He's a flawed player. I'm not arguing that. But everyone seems okay with other flawed players. We're talking a backup 3rd baseman until ARod gets back. And this team is missing RH power, which Reynolds has in spades. I think he's a solid fit.Quote:

What are you expecting to get in return for a guy who is not a good defender and K's 200 times a year?Quote:

i don't know if you guys have seen this
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/1...-contract.html
so apparently if he retires early the yanks can recoup anywhere from 70%-100% of his remaining 114 million dollar contract if doctors list him as unable to physically play baseball anymore, so for them the best case scenario is this surgery goes awry and they get off the hook.
Flexibility means nothing this year. What are they going to do with an extra 13M for 2013? If you want a few low level prospects just let Granderson play out his contract, offer him the qualifying offer and get 2 picks.Quote:

If it did the team wouldn't have signed Kuroda, Pettitte, etc...
The team also does want to win. Or at least look like it wants to win. Whether you like Granderson or not he is a big part of this offense. Some stats might not be pretty but 84 HRs and 225 RBIs over the last two years isn't nothing.
Instant replay will be expanded:

Via Jayson Stark: Instant replay is unlikely to be expanded in time for next season. MLB tested out a new system for fair-or-foul calls at Yankee Stadium and CitiField late last season, but the league can’t decide on a technology or how to employ it. We went through the exact same “MLB is looking into it … lol too bad” song and dance last offseason.

Either way this year is the last run with the current roster.....a serious change is needed with an injection of youth......we have no Bernie Williams or Derek Jeter on this roster....This team is old and needs to stay healthy to have a shot...Cano is 30.....we needed some 22-24 yr old position players coming up and it is not there....
The team will win games but Andy, Kuroda and Mo need to be successful....along with Jeter and a few others."
I'm not disagreeing with any of this. But trading Granderson for whatever we can get doesn't help with any of this.Quote:
