Comments on: Yankees trade for Brewers OF http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/02/04/yankees-trade-for-brewers-of/ A New York Yankees blog by Sam Borden, Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Sun, 14 Mar 2010 03:56:58 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Brian http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/02/04/yankees-trade-for-brewers-of/comment-page-9/#comment-656278 Brian Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:53:16 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/?p=6615#comment-656278 Chase Wright accumulated more wins than anyone else on the Yankees (majors or minors) over the past 3 years. He knows how to pitch and has some talent, and is a lefty. The problem from what I read is his fastball sits in the high 80's-90mph. He has been passed on the depth chart by many guys and probably would never get his chance in NY. That said, he may and I hope he does work out nicely for the Brewers as a back of the rotation starter. It looks like the Yankees got a useful piece back. The guy lead the Sally league in batting average and on base percentage last year, and by the way also playing against him in the sally league last year were Austin Romine and Jesus Montero, 2 of the Yankees best (top 5) position prospects. So while at a slightly older age, to ourperform those guys with the stick is no small feat.

My goodness you have come out of the blocks in a sprint. This is a great blog with very, very, astute baseball fans. Just a few suggestions... 1)Do not make your post about the Red Sox. If it is relevant to the current discussion then have it. 2)Check your emotions at the door. 3) Do not make your post about the Red Sox. 4) Discuss any baseball topic and CB, SJ44, M, Wave, Randy, Fredo(he has been missing of late) Pat, Green Beret, Joe-LI, Al BK, Rob NY, Doreen,Nick SF(take a peek at his picks against the line and it may make you some dough) and of course Rebecca.. and so on will be more than pleased to engage in great conversation. Sorry for forgetting others. 5) Do not make your posts about the Red Sox 6) Lastly, Take a page out of Woody Allen's book. Self deprication far exceeds self promotion. Again, just suggestions, not advice. Advice is expected to be taken and suggestions are from experience... Respectfully -dennis Sully.
