UPDATE, 10:05 a.m.: Chris Dickerson just walked in. No word on a move.
Brett Gardner LF
Curtis Granderson CF
Mark Teixeira DH
Robinson Cano 2B
Nick Swisher RF
Jorge Posada 1B
Russell Martin C
Eduardo Nunez SS
Ramiro Pena 3B
GB-
Well thank you for your respected input.
No I would not trade the potential next Posada/Piazza, Whitey-minus the spitball-Ford or JR Richard for , two of those three for King Felix Hernandez.
Is Montero the next possible Piazza? Other?
Is Banuelos the next possible great lefty Guidry? Other
Is Betances the right handed tall version of the next CC? Other?
***************
1. Montero: Don’t know – those are some lofty comparison – excited about Montero – but not going to predict he is generational as some others until he is promoted and has some seasons under his belt. Excited – but waiting to see what he can do at the mlb level – when he finally gets the chance.
2. Banuelos: Like the Teddy Higuera comparison more – plus Guidry relied on the killer slider – Banuelos arsenal more filled with fb, curveball, and change – along with Teddy – they both are small lefties from Mexico with similar types of dynamics
3. Betances: Do not see it – only similarity is the height – different types of pitchers – Sabathia with a slider, fb, change – Betances w/ a curve put away – let alone one is a righty and the other a lefty. Better possible comparison to Betances (IF HE REACHES HIS POTENTIAL AND CEILING) is Josh Johnson
Interesting lineup. Too bad I will be at the Manuelito game. Good idea to get Jeter and Tex off the turf for a game.
MTU, next year Kemp is in arb 3, FA in 2013 so we will see what happens with that. Also, in Romine you are talking about a nice player, but a player whose SLUG is under .400, .OPS under 800 and who doesn’t have much pop at all vs. righties. He doesn’t in any way shape or form have Montero’s monster bat.
Heading off to see Manny B. pitch, go Huuuuughes! Go Yanks!
Villanueva is an offspeed pitcher. Hopefully Tex, Swisher and Posada all batting from the left sde don’t strike out on the inside change-up that usually has them swinging at air.
Yankees conservatism strikes again – allow only players who have had a cup of tea play in the majors like Pena and Cervelli – and not promote any better talent like Montero and even Laird b/c they do not have mlb experience. How are you supposed to have mlb experience if you do not get the chance? It is like the old saying in trying to get your first job – employer looking for work experience – but how do you show work experience if this is your first job you are applying for? Getting tired of it.
Stoneburner-
Thanks for your input, which validates my point, that I’d have to be overwhelmed to include two of them in a single trade.
Stoneburner, QFT. Later.
YF-
Enjoy the game. Hope he makes the 6th inning for a change.
YT-
If Felix doesn’t overwhelm you no one would.

**************
For sure – two weeks until the trade deadline – I love this time of year b/c I like hearing rumors and just thinking about possibilities – would I make this trade for that guy – so glad July 31 is on a Sunday – no work (hopefully no work to bring home on the weekend)!!!
Trader, that’s only the way I see it if I were the Yankee GM. If I’m the Mariners GM, I see it as maybe a Russell Martin, Jason Vargas and Jon Rauch with a fastball, but, to do you a favor, I suppose I could be forced to take ‘em on and worry about the fans later.
I’m only looking at potential and their styles, so, it’s not that I’m saying this is who they will be.
Thanks, MTU, here’s hoping.

