He's a center-fielder who will play up in either corner. That is not true about his defense. he has a plus arm and is fast to the ball. He’s a center-fielder who will play up in either corner.

I think Cash would love to put together an OF that can run and go get it. I'm not sure if Tabby really fits into that philosophy even if he continues to mash. There's more than one reason he was called Mini-Manny by some people.

I think how Nady does this year may impact how we look at this deal a lot. If he has a big season, the trade was easily a win for the Yankees. I think that is a fair assessment.

They gave up something Pittsburgh desperately needed in starting pitching. Looks like both Ohlendorf and Karstens may make the rotation for Pittsburgh to start the season, but realistically neither of them would have been in the Yankees plans. Tabata may turn out to be a good player and maybe the trade will be what turned him around, but he was definitely headed in the wrong direction for the Yankees. Both Nady and Marte made solid contributions last year and both will this year as well. Marte should stick around and be effective for a couple more years and time will tell what they do with Nady. So overall it was what a trade is supposed to be. A good deal for both teams. I think that this was a good trade for the Yankees.

But if one of Jackson or Tabata had to go I'm glad it was Tabata. Because I think Jackson is the better prospect. I didn’t like the trade at the time and I still don’t like the trade.

He had a strong month and a half after being traded, but he still carries a lot of the problems that caused people to sour on him by the middle of last season. He's probably be the #3 prospect in our farm system right now, but by no means did we get completely ripped off. Nady was useful last season, and should be an offensive and defensive asset this season. He's more than likely to net us two draft picks too. Let's not forget that.

Karstens never had a chance in NY and neither did McCuthen for that matter. Kontos is flying under the radar so to speak. He has proven himself at every level so far and could end up being a valuable reliever. Obviously, we are all glad to see that Coke wasn't traded. Tabata may end up being a good player, but the Yankees needed a proven MLB bat and a reliever at the time. Gotta give up something to get something.
