Diamondbacks Open to Discussing Justin Upton

[LeoYankee]

I'd give em

Cano
Grandy
Hughes
Joba
Pineda


Oh.

[Rylinkus]

I'd give em

Cano
Grandy
Hughes
Joba
Pineda


Oh.

And they won't want 3 guys that are expensive and have one year left on their contracts. What good do Hughes, Granderson, Joba, and Cano do for a team trying to rebuild?

Oh.

Leo, I'd love that deal but here not taking salary like that. Then again, maybe you're being sarcastic.

Umm...joke. Hello?

[LeoYankee]

If we can't show them 5 guys they'd want, we should murder our farm teams.

Mike Stanton is a pretty special young player, which is why so many people want the guy.

[theslick1]

They can have the "core four" and anyone else on our team except Cervelli because we need him to catch.

[LeoYankee]

Ok, lets look at it from Miami.

Would u not better ur self by taking:

Cano ( and give him 7/175)
Gardner
Nova
Pineda
Drob

.?

Lol! True dat!

Those of you who keep going on about Upton being overrated are clueless. His numbers are pretty similar to Swisher's overall (less consistent, but better "peaks") and is unquestionably better on the bases. The difference is Upton hasn't had the privilege of Yankee stadium or a stacked lineup to play in. Oh yeah, and he's still not even in his prime while Swisher has been in his.

Depending on the price of prospects, he would easily be worth the trade. You guys cry about Swisher leaving, but Upton could easily produce as good a season, if not better, and is only a kid.

You're right though, he sucks and he's overrated.

Clueless.

Your obviously clueless. You obviously don't understand what I'm saying by over rated. I never thought said he wasn't a good ball player. But his strike outs are alarming. 135 a year roughly, his home and away splits. Also the fact that people think he's going to be the savoir of this team. Everyone wants to give up the farm for the guy.

The Yankees are trying to cut down on payroll not pay someone 10-15 million a year.

The Yankees don't really have the prospects to get him. Outside of bullpen depth almost all of our talent is in the first lower levels. So by trading away the little that we have to fill one position isn't helping, it's Hurting.

After this year.

3B- can arod stay healthy and play 3rd base
SS- can Jeter stay healthy and play Short stop
2B- cano gone? Adams ready?
Granderson- gone
Hughes?
Losing kuroda and pettitte?
Catcher-? Lol?

Our only own starters are

Sabathia(injury concerns)
Nova- can he lower his XBH and BB?
Phelps- will he be good enough to stay in the back of the rotation?

I just don't think he's worth what they are asking for him PLUS his salary over the next 3 years. Add too fact almost any team can put together a better package then us to get him. To me he is not worth it. He's over rated compared to what is going to be givin up to get him.

I think Arizona does this for attention. Nobody gives a **** about the D'backs until they throw that overrated POS name out there. I hate the Diamondbacks.

Which is why a guy like Upton who would be here until 2015 and possibly beyond is very valuable, even with his flaws he's a great player.

So we should trade away chips within our farm who could possibly fill all those positions? How does that help?

"Possibly". Upton WILL fill a position of need - a young right handed OF bat.

How does that not help?
