redandwhite Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Newsday in New York apparently is reporting that the Yankees are very close to acquiring Freddy Garcia, and ESPN 1000 suggests the White Sox and Kenny Williams will have to do whatever it takes to get Freddy on the southside soon.

Queen Prawn Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 What do they have to offer Seattle who was reportedly going young?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 What the f***? f*** the Yankees. We need Garcia more than those assholes. :fyou Just f***ing deal with you and your stupid signings of old guys who get injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 It'd suck if they got him. Hopefully KW swings something before they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 What do they have to offer Seattle who was reportedly going young?! I would bet that the catcher (Navarro) that they have in their system, and Contreras, and cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 For what it's worth, the Mets traded David Weathers for Hidalgo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they have been showcasing some 21 year old Dominican kid whos been playing solid.. I would bet Navarro is also involved in the deal.

Wise Master Buehrle Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 If the Yankees get Garcia, KW better do ANY thing possible to get Ben Sheets, and ONLy Ben Sheets. Livan Hernandez is a stretch, but I'm not too fond of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brewers aren't trading Ben Sheets, period. We may have to look at other options such as Armas, Livan, Benson, Jennings, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasqua's Mailman Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 When will teams stop buying into these overhyped Yankee prospects? Really, who was the last one that they traded that turned out to be good? Mike Lowell? I'm sure Reds fans are still stoked about that Casey Claussen character they picked up last year for Aaron Boone. One other thing, isn't Newsday notoriously wrong in their rumor reporting? I'm not saying they are Sam Smith, but I seem to recall that they are wrong more than they are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 as long as anything possible doesn't involve trading Borchard or Reed I know its in green, but hell I'd trade either one of them for Sheets. Ben is going to be a top pitcher in this league in a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Claussen but your right, the Yankees feed all teams crap and hype about their freakin prospects. The only "fair" trade I remember the Yankees making involving prospects was the Knoblauch deal to the Twins where they recieved Guzman, Milton and others.

We may have to look at other options such as Armas, Livan, Benson, Jennings, etc. I wouldn't mind Livan. Benson would be ok...but please not Armas or Jennings. If a change of scenery returned Jennings to his old form it would be great, but right now he couldn't get the ball over lake michigan.

Until he can harness his pitches that talent will be lost with 5 BB's per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
