Peavy would require the Yankees to raise his package to that of Santana's. Peavy's overall stuff is barely above average. He will not survive in AL East for long. Brackman and Betances have the best pure stuff in the farm system. One of them could be a future Ace. That package would only work for Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain together!!!!!

That's how it should have been. Rodriguez? He's not even among the best 5 closers in the AL. Lee should be MVP too. Dead on Pete – Lee, Halladay, Rivera. That’s how it should have been. Rodriguez?

How is that possible? He seems like such a level headed, sensitive guy who really manages his players well when not throwing them under the bus. One of these days I expect Guillen to turn into El Indio from "A Few Dollars More" and break out a pocket watch he stole from Magglio Ordonez after sodomizing him. Jay Mariotti will then have to hunt him down and kill him. Uncomfortable with Ozzie Guillen? How is that possible?

The team with Scott Brosius and Paul O'Neill did quite a bit better than the one with Giambi and Arod. I like this trade. Guys like Nady and Swisher make the roster look more like 1998 than 2006, and IMO that's a good thing. Save the big bucks for pitching.

I'd love to have Tex, but realistcialy were not going to have Tex CC and Peavy on our team..

Ahh.. Cashman has NOT said that Cano is off limits once. If you didn't notice, he's been mentioned in trade rumors since July. And if you don't want Peavy, who do you want in the rotation next year?? Your absolute idiocracy astounds me. Are you saying that you would rather have .219 hitter extroardinare Nick Swisher at 1st than a bonified star who will produce at a much higher level. What Cashman says right now will change after he assesses how he can put the best team together and I can tell you that's a team that will leave Cano out. Because who wouldn't love a nonchalant second baseman who's more concerned about looking cool than actually playing baseball? That is what you are getting with Cano!
