinion. I said it...but you are doing your usual hair-splitting spin job to avoid the fact that your are bent out of shape because it's a fact that the Yanks have done about nothing to really improve your team other teams have completely left the Yanks in the dust so far.
But...please...don't hurt yourself...
Why? The Yankees are not the only soda in the refrigerator.... It's nice to see the someone ELSE has out Yanked the Yankees for a change.
Because some times, it's just not about the money....

I agree, but when you combine said money with the aura and tradition of putting on the pinstripes, well I just thought that magnet would be too strong!
Out here in the blogosphere, there have been many comparisons made of Lee's decision to the LeBron free-agency situation of just a few months ago.
Does he stay where he is for very good money and be the primary star on a good team, does he go to New York and the big stage for very good money, or does he go to an unexpected team surrounded by an excellent supporting cast??
Sounds to me the only thing missing is the ESPN 'Decision"....

Hey cosmo, did you hear? This is the first time this has EVER happened!
Sandra
LOL apparently this comes from some imagined knowledge base because I never said anything remotely resembling this. All I said was it's a little premature to make breathless comments like there is NO WAY the Yankees even win one playoff series next year.
But you already knew that...
Sandra
Then you combine...IF you are the highest paid player on the Yankees, then the team fails to win a championship....though you had a great year and did everything you could OTHER than sell peanuts or have an ERA under 4....and get blamed for not doing enough....I can see why you would not want to go there.
