Theres too many reports swirling to make sense of Yankee plans ATM. Half are saying Melky is now expendible and set to be traded at some point, some are saying Melky and Granderson are going to split time, and some are saying Granderson/Melky/Swish is the OF. Who knows, at this point. All speculation.

I don't think Whitey is lame, of course I prefer the Ford version though. But I'd say Rollie Fingers is much higher on the basassery scale.

And even if the Yanks do get "bent over" as you say, it'd be hard to get too upset about acquiring one of the best pitchers in the game. Even the most lopsided of deals for Halladay would...

he's going to MLB Network apparently

If anything this says a lot about what the FO thinks of our outfield depth in the minors - which featured a bunch of players graduating from the DR leagues and some showing lots of progress. Eduardo Sosa and Nunez all saw significant time playing in the GCL. DeAngelo Mack, Justin Milo and Neil Medchill all were standouts in the Penn league. Abraham Almonte, from all reports I read, picked up his game in the second half at Tampa. And Slade is...

However, I'd think the salary difference would be taken into consideration (Doc would get 100 mill plus). Also, we couldn't get Halladay for just Austin and kennedy. But clearly, even though he's older, Hallady is a far better pitcher than Granderson is an outfielder.

Nice, under the radar move by the A's acquiring Jake Fox from the Cubs. Yeah, he's 27, but his game lends itself to longevity. -X-
