The Mets got K-rod and JJ Putz and, most importantly, got rid of Aaron Heilman. A good day for them too.

 

[Tangs Rule]

Don't forget Nady. And the Yanks have supposedly offered AJ 90 million for 5 years. That's crazy.

 

[Domboski]

I'm assuming Nady is going to Play in place of Abreu.

The New York Yankees are set to trade Melky Cabrera to the Milwaukee Brewers for Mike Cameron, according to two major league sources, the New York Daily News reported.
The acquisition of Cameron would give the Yankees a veteran center fielder to hold the position until prospect Austin Jackson is ready for the big leagues.

Cabrera had been seen as the Yankees' center fielder of the future. But he hit .249 with eight home runs and 37 RBIs in 129 games last season before being demoted to Triple A in mid-August.

Cameron hit .243 with 25 HRs and 70 RBIs in 120 games last season in Milwaukee. He missed the first 25 games of the season due to a suspension for violating baseball's banned substances policy.

I can see that too. I'd love to see Jeter batting in the 3 spot. Girardi has alluded to Cano getting a crack at the 3 spot :scratch:

I can see this toward Aug/Sept

1. Damon
2. Jeter
3. Cano
4. Arod
5. Matsui
6. Swisher
7. Posada
8. Nady
9. Cameron/Gardner

I hope this happens because that means Cano is hitting. I think Nady would be hitting higher than Swisher too. Swish hit somewhere around .240 or even less last year. Nady is a solid .270.

 

[Tangs Rule]

No way Swisher bats second with his .216 average. He's a # 8 hitter at best.

Do you think Swisher has a chance to recapture his old self? That would be great if he could. The Yankees lineup doesn't have much protection behind A-Rod as it stands.

 

[Tangs Rule]

I think he's better than .216. I'll be happy with .275. He can still produce but I don't expect more than .265, 15 hr and 70 rbi's.

I like their team if the rotation is CC Sabathia, Burnett, Pettitte, Wang and Chamberlain.

Definitely. It will be nice to see a strong pitching staff like the mid to late 90's. Some of the World Series winning teams hit about .200 during the series and still won. They should have won in 2001 and that team hit less than .200 I think.

 

[Tangs Rule]

I don't think about the 2001 series. That series has been erased from my memory. But I remember the 2000 WS really well!!

They could have a good team, but we'll see how it plays out.

 

[Domboski]

Lmao!

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Getting Nick Swisher was pretty desperate IMO.Couldn't they bring up one of their prospects?No pop in their lineup except A-ROD and Abreu.

 

[Tangs Rule]

Have you never seen Xavier Nady hit?
