His bat is supposed to be SO good, though, I ask the board: Does it matter to you? Would you acquire him just for the bat, and if he can't hack it at C just shift him to 1B/DH?
Look at what the NY hype machine has made of Derek Jeter.

Hell, look at what it made of Melky Cabrera.

It is not exclusive to their major league roster. Yankees prospects are just as hyped as their major league counterparts - remember when Ian Kennedy was so good that he couldn't be traded for Johan Santana?

Be very VERY cautious when trading for Yankee or Bosox prospects.
