Pitchers like him are easily replaceable (just look at Oakland's bullpen) but players with Rodriguez experience arent readily available. When has Farnsworth been better than a league average 7th inning guy?

BTW - Think the Mets wish they had signed Loshe?

It is a very good trade for the Yanks. Don't forget that they tried to almost give Farnsworth away last year with no avail. Now at least they got someone who can contribute to the team. Molina is a good backup, but he isn't the answer for a team trying to make a run.
