I am not sure that this move actually helps the Yankees any on the field.

I think his defense is better than Spencer or Vander Wal, his arm and the ground he covers.

Williams in center has been getting bad jumps on balls lately [ :-^) ], and maybe Modesi can help him out in center.

They sure don't need Mondesi to boost their power.

The Boston radio announcers said that the Yanks were the only team to ask Toronto about Mondesi, and looking at his stats, that isn't a surprise.

Yeah I know, but just how big of an impact can a RF's defense actually be? Can it be worth about 100 OPS points? I doubt it. And I bet they could coax an OPS out of the guys they have, or from someone in the minors or available for a heck of a lot less, that would be about 100 points higher than Mondesi.
