The only guy I don’t trade there is Montero. If the Blue Jays want a catcher they can have Romine.

Dear Cashman, You already know this, but you should not trade Joba, Phil, Montero, or Jackson.

I skipped the comments, but I don’t see how this is a good article or brilliant insight…. you don’t think the Yankees have actually discussed and weighed all these things? You think cashman was sitting around and read Olney’s article and was like… hey, thats a great idea, I should actually find out what people think Joba and Hughes will become, and then I can decide whether or not to trade them….

gimme a break.

You’re basing this on what, Damon leaving?

If that’s your argument, Pettitte’s a free agent as well who may not come back either. Then you might need both, no?

And no, I don’t think we have *4* front-line starters with Joba and Hughes in the rotation.

No thanks. What says Figgins can double Damon’s defense, he hasn’t played left in a while. And he’s an average hitter. Also, if he did those things you say in 2010, what about 2012-2014? That will be a bad contract no matter where he ends up.

Doc is great, but not a must right now. They do, of course, watch what Theo might do; that’s just the way it is. Not saying they need to react, but just to acknowledge. Considering anyone but Jeter to Mo in the MVP question seems ludicrous here. I like the comparison of Olney’s article to the head of a studio calling for a meeting of the minds. And I always cringe at the thought of the phrase “baseball people.” Were the NL to be Doc’s priority, this would take on less import; so yes, Boston is a consideration. And I wouldn’t mind Figgins playing left next season. He can replace some of Damon’s offense while doubling his defense.

We should thank Joe Borowski for that season, if that doesn’t prove saves are useless, nothing will.

Yeah, it might be the #1 pick when picks are cost controlled, so it’ll have a ton of value. The league is going to have to step in and do something about the Raiders soon.

Yeah, Mo forbid the Yankees end up stuck with two #3-type starters who are under control for 4 or 5 years and the Yankees have to save their financial resources for a free agent front line guy who doesn’t cost them those two players.

That would suck.