Stoneburner, QFT. Later.
**************
Look forward to your take on Manny. . . Hope he has multiple innings like his performance in the AA All Star game!!!
I probably can’t catch todays game, bummer. Looking forward to hearing about Hughes’ start.
Silly Sox beat writers – usually Cafardo is decent (much better than Bill Madden) – but he has an article saying Sox should go after Jose Reyes in a . . .wait for it . . . a TRADE! First, with what? What prospects – seriously. He jokingly says Jose Igelsias (aka Rey Ordonez v. 2.0) could centerpiece the deal. He does know that Sandy Alderson did not work under Theo like his stooge out in San Diego. Sorry Boston fans – Jed Hoyer is not walking through that door with Jose Reyes. Second – the fact that they are now already souring on Peter Gammons’ generational SS prospect Iglesias b/c he is hitting like Cervelli in AAA is comical and about time. Oh and Drake Britton has been a disaster this season. Looks like the Sox finally have their Sean Henn. End rant.
YT-
If Felix doesn’t overwhelm you no one would.
——————————-
MTU-
Aargh!!!!! OK, I admit I’m drooling at the thought of the Yankees adding King Felix, but a litlle “spittle”, or at least I think that was, came up when I just traded away both Montero[my next Posada/Piazza] and either of Betances[my next Josh Johnson/JR Richard] or Banueles[my next Ford/Santana/teddy Higuera], for him.
Go away!!
Kev-
One way or another the evaluation is likely to be plastered all over the board after his start.
So don’t worry.
YT-
Just curious. Would you move those guys for Verlander, or would you feel the same way ?
UPDATE, 10:05 a.m.: Chris Dickerson just walked in. No word on a move.
================================================
Hopefully, this means goodbye to Sergio Mitre. Yesterday CC gave the Yankees 8 innings so the bullpen might be able to get by without Mitre today.
I believe too many underestimate the Sox ability to make a deal. They will either get a RF or a SP.
No Bautista.
No 2010 average ERA 7.21 against his daddy-the Jays.
The new and improved Phil Hughes returns to stifle the Blue Jays, and thankfully there’s no mention of Mitre warming up!!
Go Yankees!!!!
With Texas on a 10 game winning streak and the Mariners fading to 10.5 games back, you’d have to think they’ll consider moving Felix Hernandez for young impact bats. They really need to remake that lineup.
I feel like the Yankees are so stockpiled with trade bait that Cashman and company will have their choice between Ubaldo Jimenez or Felix Hernandez.
The King is the better bet but he’s also set to make 20 million annually.
Jimenez is the lesser more unproven talent but adding him would give the Yankees a cheaper rotation and thus more payroll flexibility to either add Prince Fielder as a free agent after 2011 or Matt Kemp as a free agent after 2012.
I still like Jimenez.
But perhaps the Mariners match up with the Yankees better because we have so many bats.
The Rox don’t need Nunez because they have Tulowitski.
The Mariners DO need Nunez.
The Mariners could use Montero, Gardner, Nunez…any of those guys. But because of Felix’ 20 million dollar price tag, I would not include either Betances or Banuelos. I’d offer them Hughes because he’s closer to arbitration and free agency.
For Felix I would offer Hughes + Montero + Gardner + Nunez. No B’s.
For Jimenez I would offer Montero + Betances + Nova + Murphy.
Gotta love when people compare Ray Kruml to Brett Gardner.
He’s fast and he’s white, so he’s the next Gardner!!
Austin-
I though you’d be sitting near a lake at 10,000 feet about now ?
Too funny.
what’s the matter, getting scared that you’re about to lose the love of your life? I only said that Kruml was the same type of player as Gardner.
Just curious. Would you move those guys for Verlander, or would you feel the same way ?
———————————
Verlander was on my list last thread as was Kershaw if you remember, but only righty Betances +pieces for Verlander and Banuelos+pieces for lefty Kershaw. Not including Montero.
Montero is the most exciting power Yankee minor leaguer since the Mick, who came up at the age of 19. I want the Yankees to free Jesus and bring him up now!!!!
YT-
OK. You’re nothing if not consistent.
Hughes needs to improve today. Show some swing and miss stuff again.
I hope he does.
what’s the matter, getting scared that you’re about to lose the love of your life? I only said that Kruml was the same type of player as Gardner.
—————–
Actually, as you know I only care about the Yankees winning baseball games. If Brett Gardner was traded for the right player that would increase the Yankees odds of doing that in both the short and long term that would be fantastic.
I do have to laugh though at the comparisons with scrubs like Kruml or Golson. If they trade Gardner, they still have this white guy in AA who is his clone! Or Golson who is just as fast! Like those players are going to come close to approximating Gardner’s production.
Many Yankee fans don’t fully see how much Brett Gardner helps the Yankees win baseball games and it becomes obvious through those type of silly comparisons. I bet they would understand quickly if Greg Golson or Austin Kruml was the Yankees starting LF.
Bret-
For Jimenez I would offer Montero + Betances + Nova + Murphy.
———————————
I just came back on board from throwing up!!!
Kruml at 26 is in AA with a OBP under 350. Yeah, just run him up to NY, he’ll be fine.
The Rockies are telling interested teams that the price will be high, and that if Colorado deals him, the extraction of prospects needed in return will be painful. One evaluator’s current odds of Jimenez being traded: 25 percent. “It has to be something that makes sense for the Rockies (right now),” said the evaluator.
The Rockies are targeting major-league ready guys who could help in the big leagues right now, or in the very near future. The Tigers have interest, but might not have the right prospects to satisfy Colorado; a third team would probably be required for a deal. The Yankees have the players that would be required for a deal — Ivan Nova, others — but it’s not clear what their level of interest is, and whether their interest will change, given the recent struggles of Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia.

