They could get Chase Headley if they give San Diego a better package than they gave to Seattle for that Punch and Judy Japanese guy. Headley has good road numbers. He just can't hit in PETCO Park.
Headley's a very good hitter and more than a stopgap. A stopgap would be more like Scott Rolen or Placido Polanco.
Yeah, he's better than a stopgap. The Yankees would have to give up a better package than the Ichiro one.
I kind of hope they lose 2/3 to Boston this weekend, just so the Sox will be buyers at the trade deadline and keep all that dead weight on the team. Okay, I can't actually bring myself to really hope that... but it'd be a silver lining.
Haven't played very well recently. The typicals Nix, Ibanez, Jones, and Chavez have been stepping up though. Really weird last couple weeks
Jon Heyman @JonHeymanCBS source says dempster told the #cubs he will agree to a #yankees trade I just have a feeling Dempster would be a disaster here.
Amen. Too old and he's been very lucky this year (although in years past he's been very unlucky so I guess every dog has his year). Now I can't wait to watch the Rangers, Angels and A's beat each other up.
I'm watching a replay. Nova was getting shelled. It seemed like every guy was hitting the ball hard off him in the second. Not sure why a change wasn't made.
I have to assume it was because Qualls was traded and they wanted to give Joba an extra day off. I.e. shallow bullpen
