Lee to Texas

[Smooth Operator]

Sounds like it's almost a done deal

Super call to let him go, Amaro



F'n moron.....................

The other rumor is that if they get Lee, they are going to try to send Vasquez to the Phills for Werth. But it's all rumor and speculation at this point.

I'll take the Yanks closer for Werth.

look like a done deal.

I find it hard to believe that Amaro would go for that deal. Would kind of make letting Lee go for peanuts look even worse considering they would be trading for a 34 year old free agent to be Pitcher making 11.5 million this year. So essentially they would have gotten three middling prospects and Javier vasquez for Cliff lee and Jayson werth. Not to mention they have to hope that Vasquez doesnt implode and become a type B FA which means a worse drfat pick if he doesnt resign.

Cliff Clavin going to the Rangers.

Seattle played Amaro so badly on this. They get Lee for three nothing prospects, get an all star 1/2 season out of him then flip him for a stud first baseman who should be a cornerstone for years. There was zero chance that Texas would have traded Smoak for those three mutts the Phillies got.

Supposedly Montero was going to have to be the one the Yanks sent back. Probably a better move they didnt trade him in the long run as they will probably sign Lee in the off season anyway. Jack Zduriencik played the system about as good as it could be played.

The thread is Lee to NY, so explain to me how it has anything to do with attention? You could have just as easily took it down, rather then respond like an *******.

It's like me starting a new thread saying "LeBron to Heat." There's already a place to discuss it. You admitted you're an attention whore by the "ateam breaks the news" comment.
