Along with Hudson, Shields, Price, Schilling, new HOF pitchers Martinez and Johnson, Wells, Clemens, etc., etc. Is that how we're measuring a player now? How many times they've been traded?

You can blame Cashman for making a dumb trade but that means the Dodgers and Marlins GM's are dumb too. <br /><br />Eovaldi was traded for Hanley Ramirez, to get you must receive. Andrew Heaney was traded twice in a day and if they want to trade him a third time I'd take him in NY no questions asked. <br /><br />When you're 30 and being traded a lot then there might be smoke, he's still young.

Shame on you!!! I have answered that question numerous times on here so I choose to get my head of the toilet and not be repetitive.

Pray for small miracles !<br />After the examination he won't be billed. Nothing there, devoid of cerebral synapsis.<br /><br />These past few weeks of baseball trades, has been a godsend for the Yankees'.<br />Young power relief pitchers galore, young athletic infielders, a young power starter<br />who may be the next Nolan Ryan....and its not over. Brian Cashman, I feel is poised,<br />to push the red button on a true blockbuster trade. My Irish bones feel it. <br /><br />Yet, fairy tale Hansel is still stuck in reverse. The toilets is half empty ...etc. You must have<br />a vision. An opening day dream that appeals to you ?<br /><br />For once, Hansel of children's books, if you dare............What would you have <br />done differently the past few weeks, and what would be a player move, you suggest as we head toward spring training ? Now batting...Hansel. Let it rip, son.<br /><br />Another one of these remarks, like this from you, and I'm going over the Goethals Bridge.<br /><br />........." After the season is over I'm telling you all right now I will be the one who tells all of you I told you so. We gave up way too much " .....on, and on, and on.<br /><br />Time to step up, what is your platform ?<br />patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008211991899947734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-70201498858183619482015-01-05T20:47:00.239-05:002015-01-05T20:47:00.239-05:00I know I had to check my headI know I had to check my headKen Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-3722708401524840312015-01-05T19:50:41.026-05:002015-01-05T19:50:41.026-05:00I don't think so Daniel, last I heard (read) P...I don't think so Daniel, last I heard (read) Pirela is faster and does steal bases.<br />But, unlikely to be proven right...going from memory is not the best way to go.<br />Refsy is a bit better athlete, so says the reports and could be a bit like Cano as far as fielding. But I think as an all around player, I like Pirela as being a steady hitter, with less down times.<br />Bottom line, either one will be better than what we had in 2014. I want them both to go North with the team.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-90971007533142829692015-01-05T19:38:01.496-05:002015-01-05T19:38:01.496-05:00What?

Spring training will decide...I believe!<br />4--Beltran could (I hope) do 30 HRs but, only if he comes to spring training...willing and WANTING to!<br />5--Tex will be Tex, still can't hit the ball diving in on him and swings over it as his swing is an upper cut...less time in the strike zone. Defense is still his best suit, but low avg., maybe 30 HRs!<br />6--Didi, I think he could be a ok hitter, good enough for a SS. But, only if they let him play everyday. <br />7--Don't think they get in, unless everyone stays healthy and plays as their cards show...or close enough!<br /><br />Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.com
