If true; as a Yankees fan; I don't really mind this trade. Although I hate giving up a prospect such as Austin Jackson, getting a proven major leaguer who is only 29 years old with power and speed such as Granderson gives me 3-4 years of a better center fielder than we have now. And we still have Hughes; Joba etc to go after Doc with if we so desire. Plus, not a budget buster as Curtis is reasonably priced. Look for Andy Petitte to return soon to the pinstripes
