    Yankees don't have much in the way of veteran starting pitchers (wang and pettitte are still fine) and could use another to lessen the reliance on chamberlain, hughes, kennedy. If the Yanks just signed Ensberg, Betemit is much less needed. Tell Billy and Betemit that they will BOTH be super-subs. Give Betemit half the starts vs. RH (he does better vs. them) as 3B, give Hall the rest of the starts, and they can back up all over the place (betemit has played all IF positions and corner OF).

    "gamel, jeffress, rogers, and a couple other prospects" is a pretty big haul, Particularly if Rogers comes back and shows any promise at all.
  3. DrWood
    gee. they have arod and betemit at 3b. I can't see why ensberg would even sniff the roster unless betemit is getting traded.

    molitor peaked as a hitter after he stopped doing blow--that was what really caused "wear and tear".
  5. DrWood
    I guess we better cut ties with salome and gindl too, since they are short.
  6. DrWood
    um, wasn't he in a bad car accident yesterday?
  7. DrWood
    Wilson played more 1b than 3b in rookie ball. Is Newton really a prospect at this point? That's why I had trouble figuring out how they'd be starters and Wheeler wouldn't. Chapman could prove that he isn't a SO king...or that he can bat higher than .262...
  8. DrWood
    If padres don't keep him in majors, do the brewers decide to bring him back? Seems like he could help in Nashville.
  9. DrWood
    To me, putting Brantley at 1b fulltime means the brewers have given up on him as a prospect, since he'll never hit well enough to play there in the Majors. I suspect LaPorta will be more ready to hit AAA pitching than will Katin or Moss, but it would be fast-tracking him to move him there. I'm not sure they don't find an old AAAA guy to sign. I could see Chapman repeating at WV, at least to start the season. Do we know that Irribarren is going to be a full-time OF? I don't know why Wheeler wouldn't be starting at 3b. Shanks should have a home somewhere; same with some of the FA minor league signings. There were a few other guys I could see being higher or lower, but those stood out to me.

    Vargas seems like an easy sell to me (for a team that wants a one-year stopgap that could possibly be extended), though won't get much more than a bag of peanuts in return. Of course, Villanueva seemed like a bag of peanuts.
  11. DrWood
    I wonder what seattle offered MN? Adam Jones seems like a better prospect than Gomez does to me.
  12. DrWood
    Cameron won't be on the opening day roster, making Gwynn very likely. One of the pitchers will probably be nicked up, opening another slot. And someone is getting traded. Rivera fits the bill as a AAAA player more than munson does.
  13. DrWood
    I think they'd rather have younger players. Gamel, Escobar, Jeffress, Capuano and Bush might get it done. Is the deal to SEA definitely dead?
  14. DrWood
    I know it would be very hard to make those long throws after a long move for a 3b who throws LH. I understand less why a LH thrower couldn't play SS (still hard on the play in the hole, though should be easier for the DP) or 2b (seems neutral to me) or C (seems pretty neutral to me, too, batter isn't going to commit interference on a steal attempt--do basestealers do better with a LH batter hitting?).
  15. DrWood
    kendall and gagne. both have large potential to be either positive or negative impact.
  16. DrWood
    should be worth 22-27 HR in that stadium.
  17. DrWood
    TLB--I think you have a much higher opinion of Pie in 2008 than I do. I'd be surprised if he hits .750 OPS if he plays everyday. Roberts steals a lot of bases, too.
  18. DrWood
    maybe long-term, but roberts is much better than pie short-term.
  19. DrWood
    only way laporta moves to C is if his bat is marginal as a corner OF.
  20. DrWood
    I haven't seen much of ramirez, so I'm just basing his defense on informed judges who believe his tenure at SS will be short. fan, you did use some of the least useful defensive stats. maybe someone can come up with some more. Reyes tailed off at the end of last season; prior to that, his offensive stats were much more comparable to ramirez. I'll stick with "it depends" for my answer.
  21. DrWood
    and the correct answer is.... It depends. It depends on the rest of your team. Reyes is going to stay at SS for his career, probably, but Ramirez is not, and he is roundly considered as wretched on D. so...if your team really needs a power bat, take ramirez, if your team really needs a SS for the next decade, take Reyes. Every team would take either, though, if they were available.
  22. DrWood
    how about we develop our relievers ourselves? If we give up one of our starters, the return will depend on what team actually wants one of our guys; it's possible we would get a minor league reliever (plus something else) in return. there are a few of our own guys that could possibly contribute next year, if there is an opening.
  23. DrWood
    vann, there are a lot of players each of us would really love to see on the brewers. you can't get them all. outside of you, the consensus is that this wouldn't be a trade to pursue.
  24. DrWood
    1. Sheets. 2. Gallardo. 3. Suppan. 4. Capuano/Bush 5. Parra. but no one listens to me...
  25. DrWood
    well, they certainly have plenty of bodies they can throw at CF: Stocker, Kapler, Cain, Gindl, Gross, Haydel, Fermaint, Gwynn, Ford, Moss, Brantley, Chapman. Ya gotta think one of those darts will stick.
