Who knows what you can get for Cano after such a bad season. Definately nothing like Beltran. The offer is laughable; Kennedy appears to be a bust or needs a lot more seasoning in AAA, A.Jackson is no better than FMart; and Cano doesn't even come close to bringing what Beltran does. I can see why the yanks would want this deal, but not the mets.

I think the Yanks will probably get Tex and 1 big time starting pitcher and another middle of the line type. Nothings guaranteed, but I think the Yanks will be pretty loose with the pursestrings this year in light of being dissapointed with last year's results-

And in reality 89 wins while losing your ace, your all star catchers and several of your other top level offensive players for significant chunks of the year really is something you have to look at with some perspective. Yes they missed the playoffs, but they weren't as far away as some would have you convinced they were. Free agency moreso than trades make sense for this team.

Boras is asking for ARod dollars for Tex... i wouldn't give him much more than $20 mil a year considering what we gave Giambi when we signed him & he was the MVP when we got him.

sure... for a player like Beltran we'd have to give up Joba, Cano, Hughes, Kennedy & Austin Jackson in all likelihood... what was i thinking.

You should know plenty about busts Jay.. the Mets have come up with about 1000000 busts at SP over the past few years. But hey, the ones that worked out like Kazmir are pitching great, but for someone else.

i didn't say that's all he's worth, only that i wouldn't give up much else... who else would i give? Joba? please excuse me while i laugh my ass off... i already gave my reasons why i wouldn't give up Cano... ARod? please, another laugher.

Beltran is going anywhere. Especially for a junk package.

Pelfrey is 24 and Hughes 22. Pelfreys first 2 years he was absolutely terrible, sporting ERAs above 5.50, I guarantee you that Hughes has a better year than Pelfrey does next year, when Hughes is in his 3rd year.

counting 65IP and 28IP years when he was still a starter? i guess phil hughes has already had 2 bad seasons as well.
