I have to say yes simply because Greinke will not be wearing a Yankees uniform Opening Day. New York went into the offseason looking for starting pitching, and the bottom line is they didn't get it.
I know Greinke wasn't particularly thrilled about the idea of going to New York, but from what I understand as long as he won it was a non-issue. If the Yankees go into 2011 as they are right now, I don't see a reason why they won't finish behind the White Sox, Tigers and Angels in the wildcard (assuming the Twins and Rangers are leading their divisions).

I wouldn't want to give up Montero, Nunez, and Betances for someone who probably can't even handle the pressure of New York. I would give up whatever the Mariners want from our farm for King Felix though, lol but that isn't likely to happen.
I'd be fine with a starting rotation of CC - Pettite - Hughes - Burnett - Joba/Nova
If we don't get Felix, unless Joba is the set up man, he should be a starter because it's completely pointless to have him as a 6th or 7th inning guy, but hey that's just me. I want to see what Joba and Nova can do in the rotation for a full season, (for Joba another full season).

I don't think Greinke would have held up well in NY - sort of like a Randy Johnson situation. Some people just cannot handle it, and it seemed like Greinke knew he couldn't.

Greinke's battles with anxiety and depression are very well documented over the course of his career. The Yankee's had to have figured that into Kansas City's asking price. The pressures if Kansas City don't even compare to the pressure's of New York.
