Proposed 3-Way Granderson Trade and Other Thoughts
First is the reported three team trade being discussed by the Diamondbacks, Tigers, and our Yankees. The basics of the deal include the Yankees losing Ian Kennedy, Mike Dunn, Phil Coke, and Austin Jackson. The Yankees would get centerfielder Curtis Granderson from the Tigers and two prospects from the Diamondbacks. The D-Backs would get Edwin ...

What Will the Bullpen Look Like without Bruney?
Hard throwing right handed pitcher Brian Bruney was traded to the Washington Nationals today in exchange for Washington's first pick in the upcoming Rule V Draft. With the exit of Phil Hughes from the bullpen into the rotation, the Yankee bullpen appears to have some holes. This is something with which I disagree. Starting at the ...

Yankees Must Remain Firm in Pettitte Negotiations
As Lenny reported this morning, pitcher Andy Petttitte has rejected the Yankees initial offer of a supposed one year, $10MM contract. With incentives and escalators included, Andy made about $10.5 million last year, so a base salary of $10MM shouldn't be too unappetizing to Pettitte. While he has remained incredibly consistent throughout his entire career, he ...
Cameron No Longer an Option?
Word on the "street" is that Mike Cameron is close to signing a multi-year deal with the Chicago Cubs (h/t RAB). While this is good for Cameron and the Cubs, it is not good for the Yankees. Cameron was a possible option for the Yankees' 2010 outfield and now it appears the Yankees will not ...

Towers Could Accept Job with Yankees
Per Tracy Ringolsby of FOX Sports (h/t MLBTR), recently fired former Padres General Manager Kevin Towers could be close to accepting a job with the Yankees. Towers, 48, is a close friend of current Yankee GM Brian Cashman. He is a highly regarded evaluator of talent, especially on the mound, and would be an absolutely great ...
Heavy Praise for Montero
Via RAB, I came across an article at Project Prospect comparing the Indians' top catching prospect Carlos Santana and Yankees top catching prospect Jesus Montero. Jesus Montero" /> The author, Adam Foster, ran down the pluses and minuses of each player and at the end, came to the conclusion that even though Santana, and Giants' catching prospect ...
Mets Inquired on Matsui's Health
Via MLBTR (h/t RAB), we've learned that the Mets inquired on the results of Hideki Matsui's physical. Obviously, this means the Mets could be interested in bringing in Matsui to play the field as he obviously can't DH for them. This development should make Matsui rather happy. It not only gives him the confidence that at ...
Yankees Should Look to Solve Bullpen Internally
With Phil Hughes moving back to the rotation, and Joba Chamberlain presumably staying there all season in 2010, the Yankees have a bit of a hole in the bullpen. Last season, Phil Hughes' filled the "set-up" role quite well and helped stabilize the back of the Yankee bullpen. Without him, the Yankees seem to be ...
The Pros and Cons of Offering Arbitration
The first Fall Out Boy song I ever heard was "The Pros and Cons of Breathing around this time about or six years ago. Anyway, in tribute to that, I'll be discussing the pros and cons of offering outfielder Johnny Damon arbitration. Johnny Damon" width="333" height="240" /> First, let's review Damon's season. By many measures, especially power, ...
