The prospect-depleted Yanks weren’t really in a position to make a big move in 2005.

With Wang and Cano on the active roster, and with Navarro gone in the Johnson deal over the winter, the cupboard was pretty bare.

You need the disclaimer about the Yankees having exactly 1 prospect in 2005. Hughes.

Tim Kurkjian on ESPN's live SportsCenter just now:

Q: Will Washburn end up in the Bronx? A: "My guess is no... He's good, and the Yanks want him, but also keep in mind that the Yankees asked about Brian Bannister but weren't willing to give up anything in return; that's pretty much how the Yankees are doing things these days, they're not giving up their best young prospects, and it's going to take somebody pretty good to get Jarrod Washburn away from the Mariners, not just because of how well he's pitched lately and the fact that the Mariners aren't out of it yet, but I had a GM tell me yesterday that he thought Washburn was going to sign long term with the Mariners, therefore Seattle shouldn't trade him. Now, Seattle is listening, of course, because it's possible they could get two young players for him and help rebuild the team and then sign him in the offseason anyway, but again, if the Yankees aren't willing to give up a pretty good piece, they're not gonna get Jarrod Washburn from Seattle.

Oh, and if you’re going to lobby for Phil Hughes to the rotation, don’t bother. I’m sure he’d be fine too, but he’s in the bullpen. Unfortunately that’s not changing, so he’s not an option until Girardi or Cash announce otherwise.

It would be naive to think such things don’t play a role in these transactions. Plenty of deals go through/die based on personal relationships, why not the team you root for?

Mitre is a #5 and he’s got a good sinker. A lot of the hits I’ve seen were grounders hit at nobody. He’s not getting shelled out there. He got pulled from his last start way early, but it is what it is. I’ve only seen a couple of balls hit hard off of him and both stayed in the park by a good margin. I’m not sure what you expect out of a #5, but Mitre (thus far) has done fine.

I agree, but it makes good board fodder. I personally think his job is toast no matter what he gets for Doc though.
