Understandably, there are still some fans a little bitter and/or disappointed by this move. Even though I am 25 and have been following the New York Yankees very closely over the past decade-plus, Jesus Montero was the first prospect that I latched on to from the low minors to the Major Leagues and all the way through his trade.

The thing about Mason Williams is that if he pans out they way they hope he can replace Curtis Granderson as he's about to hit FA and that will save the Yankees a ton of money to throw at elite FA pitchers that off-season.
