Reports out of NY.. The White Sox will ship Matt Thornton to the Yankees for Austin Romine. I am not to sure, if there is more to deal this or not..

O.o. I really doubt that, but if that happens, awesome. I'm not so confident in Flowers' ability to make consistent contact, so it'd be nice to get a top tier catching prospect.

 

Link?

I believe you'd be hard-pressed to find a link to a trade rumor of this ilk. It seems way to good for the White Sox.

Romine is hardly a top tier catching prospect. He's more of an average regular if things pan out. Still somewhat valuable though.

Damn. That'd be what I would call a "win".

It'd be a phenomenal trade if KW pulled that off. Seriously doubt the validity however.

This would be fantastic if true, which is why I doubt it's true.

 

However, Romine is rather expendable to the Yankees who have Montero.

Tyler Flowers craps all over this dude's minor league stats. Why is that a good thing again?

Just saw his minors stats. You're right. I thought he was better than that given that he was ranked so high in the Yankees' system.

ESPN NY

Phenomenal why? I wouldn't hate the trade, but Romine isn't someone to be giddy over. It would be an adequate return.

I blame the fact he's a NYY prospect. Couple that with Jesus Montero in front of him, and his name is everywhere in any Yankees trade proposal.

Thornton's salary comes off and we'd have a legitimate catching prospect.

How about we trade Matt Thornton and Donny Lucy for Jesus Montero.

 

Deal!

Everybody loves Donny Lucy!

He's supposedly their best defensive catching prospect, while there is question about whether the other guy will even hang at C.

There doesn't appear to be any great upside for the Sox. We trade a quality left handed relief pitcher - rated one of the best mind you - for a AA catching prospect? Maybe with another real good Yankee prospect we would be doing good, but it seems all we are doing here is dumping salary. That is something KW said we wouldn't be doing. He wanted impact major league ready players. He has an infatuation with the Yankees for some reason and has been fleeced before.

Thornton is being discussed, but if I had my inking I would say it was to the NL.

He was still a top 100 in MLB prospect coming into the last 2 seasons based on BA's rankings

Are you talking Montero not hanging on or Romine?

Montero not hanging on at C, blanked on his name.

Need more from the Yankees I think to make this work as a good Sox deal. Plus I think you answered my question to the other post I made. Thanks!

I find that interesting based on all the hype the Yanks had on that guy
