IF. My comments were directed at people that think Granderson is the sole answer and Melky moves to LF and the DH spot is open to give guys days off...I assumed you were one of those people. 86w183 –

They have very similar numbers. And in terms of Granderson's strikeouts a lot of good players strikeout a lot. The granderson trade was a good one.

Haha, I would bet the farm on that one. But I would rather have Granderson -- a guy who has the potential to hit 30+ HR's in NYS, has speed, and can cover a lot of ground in Death Valley, rather than Melky Cabrera. Plus he's "cheap" and unless A-Jax turns into a superstar, we come out ahead. TR-

He was reportedly the #1 prospect in all of baseball at the time. He may be a decent ML player right now, but he has in no way come anywhere near what he was supposed to be. -- Delmon Young never had the plate discipline Montero has shown nor his contact ability. .34 BB:K to .5 Young's BB%: 9% -> 4% - >4% not a good trend Montero BB%: 9% -> 6.5% -> 7.4% Don't make me percentilze their K rate.

Delmon Young never had the plate discipline Montero has shown nor his contact ability. .34 BB:K to .5

Young’s BB%: 9% -> 4% – >4% not a good trend
Montero BB%: 9% -> 6.5% -> 7.4%

Don’t make me percentilze their K rate.

Montero is a great prospect, let's let him become a great big leauger before we put him on a plaque in monument park. Again I'm not saying to trade him, especially for a one year rental of Halladay. I just think its funny how a couple of good years in the minors translates to hall of famer for some fans. Well said mark, well said.
