chetkincaid Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Wow... Yanks get Granderson, huh? I guess they'll be even better next year. Great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Scherzer for Jackson is a terrific swap for the Tigers, dealing Granderson is going to be a bit more difficult to sell to your fan base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Max elbow explodes. He puts a s***load of stress on that arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyman said the Yanks will still consider Damon. It does mean Hideki Matsui should be available for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 The Tigers made out like bandits on this one. And i hate this for the Yankees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 The Tigers get Schlereth as well? God damn. That's a mighty impressive haul. Verlander/Scherzer/Porcello is a mighty impressive trio heading their rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Tigers did great. I'm a big fan Granderson fan, so i think the Yankees did well, didn't give up too much for a great player. I think the D-Backs get hosed, gave up a lot of young talent.

Kennedy probably has little to no value right now because even when he is healthy he doesn't have great stuff and he has had a ton of arm trouble. Coke is a solid reliever but nothing special. Jackson is a good prospect but probably overrated considering his OBP is only about .350 in the minors and he hasn't shown any power. Even in a bad down year Granderson posted a higher OPS in the majors than Jackson posted in a good year in AAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Jackson turns into a star, so what? LOL. The Yankees are the one team that doesn't ever have to worry about traded prospects coming back to haunt them.

chw42 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) What the hell? The D-Backs got screwed in this. Ian Kennedy? You serious? I understand that they got Jackson, but Ian Kennedy...? Edited December 8, 2009 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigruss Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I can only think that Arizona is foreseeing a long string of injuries for Scherzer and to take advantage of his trade value now. Plus, Jackson could do very well in the NL. Still, quite a haul for the Tigers even though they lose two of their most promising young players. They still have a strong core to build around though.

nitetrain8601 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Only thing I could think is that Arizona is trying to win now. Haren, Webb, Jackson gives them a dominant 1-2-3. With that said, good luck. Schlereth and Scherzer were too much to give up for Jackson and Ian Kennedy. I would've traded them straight up for Granderson and Jackson.

Steve9347 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 This is quite interesting... I really like this deal for the Tigers and Yankees, while the D'backs I'm not too sure what's going on over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 The Yankees got a steal here. Austin Jackson wasn't in their plans, Coke can be easily replaced, and Kennedy is crap. This sucks. At least the Tiggers got worse in 2010 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
