Pudge for Farnsworth

No Jorge Posada, no problem. The Yankees acquired Ivan Rodriguez from Detroit for Kyle Farnsworth.The move certainly helps New York, but Farnsworth's addition in Detroit is interesting. If Fernando Rodney and Joel Zumaya can't hold down closing duties, the Tigers would have the option of going to Farnsworth or back to Todd Jones.

Fantasy Impact: Gut feeling? The Tigers will give Rodney, Zumaya (if he's healthy) and Farnsworth opportunities to close. Jones will be the fall-back option if nobody wins the job. He's at least experienced, and only blew three saves this year, even if he was erratic.
