His UZR are similar to David's numbers. He is still projected as an above-average defender (nout counting his rag arm). He is also sitll an excellent baserunner, and of course, an excellent hitter for a CF'er. Boston does not like his defense as much as the numbers.

Overall, the Yankees paid about twice what he is worth, which is not bad for the Yankees. While I am sure it is worth it for them (they paid like 4 mil per marginal win and a marginal win may be worth close to 10 mil in revenue for them), as usual, they could have gotten more value for that same money in a combination of some other players...
