Yanks Make Meaningless Trade
The Yanks just acquired Fernando Martinez for RHP Charles Basford. Martinez was once a big time Met prospect, but has been but for the 2011 season, a below average major leaguer with the Mets and Houston. So what does this mean, other than that Cash might have been bored? It probably means Zoilo Almonte who was just called up today, will be sent back to AAA. And it will also mean that SI will have to find another pitcher to take Basford's place on the roster. Beyond that it's meaningless, and probably won't help.

I would think Almonte stays in NY and FM plays AAA.
I also think Almonte stays in NY. Martinez is just a filler for AAA. Last night, they started an OF of Cody Grice, who until a few days ago was in low A Charleston. The LF and RF were backup INF. Mesa, Bosch are both injured, and they need bodies badly there. That's one reason they recently plucked Randy Ruiz from the Mexican league a couple of days ago.
