Willie Randolph to the Yankees? A blessing in disguise?

With Torre finally having enough of the politics from the Tampa Group that controls the Yankees and signs guys like Carl Pavano...could the Yankees turn to Willie Randolph?

Star-divide

If so, wouldn't that be great for the Mets? We could get rid of Willie Randolph, let the Yankees deal with his ineptness with the bullpen AND possibly get something out of it from the Yankees. This is as win-win as it gets.

To be honest, if we got rid of Randolph we would have addition by subtraction! Maybe Omar held onto Willie gambling the Yankees would want his services.

best idea ever
It's conceivable the Yanks might even want to employ the calm-eyed True Yankee Willie so badly they would consider trading a player for him rather than just taking his contract off the Mets' hands.  Not a top player, obviously, but I could see prying a bullpen arm or a fourth outfielder from them.  I hope a Wilpon is reading this.

Yeah
The only thing I'm unclear on is where the "disguise" is?

ask the Yankees for Melky Cabrera
and then spin Cabrera to Washington for Manny Acta.  Problem solved!
Fire Willie Randolph!

Couldn't be worse than Mattingly.

If you want to enrage a Yankees fan, ask them how the Yankees have fared in the playoffs any time Donny Baseball has been in uniform, playing or coaching. It's a grim statistic. Even the idea of a "Mattingly Curse" makes Yanks fans act like computers on Star Trek when you ask them "What is love?"
