Vasquez gives them a solid guy to get them 200+ innings and keeps Hughes in the pen (or Joba if they wise up). For the next 3 years it should be a big positive for NY. After that, who knows.

Actually Vazquez is a free agent at the end of next year, but if the Yanks sign him to an extention then its definitely a positive for the future.
What Yanks fans don't realize, that the Yanks made Cabrera available after they acquired Granderson. A sign that they will target. DeRosa, Holliday, Bay, Damon or Nady through free agency. Cubs inquired and the Yanks asked for Big Z.
This is a good deal for the Yanks because he can go 7 innings a game and rest the bullpen while limiting baserunners. He still only average 1.28 baserunners in his first stint. He'll be better this time around.
