This is going take me some time to figure out. Pineda is a stud. Young with a 1.1 whip, that doesn't come around often. Sad to see my boy go. We never got to know him.
stud? who is he
after all these years this goes down??
i don't know who this pitcher is but he better be the 2nd coming of christ
i post on the board of a band that doesn't exsist anymore .......i need my head examined.......

You haven't heard of him? He was an All-Star last season.
He has #1 starter potential. I don't know if he's going to pan out exactly that way, but as long as he's solid it should be fine with the lineup he's got behind him.
No risk in a 1 year deal, ds. They know what their budget is, obviously not going to stop them from future moves since it's one year.
Early verdict is the yanks won the trade. Everyone here knows how much i liked montero, definitely very sad to see him go, but this is the kind of trade he can be given up in, a trade for a good very young pitcher they will have under control for 5 years.

And now it opens up for the signing of Pujols (too late) or Prince to fill the 1b/3b/dh rotation.
if they were gonna get Pineda why go after Kuroda?
Money to burn i guess. Nothing wrong with spending money on one year deals. Tonights developments are much more preferable to a 4 year deal for Jackson.
I love Montero, but I think this is a good deal. Also kinda like the Kuroda deal. He's ok, not great, but can be a very serviceable # 4 or 5. They def. had a need in the rotation. I like the 1 year part of kuroda the most. They're serious about getting under 189 million in the next few years. if they do, when they inevitably go back over the "Cap" the tax is @ 14%, not 45-50 it would be if they fail to get under for just 1 season
Even > when you already have dh position spoken for over the next 7 or so years.
Phenomenal trade. I do not care if Montero turns into David Ortiz
Yankees have had one of the best offenses. They lose because they lack pitching.
They also didn't hit last postseason. Montero only played 1 playoff game and did well. If he had played all 5 games and did just as well and the yanks advanced. Would this trade go down?

then trade AJ and eat up 10 million of his contract. I get the feeling they will trade him.
I don't think they'll trade Burnett, that contract is hard to eat up. I can't see them eating up more than $8 million, and I doubt a team will go for that. I could see them trading Hughes for a bat, but I'm not expecting another move soon.

I am really upset to see montero go. I was looking forward to watch him hit for a long time. That said, I do think this is the kind of trade you make for him.
I think this team went from a playoff contender to a world series contender in a hour. Strong rotation, fucking stacked bullpen and great offense. Can't ask for a much more balanced team.
I hope this isn't the case since it will mean the yanks failed miserably on joba and hughes but I can see Aj and Freddy battling for the 5th spot and Hughes heading to the bullpen.
Just fucking think, the yanks rotation in 2013 and beyond could be CC and 4 legit pitchers in their 20's. fuck me thats awesome.

I think Kuroda is better than a 4 or 5. As I said, his numbers are going to jump in the AL but he has been about as consistent as a pitcher gets since he came to the US.
They better win the World Series this year, otherwise I'm going to be very pissed off about them trading away Montero. They wouldn't accept trades that included Montero before, but now they do. Makes no sense to me. This Pineda kid better deliver this year.

Well, the rotation doesn't seem like that much of a problem now.

Jay Buhner called...he was laughing.
He has #1 starter potential. I don't know if he's going to pan out exactly that way, but as long as he's solid it should be fine with the lineup he's got behind him.
He's supposed to be a future top notch starter potential. People were saying they might get rid of Felix because Pineda would replace him.
I think this was a waste. Just my opinion. AJ is going to be the majors highest paid mop up man.
montero is gonna be a monster hitter
time will tell

This team just got a lot fucking better next year.
#2 or 3 SP > great dh

YANKS GOT SOME PITCHING DEPTH, believe it or not.
Imagine Fielder. Offer 2/$50 mil and see what happens...Get below the $189 mil by 2014.
Pena...ehhh! Prince yeah!
