LittleHurt05 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3761924 I like the trade for the Brewers much more than the Yankees. Brewers lower their payroll and get a guy who could be their CF of the future, and can actually play defense, as opposed to Hart and Braun who are butchers out there. Yankees just spend more money for another older guy who hits homers and doesnt get on base a lot. I guess he can steal bases when he does get on base, but thats not often enough.

G&T Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 To be fair, Melky posted a .360 obp in 2006, his first full season. He's only 24. The Brewers dump salary and get a young center fielder who they probably think just needs a change of scenery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 This is the kind of move that the Brewers ought to be making. They take a bit of a chance, but clear some salary and get a guy they can hang on to for longer who has good upside. Not a bad idea for the Yankees. Dramatic defensive upgrade. And in terms of the Yankees, we really need to try to sign someone they'd be interested in grabbing for their big league team next offseason. Maybe we can rehabilitate Nix and turn him in to a 20 home run guy this season? Because as soon as they sign one more pitcher, then all of a sudden I think we can expect Hughes and Kennedy to be available next offseason after they struggle with inconsistent playing time this year, and I'd like a piece of that.

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 It's amazing how many steroid guys the Yankees have had through the years, add another one to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 http://www.fannation.com/si_blogs/hot_stov...482?eref=fromSI Trade is on hold, as the Yankees are asking for a couple million from the Brew Crew to help pay Cameron's salary. As the article says, the Brewers are like, are you kidding me? you just outbid us by $60 million for CC, and now you want financial help for this trade. Get outta here...

Well they do pay them the best so the players can afford it. Maybe that's the Yankee way, pay them the most so they can get the best illegal PEDs Edited December 12, 2008 by ptatc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
