Why not? Start with a 7.00 ERA.

Feinsand joins the parade of fools, explaining dubious rationale for the Yankees acquiring Matt Harvey:

"Jordan Montgomery could be out as long as two months with his left elbow strain, and while Domingo German might be an adequate fill-in, the idea of Harvey taking his act across town to the Bronx is too juicy to ignore. There's nothing Harvey would love more than to prove the Mets wrong by thriving with the Yankees -- and there's nothing the New York media would love more than the ex-Met and tabloid staple remaining in the Big Apple. Doc and Darryl did it; why not the Dark Knight?"

Robin Ventura did it, too. Mike Stanton. Shane Spencer. Rickey Henderson.

Lots of players played for the Yankees and the Mets. Probably 100+ players have played for the Yankees and the Mets.

I don't know why I randomly picked those four, they just popped into my head ... I also don't know why Feinsand randomly picked Doc and Strawberry or what they have to do with Matt Harvey -- just another NY sportswriter living in the past.

"There's nothing Harvey would love more than to prove the Mets wrong by thriving with the Yankees ..."

How about just thriving with the Mets?

That would have been easier.
