TRAVIS HAFNER IS A YANKEE...

And we let Raul Ibanez go... why?

Look, we'll have a more in depth analysis on this toss up between Travis Hafner and Raul Ibanez later. I will have analysis, as well as one of our writers here on BYB, because everyone in Yankeeland is scratching their head on this one.  That being said, I don't want to dilute the fact that we DO now have a lefty bat with power in Travis Hafner.

According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, HERE, the deal with Hafner is a 1 year deal, a low base salary plus incentives. He'll be the DH. There is no doubt Hafner will be effective in the Bronx. I like him, I always have although, I would have liked him better if it was 2004.

Welcome Travis Hafner... don't get hurt.
