It would have costs the Yankees $3 mill to buy out his contract. Instead, they traded Wright and $3 mill to the Orioles for Britton.. Basically, they got Britton for free
So if he's unable to be a 3rd or 4th starter on the Yanks, then what is this discussion about, and what does it have to do with Britton?
Britton isn't the best choice, but NYJ2K07, look at it this way. 1)Would you rather cut Jaret Wright, and get NOTHING for him? or 2)Would you rather trade him away, get SOMEONE[Anyone] and see how that someone does? I'm going with #2. Maybe you'll change your mind.
That's one of the ways I look at it to, but 2k07 said that he doesn't think he is good enough to be a Yankee.
I guess I have high standards for the pinstripes. ha ha. Ponson? Get out of here! The Future's point which I believe was made by someone else in another way is good. I really wasn't aware of Britton's age or upside. I just made this thread after seeing Wright in an O's uniform and thinking how bad Britton looked to me last season. Unfortunately everyone had to bite my head off. You guys shouldn't do that on a messageboard. It could make people not express their opinions due to fears of mockery. Bottom line: I hope Britton works out as a Yankee. By the way, you guys answered my question in the title, and I thank you for that.
Or, it could make people research their opinions to make sure they make sense before posting. That'd be ideal.
LTS you have criticized me the most in this thread ha ha. You are right though. I made the thread without doing any research at all or knowing too much about Britton or the trade.