sitting in my Toronto hotel room about to head over to Rogers Center
Really disappointed no Jeter in the lineup… wanted him to pass Kaline… maybe as a pinch hitter?
Hughes also a big factor today. would love to see him be really sharp
Sitting in the front row on the Rf line… gonna try to get Swish’s attention and maybe some others. Yankees hats throughout the five person group!
I would love either Jimenez or King felix. Jimenez is less expensive probably both in talent and payroll, but The KING is a proven A-list stud.
I’m sure the price tag would be something like Montero or Romine, plus Nova or Noesi, plus Betances or Banuelos for Jimenez. Seattle would want Nunez plus a catcher and two arms.
Tough call if you”re the GM and that talent is really available
I dred this day. This place will be unreadable when the Black Cloud Of Lohud starts with another round of “Hughes can’t be trusted. Hughes is a failure as far as I’m concerned. Hughes will never be more than a #4 pitcher.” You can set your watch by it.
Wouldn’t know a pitcher on the mound from a pitcher of water.
Jimenez’s season got off on the wrong foot for a number of reasons. He didn’t do the same throwing program over the winter. Then his catch-up period was interrupted by thumb cuticle and groin injuries in spring training. The thumb affected his confidence. He wasn’t sure where the ball was going when it left his hand. And it wasn’t going as fast because he was still building up arm strength.
“Now I am almost there. I am getting to 95 miles per hour consistently. You are going to see more, I promise you that,” Jimenez said.
I bet they would understand quickly if Greg Golson or Austin Kruml was the Yankees starting LF.

Who the hell is Austin Kruml?
***dread***
Eric Dickerson just walked in ? This would be a glut of outfielders and a possible signal that Andruw jones is about to be cut.
Mitre should be next and replaced with J.C. Romero. Brandon Laird should replace Pena. Montero should replace Cervelli.
That should take care of internal moves unless Nova is needed.

No doubt about it. I’d just rather see it with my own eyes
Some here would have me know his last start was a complete wreck and the beginning of the end of his Yankee career. I saw it as a little rocky, but he kept it under wraps for the most part even though he wasn’t at his best.
Wish I could stay on, but gotta go. Thanks to all for your instructive and constructive comments.
As for you MTU-take a hike!! Still friends??

As far as I’m concerned till the bitter end.
If Eric Dickerson walked into the clubouse, he’s looking for a football. Chris Dickerson is another story, but, so was Angie and Janice Dickinson 30 years ago.
For Jimenez I would offer Montero + Betances + Nova + Murphy.

You missed Gardner. I’d throw him in there as well. Not enough roughage in the diet
MTU-
Now I’m really gone. Go walk the pups! Till later.
Fowler is in AAA. I can see the Rox being interested in Gardner. If it gets them off the B’s I’m all for it.
CC-Ubaldo-Hughes-AJ-open
If you trade for Ubaldo, there is only one rotation spot available for the next 2.5 years. That’s why you have to trade as much pitching as possible and try to save the hitters.
198 stitches,
…Mitre should be next and replaced with J.C. Romero. Brandon Laird should replace Pena…
===============================================
I would have thought so too, but for the last few games Scranton has played Kevin Russo at 3B and moved Laird to LF. I have a feeling that if Nunez continues to struggle defensively at 3B, Russo might be the guy they call up till ARod comes back.
You’ve been trading Gardner for years so it was a shock when he wasn’t included.

