The difficult part usually is figuring out if you are still in contention or not.

(Remember -- the Indians would be loading for 2009 with this trade.) A Hughes-based package strikes me as much more likely; Cano seems like more than the Yankees should pay, but you never know I guess. I'm a Melky supporter -- people forget how young he is to do what he's doing -- but the Indians are pretty well-stocked with rangy, gap-hitting outfielders right now.<BR/><BR/>Paul, if you can find the Leine's Summer Shady or any of the weisses on tap...let me tell you, that is summer in a glass.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12645578572957938828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-7294025435008495702008-06-17T15:23:00.000-04:002008-06-17T15:23:00.000-04:00a bit of a punch in the face towards marte dont yo...a bit of a punch in the face towards marte dont you think? but, at the same time that poor guy is battered and bruised from the number of slaps he's taken this year. <BR/><BR/>and what do you guys think. do you get slightly nervous when you hear talks about trading cc for possible "prospects". the idea of trading for prospects is always a scary scenario for me. just for the simple truth that your trading away somebody that is "proven" in the hope that your getting in return somebody that can "prove" themselves. i know that sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesnt. but, ive always been one to think the gamble is just too much to go forth on.csusihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575419830013173006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-89808883205391605722008-06-17T15:09:00.000-04:002008-06-17T15:09:00.000-04:00Hmmm...Picking up a 3rd Baseman.

Sabathia, including the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, and Dodgers (the Mets may be another). Gammons agrees with Ken Rosenthal that Mark Shapiro may trade Sabathia soon to maximize his value. Gammons does not see the Yanks jumping in with Phil Hughes or a multi-prospect offer, unless Chien-Ming Wang's injury forces their hand. He does not think the Cubs or Phillies have the goods, but suggests the Rangers as a dark horse."<BR/><BR/><BR/>I'll beg to differ with Rosenthal and Gammons....BUT I'm VERY glad to hear Tribe management is doing their job (assuming the scouting part is true).rodellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464668223136752374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-67066840638149504612008-06-16T10:54:00.000-04:002008-06-16T10:54:00.000-04:00i second that. cheese curds and New Glarus beer a...i second that. cheese curds and New Glarus beer are my two favorite things about wisconsin.<BR/><BR/>totally off topic, but if you saw the movie Once and enjoyed the music, i cannot more highly recommend catching the Swell Season tour.
