Wow, Buster Olney just said if Damon comes back we’re gonna look to flip Swisher. Then Jason Stark said KC called to see if Gardner was available. If Damon comes back something’s gotta give, and for sure, I’d rather see Swisher or Gardner go before Melky. I still can’t believe I was hearing “trade Melky” yesterday…
=====================================
It’s wishing & hoping.
….however – no one wants Melky.

Zero interest.

No one can even come up with a hypothetical trade of equal value for him !

Rather see Swisher or Gardner be traded than Melky ???

(must be a Boston Fan – or someone with a cute little man-crush on Melky – cannot be a baseball reason behind that wish)

I often get the feeling that people make comments without having read, listening to or watching the things they comment on.

Wow…West Wing was my favorite tv program as I have the entire series on dvd. What next you say?? How about monitoring the Halladay situation and see where it leads. How about taking a chance on Sheets if other options of getting starter doesn’t make sense. How about a lead off hitter to replace Damon should he not return. How about bring back Matsui as our DH to provide protection for A-Rod. If that option is not viable how about a super utility guy to give Jeter, A-Rod and Teixeira a blow so they can perform at the highest level toward the end of the season. And last but not least, what about Wang???? A two times 19 game winner should deserve another look.

Cabrera is a guy with some hitting talent, no question about it. He became a much more versatile offensive threat as his hitting from the right side developed in 2010.

I expected him to have a decent 2009, and he did – would have liked to have seen a bit better OBP from him, but based on what he did in 2009, I expect to see that raised in 2010 – in addition to a further increase in power.

Perhaps Cash’s best performance as a straight faced liar came when he anointed Bubba Crosby as his starting CF… and then signed Damon.

Compared to that, Cash suggesting that signing Teix would be sheer fantasy sounds almost, well, believable.

Cash-man is waiting to pounce.

Cash is quite slick, the “boy next door” appearance notwithstanding. He has to be for rather obvious reasons. He will do whatever he has to do to put the best team on the field and will not show his hand in so doing.

“But he fits the bill for the 4OF/pinch runner”

Pinch runner- absolutely

OF? He’s played 17 games in LF and 0 games in RF. He’s a replacement CF.

If you think Melky is going to get too expensive, that means he’ll be putting up the numbers to do so. If he’s as bad as some people here seem to think, why would they pay him more?