nice way to go around the country & check out team RUMORS
Bret
This isn’t an attack on you personally so don’t take it as such.
If you were trying to get a GM job you would hope they didn’t see your trade suggestions here.
Can we get at least 5 critiques of line-up today so the Lohud reverse curse can help give Phil a good lead?
I guess Girardi has tickets to an early all you can eat today so he put out this weak-a55 line-up. There is no more guessing. He is TRYING to lose.
Time to do something with Montero….either bring him up and give the kid a chance to play, or trade him….
Maine,
This is just a friendly reminder, not an elusion to your negligence.
“The Rockies are telling interested teams that the price will be high, and that if Colorado deals him, the extraction of prospects needed in return will be painful.”
Painful, Maine.
Painful.
allusion
need to get CC some help…
LGY,
I like this better:
CC Sabathia
Ubaldo Jimenez
AJ Burnett
Manny Banuelos
Dellin Betances
Bojo,
All the left hand batters and switch hitters are susceptible to down and in change ups. Lots of Ks. Then you’ve got Martin and Pena. We’re DOOMED!
Idiot Lupica is at it again this morning. Phillies Gm is smart because he swooped in and got cliff ‘phil’lee…I think their GM admitted he was lucky with cliff wanting to return after the “smart” GM traded him away. And lupica reminds us of the yankees payroll in his article..again.
Then buy Prince Fielder and Matt Kemp.
Ain’t gonna happen though.
The Rox will want Montero + 1 B.
Mariners? They have so many holes I think you can get them off the B’s.
Plenty of bats on the FA market.
I wouldn’t trade pitching if I could hold it.
Bret
I wasn’t singling out just one.
There are many to pick from.
I’ve only seen Ubaldo Jimenez pitch a few times, but I am not sure if he is the “Ace” we should be throwing all our chips at. I mean–sure–we can throw Chip at them and see if a Yankee blogger gets us Ubaldo in return, but I don’t know if Mrs Chip would allow that.
To me–in looking at reports and stats–U.J. seems more like AJ #2 than a #2 ACE…plenty of potential, wild swings in effectiveness, plenty of walks and passed balls. Not play-off tested to show he is a difference maker.
I would not make the trade in lieu of who the Rox will certainly ask for in return.
For those that compare our top two pitchers to the top 2 on other teams, I once more say it is a 25 man team versus a 25 man team, not 2 on 2 basketball pickup game. We have gotten past superior pitchers before by patience and timely hitting. We have proven we can win that way time and again.
My main worry comes back to having enough offense in post season to overcome the other pitching.
There’s nothing excessive about the most recent trade package models.
King Felix and Ubaldo will be expensive.
It will sting.
You have to be realistic about that.
Last year, it was BJ Upton who was supposedly “dangled” by the D-Backs and could be had because Towers was willing to listen to offers.
And last I checked, Upton is still in Arizona.
A GM willing to listen to offers doesn’t mean the guy is on the verge of getting traded.
Any GM worth his weight in poo is going to explore all options to make his team better.
Oops. Justin Upton. Screwed that up.

It’s about time they let Pena play.
He’s gonna have a big game I tell ya.
He’s been reading here and gonna prove all you scouts wrong.
Why isn’t Montero allowed to procede with his baseball education like other catchers. There’s less than a handful of catchers in the last forty years that have made any substantial impact at the age of 21 or younger. Bench, maybe Rodriguez, and Mauer just about there at 22, unless you count his 35 games at at 21.
Spot on Tommie!
Pray that no balls are hit to the left side of the infield today!

just maybe they don’t feel he’s ready
Not really sure where the saying “spot on” came from…
I think it is British, like one of their many other saying:
* A spot of tea?
* They mean to win Wimbledon
* I’m wearing my wife’s ladies silk underwear today
* Fish and chips
* etc
It’s like WCYF said, either the Yankees feel Montero is not ready to catch in the big leagues or they want to protect his trade value.
Pick your poison.

Make sure you tell your friends about our Spanish-language sister site Rumores de Beisbol.”

