July 18, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2011 -> 02:21 PM) Brandon Allen provided Ian Kennedy's run support yesterday. Isn't Tony Pena due for a rehab stint soon? Great news.

July 18, 201114 yr Some kind of game going on at the Trop. Top of 11, scoreless tie, Rays walk the bases loaded with none out, and they just got out of that little pickle.
July 18, 201114 yr Apparently the Rockies asked the Yankees for Montero, Nova, Banuelos and Betances for Ubaldo.

July 18, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 03:48 PM) Apparently the Rockies asked the Yankees for Montero, Nova, Banuelos and Betances for Ubaldo. Is he a FA sometime soon? Why would the Yankees even think he's available?
July 18, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) Is he a FA sometime soon? Why would the Yankees even think he's available? It's the new hot "rumor" over the last few days, that the Rockies would think about selling him and his team-friendly contract. I can't tell if they have actually discussed or if Heyman just had nothing better to write about.

July 18, 201114 yr Author So he's under contract for 3.5 more years. Yeah, the Rockies could have asked for more.

July 18, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 02:52 PM) Good for them. Yup. And they shouldn't budge from that initial asking price if any of this has credence.

Their top hitting prospect, top two pitching prospects and another, to this point, serviceable starter who's all of 24? Should they ask for Cano as well?

And according to Heyman, the Yankees won't part with any of Banuelos, Betances or Nova. Nova? lol. I don't buy that at all. If true, have fun with that rotation sans C.C. against the Red Sox and Rangers come October.

July 18, 201114 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 05:12 PM) And don't forget the White Sox! That means we'd have to win the division and upset the Red Sox (I think they win that division). Not seeing it at all.

Not seeing it at all. lol, yeah I know. The funny thing is I could see them giving the Red Sox a decent battle and possibly upsetting them. It's the whole winning the division thing that I don't see happening at all.

July 19, 201114 yr Who stayed up to watch end of Red Sox/Tampa game last night? The praise of Jason Varitek by Bobby Valentine was just awful. Between Joe Morgan, Jon Gruden and Bobby Valentine....I wish ESPN would just go away

July 19, 201114 yr I think after the DH sweep, the Twins will be hard-pressed to pass all three teams in front of them. The odds are definitely not in their favor. What's going to have to happen is that they get Span/Kubel back and they start getting on base in front of Mauer and Cuddyer. Revere's just wearing down playing everyday and Casilla's erratic at best. I think they were 1/17 in getting on base in the DH, but even 9 hits from Mauer and Cuddyer aren't producing anything because they're mostly not for extra bases (Cuddyer's homer the exception). Plouffe has shown some definitely pop but he's still hitting in the low 200's. What they need more than anything is a good #2 hitter. It's not Casilla, and it's not Nishioka. Huge problem.
July 19, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 07:37 PM) Have fun losing to the Twins in the first round.. The Yankee rotation could be Keith Olbermann, Jay-Z, and Rudy Giuliani and the Twins would still get swept in the ALDS.
