It's pretty much popular opinion that Montero's future is at DH. Top catching prospects don't grow on trees. Not saying either (Romine or Sanchez) is untouchable, obviously. But for a couple months of EJ? I don't see it. I actually don't anticipate much of anything happening anywhere. I expect Beltran to get traded. Possibly Heath Bell. Maybe some smaller moves (i.e. bullpen additions) But teams just don't want to, or are in no position to, trade prospects right now. And that makes for a rather boring trade season.

 

One thing working for the Yankees is that they have no fear of Scott Borass. They also have seen Jackson about as much as anyone has by virtue of being in the AL East.

Edwin NOT scheduled to make his start for us on Friday. Could be a sign?

Not at the expense of a top prospect. You trade elite prospects for Cliff Lee's and CC Sabathia's. Not Edwin Jackson.

Sometimes teams do, especially in a weak market.

I don't see how that's anything abnormal with the rotation.

 

Floyed pitched before Jackson. Floyd, Jackson, Buehrle, Peavy, Danks...Floyd...

Or maybe the point of the tweet was that after Floyd being scheduled to start Friday, it says "TBA" for the next projected starter.

Well they haven't decided when Humber would start again either...

I thought I heard Humber would start on Thursday. Maybe not though.

Yeah I gotcha on the TBA but Edwin would have never been scheduled Friday

Simulated game vs. Mark Prior?

I hope we don't trade Edwin to NYY in time for him to pitch against us.

We know he'd throw a 2-hit shutout vs. our powerful lineup.

He's playing like s*** this year.

Congrats you're an idiot.

 

I bet you'd do anything to have Montero now instead of Frasor and Stewart.

Some recent succesful ones might include Ian Kennedy, Marcus Thames, Juan Rivera

Kennedy, Jackson, Clippard, Melancon, McAllister, Karstens, McCutchen, Tabata, etc. None of them are super stars but only Tabata and Jackson were given that label.

With Edwin traded, I'm closing this thread.
