06:24 AM ET 07.09 | The Knicks didn't get LeBron James, but the Yankees were on the brink of obtaining Cliff Lee late last night for a package that would include top prospect Jesus Montero, the Post has learned.
I'm a Yankee fan, but this is ridiculous. The Yanks have the best rotation in baseball, and if the rumors are true, they're not trading any one of their five starters. I guess the plan would be to send Hughes to the bullpen to cut down on his innings. Totally unnecessary.
Sending any top prospects to Seattle at this time would be a waste. The rotation is already in great shape and one of the starters would gave to be bumped to the bullpen. Why do this? Same goes for that ridiculous story about Jayson Werth. Unless they intend to dump Granderson who gets demoted? All-star Swisher? .315 hitting, 25 steals Gardner? I just don't get it.
It's in the Post for God's sake, take it with a grain of salt. But if so, why would he pitch against the Yankees tonight? Nothing good could come of that. If he pitches for Seattle tonight the trade won't happen.
I'm a Yankee fan as well, and I also find this rediculous. But, I don't think what you are saying is true. I believe they would trade Vazquez to the NL instead of putting hughes in the bullpen. They are already skipping and pushing back Hughes starts, and he has responded well after that. I think that's still their game plan to limit his innings.
Well if this is true, it further proves that "He who has the Gold, Makes the Rules". The Yankees will be re-damn-dick-u-less with LEE in their rotation. Looks like they found the balance of prospects, young talent, and spending a million-gajillion on free-agents.
