Did we actually trade Shane Greene for Didi Gregorius?

[melo]

And here we are throwing Chase Whitley our there in the fire every week instead

In hindsight, this trade is terrible LOL

What was Cashman thinking?

[Decimotox]

Probably that we needed a defensive shortstop. Or, more likely, that we needed a shortstop, period.

But now we need a 5th starter

Yup. Not hard to understand. And Didi has had a really good spring. Excellent in the field and has shown a better than expected bat.

We do? Adam Warren has pretty much won the job. Don't you think he's good enough to hold over until Crapuano and then Nova get back?

[Decimotox]

Wow, perfect timing.

@BryanHoch: Adam Warren is the Yankees' fifth starter, Joe Girardi said.

Another great thread trudat

Starting SS > #5 starter

Not that hard to see why the deal was made.

Bingo.

5th Starters are not that valuable.

On average that spot is a platoon of 50-125 IP guys who barely manage sub-5.00 ERA stuff.

Considering that, healthy, this team has:
Tanaka
Pineda
Eovaldi
Sabathia
Nova
Warren
Capuano

The lack of Shane Greene is not worth missing out on Didi.

Didi hits .300/.342/.500 while flashing stellar leather... and you're complaining?

He's the same way in the Giants forum. It's pathetic.

Shane Greene isn't just another arm. He showed promise of being a #3 starter down the line and I know he wasn't much of a prospect to begin with but we all saw the potential in him. He fixed his location for the most part and turned into a stud for us despite a couple poor starts.

He's the same way in the Giants forum. It's pathetic.

1) I probably post in the Giants forum 5 times a year
2) I was the first person to say he likes the Odell pick in a thread of constant complaining about picking a future HOF'er at #13. How funny.
3) I'll bump this thread later on when Didi is on the DL and/or struggling while Shane is dealing
