06/28: SI.com: The Trade Block
Posted by: Patrick
SI.com has this picture feature called The Trade Block. I'll save you from reading it and just tell you what involves the Yankees.
Yankees are in the market for: Roger Clemens, Carl Everett, Todd Helton, Aubrey Huff, Austin Kearns, Joe Kennedy, Mark Kotsay, Lyle Overbay, Wily Mo Pena, Mark Redman, Jason Schmidt and Barry Zito.
Yankees on the block: Tom Gordon (Mets, Braves).
Right now, I'm thinking we go with Giambi (with Tino sometimes) at 1B. So, we skip all the first basemen. I think we need to focus our trades on CF (or LF), then RP, then SP. I think if we get a good CF and add a quality arm to the pen, that'll be a good way to go. If a top SP comes along and we have an opportunity to do something... that's fine, too.
I'd like to keep Flash, though. He's pitched well for us. We need more guys like Flash and not less. The same thing would be said (for me) about Posada and Matsui, who have been rumored in trades. Trading either one would be a step back, I feel.