Wonder if he has his father’s arm…

This is REALLY disturbing news.
This kid was the top rated Intl FA position player that Yankees were tracking. Has great arm, speed, switch hitter, athleticism, and was raised in a pro baseball family. I hope the Yankees swoop in and sign him.
That was WCYF in your head, remember?
GB…..Great line about the pitcher of water reference….
MTU,
The Yankees need me no matter what the elevation.
Spent the night in Breckenridge. Awfully busy with tourists. Heading to Grand lake for a few days and then Estes.
I see the trades now–trade Montero, Gardner and Nunez for Felix and then trade Warren and Adams for Beltran. See you at the World Series.

Morning, Pat. How are things in your world? Must be a terrible thing to have to wait for Thursday to come around, huh?
I’m looking forward to see Hughes pitch and the progress he’s made…just not looking forward to reading the usual tripe on here.
Pickings on the trade market are pretty slim this year, unless you’re into extortion. I’d prefer to replace one of Garcia or colon with Nova. That’s the future, not the Colons and Garcias. If NYYs trade off 3 or four of the youngsters to acquire one pitcher, they’ll be in the same spot next year, looking for the future replacement for Burnett, or even the remainders of Garcia/Colon. That doesn’t even answer the offensive replacements. It’ll be back to $20 mil a year contracts and that can’t go on year after year. It’s taken 5 years to buld a farm system to be able to have good replacements and people somebody want. A Jiminez and Beltran trade would set the system back another 5 years. I’m strictly against it.

As pointed out in MLBT, if Alderson is willing to eat the salary, we probably are going to see a lot more teams compete for him, and probably do not get him.
In that case, I would be interested in Melky Cabrerra as another bat….not sure who else would be interesting….Probably can get Melky for a second tier prospect like Phelps or Warren

Went to see SWB Yanks play the Toledo Mud Hens last night. Was very surprised to see that the scoreboard had Mark Prior as the Yanks’ starter. Actually, it was Lance Pendleton. Pendleton was really getting squeezed by the home plate ump. Montero hit a couple of balls very hard. Good game. Kontos gave up a big homer to ice the game for the Hens.
GB…Bring up Nova and stick with him and move Garcia to the pen as a long reliever when Colon returns to health…..Those two are actually interchangeable in my mind……I do like the prospect of obtaining Beltran for the stretch run….And dump Meat-tray……Back to the British open and go USA Women……

joeman – last night MLB had Cobb and Hellickson switched. Is it for sure Cobb on Tues. instead of Monday now.
If so have the Yankees ever faced Cobb before and could this be one of those games….
ESPN’s Buster Olney reports that the Yankees intend to evaluate Ubaldo Jimenez as possible trade target.
If he’s really available, it certainly would make sense to take a look at him. The Yankees rotation had appeared to be in pretty good shape, but Bartolo Colon has fell back to earth recently and Phil Hughes isn’t a safe bet right now. Prospect Jesus Montero would certainly be someone likely to pique the Rockies’ interest, but it remains to be seen how willing they’ll really be to deal Jimenez.
Maine, rumor is that they don’t want him back.
Too many complaints that computers have been disappearing all over the Back Bay.
Also is Dickerson out of options yet or how does that work. They guy has been a yo yo’d back and forth a lot since coming over for MEAT TRAY
What’s with Bucholz, his back? That would be a very big blow for Boston.
If Sandy eats some of Beltran’s money, and wants a young pitcher, then the Yanks can do it. The more money eaten, the lesser the quality of pitcher, and vice-versa.

joeman – last night MLB had Cobb and Hellickson switched. Is it for sure Cobb on Tues. instead of Monday now.
If so have the Yankees ever faced Cobb before and could this be one of those games….

got it from CBS & we all know how they are with this kind of info..not to good
Brett Gardner has probably been the second, or at worst, third best player on the Yankees this year.
The degree to which he is so consistently underappreciated just boggles my mind.
Losing Gardner would be one of the only things that over the next several months that would seriously jeopardize the Yankees chances of making the postseason. Even A-Rod is not as important to this team on both sides of the ball.
One option per year is used, no matter how many times to the minors and back. Usually, most players have four options once added to a 40 man roster,
Alright, well I guess it doesn’t really matter. The Yankees are going to get everyone but Neimann from the Rays no matter which days, I guess.
I do know that it is a huge series. 3 of 4 would be delightful.
MLB has Burnett & Cobb you are right
Go Phil! Get that new hook working today.
Hi everyone’,
WOW!, heated discutions in the blog today!, i would have never guessed that the worst poster in this blog would be quoted as saying something that made sense. ( hint: he is from the west ).
On to the trade posibilities: Making a trade that includes any player name Montero, Betances, or Banuelos would be a mistake. If you haven’t noticed we are in the middle of a guard changing process, we can’t afford a quick fix now, because it would hurt the franchise in the long run, we no longer have Jeter, Posada, Petitte or Mo in their prime.

