Comments on: Cashman On The Bullpen, Hughes/Joba, and Getting Younger http://www.theyankeeu.com/2009/11/cashman-on-the-bullpen-hughesjoba-and-getting-younger-9412 The Blog Formerly Known As The Yankee Universe Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:19:14 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: The other Chris H http://www.theyankeeu.com/2009/11/cashman-on-the-bullpen-hughesjoba-and-getting-younger-9412/comment-page-1#comment-8262 The other Chris H Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:34:46 +0000 http://www.theyankeeuniverse.com/?p=9412#comment-8262 Jackson doesn't have the trade value to be the center piece for a trade for SP unless you want a bad one, he simply doesn't project well enough to warrant the attention of someone with a big time starter... I also see no need for Cashman to pull some big retarded trade just for the sake of it. there is no way you could land a guy like Josh Johnson for less than Joba and Hughes+ or Montero+, just looking at the Marlins past trades you realize they don't screw themselves over and they don't give away the talent they trade. The Sox may have gotten a WS ring out of Beckett but the Marlins are doing fine with Hanley Ramirez and Anibal Sanchez. Besides I worry about Josh Johnson's health and the fact that the Marlins weren't even willing to offer him a 4th year kind of scares me away. I would like to see the Yankees pull off the Granderson deal but only if they can work Edwin Jackson into the trade... I highly doubt he repeats his performance as a number 2 starter but he would be a great number 4 starter with his stuff and would more than easily make a good starter for 1 game in a 7 game series. Jeter, SS Granderson, CF Tex, 1B Arod, 3B Matsui, DH Posada, C Cano, 2B Swisher, RF Cameron, LF Sabathia Burnett Pettitte Jackson Hughes/Joba the Yankees really don't need another number 1 starter or to pull off some huge blockbuster trade they can feel all the needs we have with lower paid contracts and a bunch on 1 year deals.... Sheets, Cameron, Matsui, Putz all could be key contributors on 1 year deals.

Jeter, SS
Granderson, CF
Tex, 1B
Arod, 3B
Matsui, DH
Posada, C
Cano, 2B
Swisher, RF
Cameron, LF

Sabathia
Burnett
Pettitte
Jackson
Hughes/Joba

the Yankees really don’t need another number 1 starter or to pull off some huge blockbuster trade they can feel all the needs we have with lower paid contracts and a bunch on 1 year deals…. Sheets, Cameron, Matsui, Putz all could be key contributors on 1 year deals.

Montero). Cash is playing it cool and close to the vest, at this time. You got to think that Theo must be trying harder. I hope that he doesn't pull off another steal trade. Or, if he does, Cash counters him good. But, it all feels good right now, with the afterglow of the 27th. I would love to see the yankees get Johnson for a basket of minor-leaguers (not incl.

I know Cano for Wainwright was shot down by the Cards last year but I like that thinking. Someone like Johnson, Wainwright, Kershaw, Cain, Jimenez...just depends on what the Yanks need to give up. I'd rather give up A.Jackson as a center piece for one of those guys instead of getting Granderson in return. I know the asking price will be higher but I think that a move like that would provide for a lot of flexibility in the future. CC and Johnson would give the Yanks a nasty 1-2 w/ maybe Joba or Phil reaching their potential as the #3 for years to come. SICK! Does anyone think Cash makes a big move for a younger starter?

McCallister is a legit prospect. He doesn't throw incredibly hard, but throws hard enough and has solid all around skills. His ceiling is probably a #3 starter, and he might be in the mix with Joba, Hughes, Aceves, etc for those end of rotation spots in spring training. Grant Duff is a bullpen arm.
