I still don't like giving up a .300 hitting 20 year old. Montero has an all star bat. We're not gonna like watching him elsewhere.

Obviously he's a 1a to Sabathia's 1, but who leaves the rotation? Do they go to a 6 man rotation? Does Hughes get put back in the bullpen when he gets closer to his innings limit? Do they trade Vazquez while his trade value is high again? I'd hate to trade Montero because he's going to be a beast at the plate, especially when they could perhaps just sign Lee as a free agent this winter.

this is stupid, we don't need lee whatsoever. this is overkill.

right now in the playoffs our 3 would be CC, Andy, Hughes. If we needed a 4th guy, it'd be Burnett. we don't need lee, he now bumps hughes out of a playoff start, which he's earned. this is horrible, if the yankees win, it's like so what, how could they not?

the best team in baseball shouldnt have to go get cliff lee.. not in a million years.

i'll say this, i would replace burnett in a heartbeat - never was a big fan of his and i dont htink he brings much to the yanks when they need it most. also, from what isles said, yes, i'd get rid of vasquez now. the guy is not yankee material and cannot be trusted (like burnett) when you need him to pitch well.

if we could do it without losing montero, great, if not, then we can always sign montero down the road.....besides arent the yanks about to get werth also? he'd round out the line-up nicely and make the short porch his bitch!

c'mpm nyk, this is the yanks, not knicks. we are in it to win it every year. w

i love it!!! i love the fact that the yankees would go out and do this, to ensure winning because as an organization that should be their goal and by all means they are doing the right thing from a organizational standpoint. as a fan though, i think the victories kinda lose something.

i know you say you'd replace burnett and vazquez in a heartbeat, but there are taems in this league that would love to have both of them, why do need a #1 starter every spot in the rotation? i dunno, i don't like the way this smells.

Shocking if true, since it seemed like a done deal all afternoon. The Mariners were believed to be receiving Jesus Montero, David Adams and Zach McAllister for Lee. Sherman says the Mariners were concerned about Adams' ankle and that another team has stepped up with a big offer.

i look at it like this - if Philly is in contention this year to play us in the series again, i'd like nothing more than their former player belting HR's while wearing pinstripes. As for Lee, he flat out owns us - and we have the best 1-9 line-up in baseball arguably. why not get him on our side.

yes, we are the yanks, and we are a bit absurd, but....we win championships so it's ok. wiould you rather have those schmucks in beantown or tampa bay getting him and trying to re-establish themselves to take over our #1 spot?

besides, i know you and i know as true as the day is long that your ass will be just as drunk as mine if we win it again! nothing lost in those vistories and the only smell i'll care about is the jack daniels i'll be sniffin' on when we do win again.

i guess my point really is - STFU and go get laid! lol! love ya

LOL!! you are a nut bro. you and i know both know we'd both be allanfan'd if we won the series, but dammit it just feels so wrong doing it with cliff lee

i got no problem stfu'n and gettin laid.. i think im goin sebstar on some chicks tonight

i don't trust Robertson or Park either... both of them have been shaky as well this year.
