Yankees Willing To Listen To Offers For Granderson

[Rylinkus]

I get what you're saying, but as the market of these below average players drys up, it might make Cashman and Brothers NEED to make a deal...I am kind of glad all the Keppingers, Schierholtz, Chavez types are not signing. It makes them be creative and not just sign 1 year stop gaps.

Plus, Reynolds would not be bad and has a higher OBP than Ichiro*... *footnote: credit goes to Ry!

Ichiro sucks. People can't get over it. He was vastly overrated in his prime and is now a shell of that. He's a backup, a plan C. He should not be a starting OFer.

People are making fun of Schierholtz, yet he's been a better player than Ichiro the last 2 seasons. They're calling into question Reynolds OBP, yet Reynolds has a better OBP than Ichiro, and has also been the better offensive player.

[Yank-Knick-Up]

Trade Grandyman for some top notch prospects and then sign Bourne for less money

For what ? Might as well keep Granderson, who can 40-homers. If Grandy is traded, Hamilton will be a Yankee

I love that u hate Itchy when he was actually our best player in the stretch run and playoffs.

Stats schmats.

That dude is a baseball player. Does everything right to help a team win.

I'd even say that he was the ONLY guy I wanted up in a big spot in the playoffs. Well, besides Babe Ibanez.

Exactly. It's fun to replace facts with fiction to prove your point.

I agree, Ichiro was great for us. I'd take him on a one year deal, any day.

Nuff said.

Ichiro was great for us last year. Both the stats and eyetest says so. There is no denying that.

No no no....apparently Nate Sherholz was better based on his xfip war plus stat.

Ichiro was good for us and a subpar player the last 2 years. Do we think that @ 39 he's likely to produce the way he did for 2 months or should we use the last 2 years for basing judgement? Because for the last 2 years he's been a below average offensive player.

I'd make 2 simple points.

The eyeball test only works if you're watching all the guys. I'd imagine if you watched Schierholtz you would think he passes the eyeball test as well.

And as far as stats go, even the simple ones tell you which player was better. Nate has rocked a better OPS than Ichiro for the last 2 seasons.

[Pootamis91]

don't know if this were to happen but would anyone here do one of these trades

To Phillies
Granderson

To Yankees
Brown
Mayberry
mid pitching prospect

or

To Sea
Granderson
Nova

To Yankees
Walker
low prospect

both of these trades would free up money for the Yankees to get more quality players while ejecting youth to the team

[Harry Dunn]

phillies got their guy already.

i'd bring ichiro back, but as a compliment to something else. the offense has to come from somewhere.

Who ? Ben Revere ? That's nothing.

Michael Young?
