RustyJohn,

Would you accept this trading being that you are out there in Seattle, Suzuki and Bedard for Matsui, Melky, Ian Kennedy, and Alan Horne?

Why does no one ever factor in Matsui’s no trade clause?

Yeah, that’s ok, though. The Yanks can afford the money, it’s a 1-yr deal, and that money is gone anyway. if they can get something out of him before just cutting him, I say they take it.

Yeah, maybe, but there’s definitely a difference between a 1-run deficit and a 4 run deficit. There’s a lot to be said for keeping the game close.

He’s been in 22 games and allowed runs in 7 of them. (Compare to Farnsworth, 10 games with runs in 26 games and higher leverage situations). His ERA would be respectable if not for the 6 run stinker in the second game of the season. And this is exactly the point I think the Yankees should stress.

Still, 41 H+BB in 26 2/3 IP is really frightening. Though, if he keeps them from scoring, that’s a little better. The question is just how long.

Say what you will about Cashman, but at least he makes moves and gets rid of players he can get rid of* that aren’t producing. Out here in Seattle I remain perplexed by the Mariners keeping Jose Vidro as their DH, Sexson as their 1st baseman and Ibanez- three people they can DFA or trade and clear up roster spots for younger guys.

*Waiting for the obligatory Pavano/Igawa/et al comments- key words here being “he can get rid of”. Hawkins was low-cost, low risk pick-up to help with a suspect bullpen, not a guy he shelled out a 40 million posting fee for.
