Too true. That was a good trade for the Yankees. I am not the biggest Cashman fan but that move and even the Pudge move last year (even though it did not really work out for us) were both good moves.

Chisox thought enough of him to send one of their better if not best pitching prospect for him. Don't want to be too optimistic (but I will be), and I see a parallel with him and O'neil. Check out O'neil's stats when the Yanks got him. Lou wanted Paulie to hit homers, Ozzie had Swisher leading off. Me thinks the change of scenery is going to do Nick good.

But here's the other question: what is this large, mainstream school doing playing this tiny, specialized academy for girls with dyslexia and short attention spans anyway? What did you really think was going to happen when you scheduled this game, Texas High School officials?

Sounds like the trade was the wake up call he needed. Yeah, if it works out for them that doesn’t mean it would have worked out for us. Sounds like the trade was the wake up call he needed.

We also gave them a pile of pitchers we didn't care much about. Two of them got put into Pittsburgh's major league rotation. That whole organization sucks top of bottom. It doesn't take all that much to stand out there. Think about Pittsburgh’s system. We also gave them a pile of pitchers we didn’t care much about.
