I bet if they could retract that trade and get back Phil Coke and Austin Jackson, they would do it. Again we make a bonehead trade and this time they helped beat our Yanks. All those years of not wanting to trade players like Austin and Montiero, what do we do. TRADE THEM. Pineida was damaged goods when we got him. If George was still with us. No WAY on god's green earth would he have accepted what happened. WTG Cashman and Top Brass, once again trading away our best prospects for what? The best strike out king i've seen in many a year. Curtis Granderson! My opinion C.F should be Brett Gardners, Right should be Itchiro, Left, believe it or not, Melky. Get Melky back, he'd be better than Raul or Jones. To me the mold from which the future yankees should be built from is the 1998 Yankees. All clutch and all 280- 300 hitters alike. ONE homerun hitter in Tino. O'neil a 300 hitter with 20 or so homers always around 100 RBI's, BERN BABY BERN... NEED I SAY MORE!!??!! Brosious Super clutch with runners in scoring position with two outs. 1998 baby!! That's how you build a team!! Swisher is a HOT DOG! A-Rod has got to go!! Russell showed a little muscle, and nothing else. Girardi either forgot how to manufacture runs or got complacent with HOME RUN CITY. Once again we are home watching W.S without our Yankees in it.

If Bronx Bombers like home run hitters and a GReat center fielder. The Grandyman Can He gets my vote..
Too many k a year and his postseason woes were just too much to overlook. Yeah, his HR #s are great, but I'm sure the Yankees can overpay someone else too do just as good, without the strikeouts and with more clutch/ hitting in the postseason ability.

It is great that he can hit all the homeruns that he does but he strikes out way too much and that seems to be overlooked. If the team cannot help to get their team with base hits, they are not going to be able to go this distance which was certainly proven this year.
