The Yankees are just raking in players for nothing. I hate Jim Hendry.

Conflicting opinions here, I see.

 

I think this is a good one from the Pirates perspective. For what ever reason, they soured on Wilson. That they got a started for a guy they didn't want is doesn't suck. At worst, they Chacon for someone they didn't want anymore.

Trader Dave Littlefield has been a busy beaver today I see.

I'm going to go stab myself in the eye.

Man, the Cubs waste their time with trash while the Yankees just take good players for nothing. Chacon is crap, Wilson is more than servicable, and of course Abreu is very good.

I am starting a Cashman appreciation thread. I'm not kidding.

Depends what round the pick is. 4th round? Maybe not.

Why couldn't the Cubs have picked up Wilson when Lee went down? Instead, Hendry had to wait a month before finally making a deal for Nevin. People can criticize the Yankees and Steinbrenner for spending a ton of money, and when you have a high payroll it makes it easier to make trades, but you have to respect a team that is able to make deals like these.
