Trade Z to Yanks..NOW!
erik316wttn replied to Benchwarmer's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
If Z can't handle media pressure in Chicago, the Yanks have to know that he'd fold in the intense scrutiny of the New York press. You don't want a headcase going to a pressure cooker like New York. -
hahaha awesome.
-
No word yet on what is coming back to the Phils, but you'd have to imagine some prospects as this is more a salary dump than anything. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/40656663/

I wonder if there was ever any talk of him getting a no-trade clause in his negotiations. Dude has got to be sick of being traded.
-
Exactly. This is a scenario where if the Cubs really wanted someone like Webb or Garza, they should have done everything possible to complete the deal quickly. I don't know why Hendry was fooling around, especially with Webb. He has to have medical records and input from doctors at this point. Either [expletive] or get off the pot. Now, if we do sign him, it's going to cost a hell of a lot more.
-
It's still up in the air at this point. We lose, though, with or without Rodgers. If he sits, we lose by at least 3 touchdowns. It'll be a bloodbath.
-
I don't care, he is #1 in my heart. Same here. I want him to retire a Cub.
-
I guess for some strange reason he really loved his time in Philly when he was there in 2009.
-
The only one that can contend would be one of the old Braves rotations of the 90's.
-
I admire him for not signing for the most money, instead taking other factors into consideration. Not like he won't be paid a crapload in Philly, however.

Mark Prior to Yankees

Who needs Cliff Lee? -
Ugh, biggest FA signing of the offseason, and ESPN has barely mentioned it before going back to endless Brett Favre verbal fellatio.
-
Pick one.
-
Ok, better roation 1-4: Halladay/Lee/Oswalt/Hamels or Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz/Avery?
-
Might be?
-
They are too worried about whether Greinke would hold up under the media pressure to trade for him IMO. Either way its still an after thought. I love seeing the yankees get burned. Grienke is probably too much of a headcase to thrive in New York.
-
Would it affect their lineup?
-
Why not? Pitching wins championships, and it's not like they have any trouble scoring runs.
-
That's my pick. Don't even bother with the regular season.
-
I wonder if Yankee fans being assholes to Cliff Lee's wife during the playoffs factored into his decision.
-
I challenge anybody to name a better one.
-
Ho-lee crap. Let the pants-crapping commence in the NL East.
-
What if you figured Brandon Webb into the plate appearances? Would it change the outcome? What if he was moved up to the cleanup spot?
-
If he signs with Philly he'll be young enough to cash in again in FA on maybe a 2 or 3 year deal before he retires. If Lee would sign with Philly, I could be the #5 starter in that rotation and they'd still win the pennant going away.
