Mike ‘F-ing’ Cameron, Jake Peavy, Matt Holliday
Ok, first things first. Or heart-attacks first.
The Yankees have had discussions with the brewers about Mike Cameron.
[Insert Expletive Here]
No, I’m not kidding. And it only gets better. George King of the NY Post confirms that the yankees have talked about Melky Cabrera and a pitching prospect (Most likely Ian Kennedy), for Cameron. Hey Cash, Just a quick question:
Why the !@#$ would you make this deal? Lets discuss..
Melky Cabrera and Ian Kennedy are both under the age of 24 and believe it or not, still have some upside. There just too young to make decisions on. Melky led the league in assists and Kennedy has shown great pitching at AAA and maybe with some coaching could help turn that into great pitching at the major league level. Now lets talk about Cameron.
1. Cameron is 35 years old (36 in January).
2. Cameron hit .243 with 25 HR last year. Not much of an upgrade over Melky.
3. Cameron strikes out about 150 times a year, about once in every 3 AB, or average of once a game.
4. Has already served a suspension for violating baseballs doping policy.
Are you still so interested in this guy? Yeah, thats what I thought.
Theres been tons of stuff circulating today about the yanks and Jake Peavy. Micheal Kay has claimed the yanks are talking about a Austin Jackson, Phil Hughes, and Ian Kennedy deal for Peavy. (I’m lukewarm on this, but not completely sold). And Kevin Towers has claimed that there is no way Peavy will be going to the yanks as he will only be traded to an NL team.
If i had to bet on this, I would still say he’s going to the Braves. However anything can happen in the trade market. Did anyone ever think the yanks would get Pay-Rod in the 04 offseason?
Matt Holliday rumors had intensified this morning but have since cooled off. The yanks were
supposed to be getting a pitching prospect in return from Matsui to Seattle and shoot him with Robinson Cano and another prospect to Seattle for Matt Holliday.

Yankees Sign Sergio Mitre
According
to MLB.COM, The yanks signed Sergio Mitre to a minor league deal today worth
about 1.25 million. There is also a club option available for 2010. Not a bad
move to try and bolster the bullpen but I wouldn’t get high hopes that this is
the guy thats gonna help us get the bridge to Mariano. This kid is still young
(28 in February), but last season had Tommy John Surgery in July. So at bare
minimum, we might see him making some rehab starts after the All Star Break.
Here are his career stats.

Obviously these are nothing impressive. If I were NY, I would give the kid some time to try and redevelop himself. Remember Brian Bruney? Its the same scenario.
—In other news, MLBTR released a list of where they believe the Top 50 free agents will sign. They listed C.C. Sabathia at No. 1 and had him signing with us. Also listed as signing with us include Derek Lowe at No. 6, and Andy Pettitte resigning at No. 16. Other signings of interest include Damaso Marte signing with St. Louis at No. 43. Hmmmmmmmm….. Jason Giambi at No. 20 returning to Oakland, Bobby Abreu at No. 14 signing with the Chicago Flubs, Pudge at No, 31 with the Division Winning Mets, And they predict Mike Mussina at No. 11 will retire.

—The GM Meetings started today and are scheduled to run through the week. Other than the Mitre signing, almost nothing has come out of the meetings from any team.
—The Rockies have announced that Matt Holliday and Garret Atkins are on the block, yeah, tell me somthing new… The yanks should look into trading for Matt Holliday. However only if they can sign him to a guaranteed extension. I’m not in the mood to trade three or four plus prospects for a guy we are only going to have for a year.
Its that time again, Time to fire up the Hot Stove.
