"The talk of the Yankees swinging a trade for Giancarlo Stanton was inevitable, but it's not likely for a number of reasons, writes Chad Jennings of The Journal News. For starters, the Marlins' willingness to talk doesn't signal that they're looking to give Stanton away for chump change. The Yankees also might not be able to afford the kind of prospect dump that such a deal would require".
I am praying they keep him until at least mid season so the Yankees prospects can develop a bit. No shot they are taking a bunch of A Ball prospects for him. Going to need guys close to the big leagues and the Yankees don't have many of them at the moment. Yankees just don't have what it takes to get it done right now but might in 8 months or so.
Ricky Nolasco
Henderson Alvarez
Wade LeBlanc
Nathan Wovaldi

Now we know those cheap fuckers want to dump Nolasco and the Yankees have more than enough upper level arms to get this deal done. We can give them 3 major league ready arms that would all have a legitimate shot at making that shit ass staff, toss in Gardner and our number one prospect and make it happen.

Dude, that would never get it done, ever. Just because they have a chance to make a shitty staff doesn't mean they get one of the most promising players in the game in a trade. I can't see how any trade doesn't start with Austin, Sanchez and Campos along with Nova and more, and that is after a good first half from Austin and Sanchez and Campos coming back healthy.
The Rangers have a whole lot more to offer than the Yankees do and that's just one team that you know would be interested. Profar/Olt>>>>>>>>>>>>Anything the Yankees can offer

Meh Olt is a bit overrated wouldn't you say, outside of his late season call up where he was overmatched the dude hasn't even played in aaa yet and he's going to be 25 next year. I would add a few low level prospects to this deal and put it up against anyone else's offer.

But Olt put up pretty moster numbers in Double A when none of the Yankees top prospects have spent any time in Double A. Aside from the prospect in Williams, the rest aside from Gardner (and even he is vastly overrated by Yankees fans) are fringe big leaguers. Why would they trade for fringe players and low level prospects? Basically an slighly above average big leaguer in Gardner, a decent prospect who had an injury and some fringe guys for one of the best young players in the game? I can't see it
I'll say, Olt has a lot better chance to be big a big bat than any of the rest do at being above average big leaguers and that is what you have to get when you strade someone like Stanton. Profar is going to be good too and they have Perez
I do think if Sanchez gets to Trenton early and does well, and Campos comes back healthy, then those two along with maybe someone like Robertson, who is a cheap good big leaguer can start to get it done. I don't see any reason they would want someone like Nova though at this point. I just think the way the Yankees sit right now with injuries and all, they don't have what it takes without absoultely clearing it out. The Banuelos injury really hurt
Edit: Upton is another story though. The pacakge would hurt, but I think they could pull it off if they wanted. And with a lot of picks this year, it could hurt a little less.
.278/.357/.475 over his career for a 25 year old who is a pretty good defender, can steal 20 bags and is under contract for 3 more years and less than $40 mil...I'll take that any day. The dip in power is a bit concerning considering the wrist problem, but I'd take that risk any day.

Some players I'm just not fans off. Can't explain why...just aren't and he's one.
93 years ago today, Yankees formally announced purchase of Babe Ruth from Red Sox. The rest ... is HISTORY!

I wonder if Grady Sizemore could be had for a reasonable price right now. Always liked him.
Just read today that dude isn't gonna be back till mid year and who knows what you get after that. I like him too but minor league contract, if anything
Still can't believe he can't find a job yet with all of the money that was thrown around earlier.
Word...guess teams don't want to lose the draft pick for a reliever. Yanks are more interested in the pick than Soriano, which is great. I like Boras more than most, dude is just doing is job, but it's great to see him fuck up every now and then.

I'm thinking a contract like the team did with Dotel a few years back.

Don't recall the details of that. I wouldn't be opposed to it though, as long as they aren't relying on him.

Sounds like its Yanks or Mets for Scott Hairston.
With Dotel if I remember correctly it was a 2 or 3 year deal where the team basically went in the first year knowing he wasn't goin to picth at all as he rehabbed his elbow or shoulder. In the end it really didn't pan out for the team but they did get him at a reduced annual rate because of the length of the contract.

Ahhh, yeah, just did that with Ardsma as well. I don't know if I would do that since his injuries seem to be chronic. 3 years running he can't stay on the field, this will be 4. Was an awesome player when healthy.
