That was purely an agent trying to jack the price. Just like we never wanted Lowell for first base. We were never interested in Cameron. That was purely an agent trying to jack the price.

Hitting .180 in September totally killed his offensive #'s - its all stuff you people know but just don't want to admit. His situational stats were better than Hideki Matsui's - Melk for Marte? There are worse deals I guess, but anyone who thinks Melky has peaked as a player in 2006 needs to stop worshiping Bill James and just take a pill and give the kid another year or two. Ben,

Lol , I am the world's worst speller but know thats wrong! As far as what you said regarding Melky , I agree but like most fans......if they are going to trade him it better be soon as his worth is to The yanks not the rest of the leauge...he would suffer in another lineup. I love his arm and enthusiasm and hope he continues to develop but fear he won't. His defensive skills are better suited for a corner outfielder but his lack of power makes him a liability at RF or LF. Hell , if he had decent base running skills , which he doesn't , you could live with him in left...in THIS lineup..but that isn't the case.

Without Melky you have to play Damon in center and Matsui in left. I think Damon is still a decent outfielder but hes a better than decent outfielder in Left opposed to Center. Not to mention Damon and Matsui both seem to be breaking down. I wouldn't close the book on Melky yet though with Girardi at the helm who knows whats possible out of Melky.

Most of us believe that Melky won't get much better than he is and his trade value may never be higher? So if he is going to be traded it better be soon as he may never be worth more.
