Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to trade Murphy as he is blocked forever by multiple players.Best thing for him and us. <br /><br />Roller is doing well but he is extremely replaceable and will be closer to 30 when Teix's contract runs out. He is pretty old for a prospect. Greg Bird is more of the future at first base than Roller is, not that I exactly want to lose him but I wouldn't be upset if it brought us a quality player back. <br /><br />Pirela and Ramirez go hand in hand. Ramirez is a "failed" starter moved to the bullpen. How many of those right handed variety relievers do we have? We could lose Ramirez and not blink an eye. Pirela has an adequate, not great, bat at second base. Problem is he is playing corner outfield. His bat sucks for corner outfield and places him behind Ramon Flores, Adonis Garcia, and Zoilo.

Wheeler, Solarte and unnamed players?<br />We are going to lose D-Rob, Kuroda, CC(?), Ichiro, Roberts, Jeter, at years end.<br />Replace them with; Lee (in place of CC) and Tulowitzki (in place of Jeter), Solarte in place of Roberts, Wheeler in place of Johnson. What about Brett, Dellin,, D-Rob and Kuroda?<br />I too, want both players, but at what point is it too much in personnel?<br />Everyone bitches about the Farm system now, this would set it back another three to five years or more. IF it can be done without all those players fine, but otherwise I say....no way! ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-59843943635274653962014-07-20T18:20:34.662-04:002014-07-20T18:20:34.662-04:00If the Phillies want the Yankees to take on all of...If the Phillies want the Yankees to take on all of his salary, then we wouldn't have to give up much of anything when it comes to talent.

I'm thinking guys like Gardner, Betances, Murphy, as well as other top prospects.

In the New york ...I CAN NOT SHAKE THIS....feeling.<br /><br />In the New york area, there are a ton of rumors. Most are dumb, and pushed forward by deranged<br />Met fans....who when all is said, and done....are mean bastards / idiots.<br />They lose for ten years straight, then win 8 games out of ten, and they know everything.<br />But they never shut up !Such fools......my guess, 98 % voted for Obama. Fools.<br /><br />My take, and the reason for this post. It lingers with me......Try this out.<br />I see the Yankees making two big moves.<br />Making the blockbuster for ...Troy Tulowitzki. Putting him at third, next to Jeter, for this season.<br />The other, taking on part of a big contract for a pitcher. Start with Cliff Lee.<br /><br />How does Tulowitzki, and Lee, change things ?<br />That's how I see it.<br />patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008211991899947734noreply@blogger.com
