July 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:50 PM) He's not, he's just like Tyler when it comes to that. Really? I must be thinking of someone else, I thought NYY had a defensive guy at C they were high on, I assumed it was Montero. Clearly I'm not up on some of the prospects in other systems.
July 9, 201015 yr Buster_ESPN Heard this: At 3:45 E. time, big concerns arising within the negotiation that the SEA-NYY Cliff Lee deal could break up. Fluid situation. 3 minutes ago via web
July 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) Montero is considered a poor defender and will likely move off C. CJ is not a prospect at all CJ is not a prospect worth anything in trade, but that doesn't mean he's entirely not a prospect. I still think he's got a shot to be a utility IF on this team in a year or so.

July 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 01:52 PM) How is this not GREAT news? It went from Twins leading for him to him going to the Yankees. Please don't tell me you thought the Sox would contend for his services? The Yankees will be unbeatable in the playoffs with Lee so that is what I am more worried about. I hate super teams.
July 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:57 PM) Dagummit Could go NL, might end up even better. Or, MIN, and get a lot worse.

July 9, 201015 yr Sherman latest: 2:44pm: The Mariners are backing off, according to Sherman. The Yankees believe they are no longer in the Lee sweepstakes, as the M's have gone in another direction (all Twitter links). Sherman says 'the Yankees aren't getting Cliff Lee,' since another team has entered discussions aggressively. Heyman latest: 2:57pm: The Mariners didn't accept the Yankees' offer of Montero, Adams and a third prospect, so the Yankees may walk away from the discussions, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com (via Twitter). I pulled this from MLBTR consolidation. MIN? CHW? Who might the other team be?
July 9, 201015 yr Why do I have a sick feeling? I f***ing hate mystery teams, my common sense needs to kick in and remove these butterflies from my stomach.
July 9, 201015 yr Just curious... any bats on the Mariners that we could use? I don't see any, other than Ichiro who obviously is not happening. Just in case we try for Lee, wondering if its part of a bigger deal.
July 9, 201015 yr God I hope the team that "has entered discussions aggressively." is not the Twins or Tigers, and a little nervous as to what we would give up if it's Kenny throwing down offers.
July 9, 201015 yr Apparently the "mystery team" is the Rangers. I would believe they would offer a package around Smoak.
July 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 03:11 PM) Apparently the "mystery team" is the Rangers. I would believe they would offer a package around Smoak. We'll see if their finances even allow for that sort of move.

Buster_ESPN Rangers are back on Lee. Hard to imagine Texas making this deal happen without Justin Smoak being part of the deal. less than a minute ago via web
July 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (pktmotion @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) Wow so it looks like Jesus Montero-David Adams-Zach McAllister for Cliff Lee. We could have gotten Lee for Flowers-Retherford-Torres. Unbelievable. I don't get surprised when the Yankees sign top guys in FA, but when they dupe teams into these trades; it's pretty evident how good their front office is. You're a fool if you really think that a Flowers/Retherford/Torres package would even get the M's attention. Montero is a top 5 prospect in all of baseball. We don't even have anyone like that in our system, unless you want to talk about Beckham.

Montero is a top 5 prospect in all of baseball. We don't even have anyone like that in our system, unless you want to talk about Beckham. Yeah, Flowers is no where near the prospect that Montero is. For us, we would have to trade something like Hudson, Flowers, Danks2, and someone else I would believe.
July 9, 201015 yr Was just looking at the Rangers' prospect rankings at Baseball America, their top prospects each year have had a crazy success rate: 2001 Carlos Pena, 1b Rays 2002 Hank Blalock, 3b Rangers 2003 Mark Teixeira, 3b Yankees 2004 Adrian Gonzalez, 1b Padres 2005 Thomas Diamond, rhp Cubs 2006 Edinson Volquez, rhp Reds 2007 John Danks, lhp White Sox 2008 Elvis Andrus, ss Rangers 2009 Neftali Feliz, rhp Rangers http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prosp...010/269402.html
