WOW. Finally a sensible idea. Another lefty, decent power and they wouldn't have to give up Hughes or Tabata. I hope that they make this move.

D-rays beware, Henn is garbage.

Does it matter?

Best of luck on the Wild Card...

9 Games out and counting...

Wasn't Pena a Yankee last year?

Nevermind. He was in Boston.

before he went to boston , he was playing for the yankees AAA team .. but it will be a good pick up , he has nice defense, decent power (25-30 homers)... and a good eye ...

And BTW he is CHEAP.... Pena for HEnn uff... that's a very very very good deal ... HENN IS GARBAGE.

Boston fans never learn. These are the same guys who will be whining about payroll when they find themselves finishing second .... again.

boo

Henn is not garbage, let's call him a work in progress.

Bad time to trade for Pena, he's nothing more than a below average first baseman, but if they can get him for Henn it's certainly worth it. Anything more--especially Clippard--and definitely not.

BobBoston: Yeah it was 14 1/2 two weeks ago. The choke is coming, prepare yourself. Not even at the all star break yet Einstein.

Carlos Pena is at best a bench player, he's on a streak now that I don't know is possible. Leave him to be. Trade him and the streak will stop.

I don't see it happening. The D-Rays are better than their record shows and their current infield is producing just fine: Pena, Upton, Harris, Iwamura. I can't see them breaking that up, especially having Wiggington as the perfect guy to cover 1B or 3B, if necessary, unless they're trading for a proven starter.

Besides, as much as I hate to belabor this point, the truth is the Yankees need pitching more than anything else.

14.5 two weeks ago, came down to 7.5 and now it's up to 9. Face it, your nitrous tank is empty. You blew it on a 9 game winning streak and now you are on a road trip vs. 3 crappy teams. You're road trip percentage isn't the greatest so let's see if you can win on the road before you try predicting the future.

But hey, even if you make the WC that's okay. I just keep looking at A-Rod's post season stats and I get all warm and fuzzy inside.

Uh lakersloser, the Yankees won 4 world titles in 5 years thanks to products from their farm system ... Jeter, Posada, Rivera, Bernie Williams, Pettitte, etc.

Want current examples from the past few years? Cano, Cabrera, Phil Hughes ... yeah, they traded for A-Rod, picked up Damon, Giambi and others through free agency. Find me a major league team that hasn't gone the free agent route.

The Yankees are the best team in Sports. Bottom LINE

Thanks, I just snarfed my Snapple.

lakers insider- they just called phillips up genius. get your facts straight.

I HATE STUPID RED SOX FANS! MONEY MONEY MONEY....WHO'S GOT THE SECOND HIGHEST PAYROLL??? WHO BIDS FOR CLEMENS AND CRIED WHEN THEY DIDN'T GET HIM, AND MAKES JOKES ABOUT HIS AGE? YOU PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID!!! NEXT YOU ARE GOING TO TELL ME THAT ORTIZ AND MANNY CAME THROUGH THE FARM RIGHT? GENIUSES. BUT ITS NOT OK WHEN THE YANKEES GET A FREE AGENT OR MAKE A TRADE.