I would settle for a split
Joe In LI, Alderson says they’ll eat the money for better and more quality. That’s his preference, I assume this has gone through ownership, of course.

Great movie with James Cagney…first time I ever realized how talented he was as a dancer…
The infield defense is a cause for concern today. Those guys are going to have to field like actually Major Leaguers today.
Bojo,
Cagney was a song-and-dance man all his career, with time out for gangsters.
Luis-
You raggin’ on me ?
I thought we were buds.

What’s with Bucholz, his back? That would be a very big blow for Boston.

Yes. They can’t find anything wrong structually but he still can’t pitch without pain.
Go to Pete Abes site.
He has a write-up about it.
UnKnown,
Pena and Nunez on a pool table; I agree.
If you guys like Cagney, don’t watch his westerns. However, as a comedian. he was great. Watch “One, Two, Three”. You not only get Cagney but one of Hollywood’s true beauties of the 60s, Pamela Tiffin.

I learned that later…only knew him before that on gangster movies and Dead End Kids flicks.

Word is that the same thing can’t be said about GB7.
MTU,
NEVER!, you are a very intelligent poster, and when we disagree you always have a fair point.
I was refering to a guy that keeps picking fights here
Maine-
Those Texas pitchers on Boston all seem to have their troubles.
I hope they keep bringing ‘em in.
MTU–
That was some huge snake! It makes me glad to live on east coast!
Did you make a belt or boots out of the skin?
Luis-
As always. Just kidding. Be smart don’t ever take me too seriously.
I sure don’t.
Cagney played the best “Bull Halsey” that anyone has. Also great in “Thee Fighting 69th” with Pat O’Brien.
Bojo,
We’ve got timber rattlers here in Georgia just as big!
Do any of the under 30 crowd here even know what Dead End Kids flicks were? I wonder if they ever get shown anymore.

I doubt that dancing with a hoofer means quite the same for you as it does for me.
MTU,
The thing is i’m not that good at understanding obtuse, LOL
Bojo,
Under 30? Try under 60!
Well that’s it for Jimenez – I’m not interested in the Yankees feeling the pain by trading for Jimenez. He does have some questions lingering over him – it’s all moot anyway. I do not believe the Rockies have any interest in trading him.
I don’t know why anyone cares what Pukica has to say. I skipped right over the excerpt posted here because he’s an obnoxious twerp who hasn’t been relevant since a few Presidential Adminstrations. The entire Daily News staff with the exception of Mark Feinsand hate the Yankees…………Pukica and Madden lead the way, with Harper a few lengths behind.

I’ll have to look those up and rent them….
Bojo-
I must confess. That was a prop. Sent to me by a friend. Made for a good joke.
It was a huge Eastern diamondback though. Would never ever want to run into one that size or GB would be right and my babies would be snake food.
Me too probably.
pitchin is more important than hittin,
if the yankees should trade any prosect out of the 3 best they got, its gotta be Monetero
Betances and Banuelos both have hgue upsides, chance theyll both be great in the ML is low tho, so we gotta hang on to one cause chances that at least 1 is great is pretty decent
That was a rattler? I thought that it was a garter snake
I know that Leo Gorcey hated him. While in a Dead End Kids movie, he once was in a scene with Cagney, and he started to ad lib in the scene. Cagney slugged him to the floor and told him in no uncertain words never to do that again with him.
GB7
You shouldn’t dance with hookers.
GB-
Coming from a guy who likes to play with King Cobra’s.
I guess you’re right.

foolishness of youth and alchohol.
Wonder we survived some of things we did.
MTU, sometimes, kids are too stupid to get hurt.
