Per WABC and ESPN sources, Maddux will sign with the Yankees as early as Thursday afternoon. WTF? Is he just an insurance policy or will they run a 6-man rotation out there?
Brown, Moose, Vazquez, Contreras, Lieber, and now Maddux.
This is getting more insane by the day. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop on the 2B situation. Da Boss could still pull the trigger on a deal for Vidro, Ronnie Belliard, Mark Loretta, etc if he wanted to.
:mad:
This just in: I <span style='font-size:30pt;line-height:100%'>HATE</span> the Yankees!

I have no idea who they'd give up to get him. They've traded away a lot of their top prospects.

If that happened, it would piece together his plans for next year too. Someone from the NYC media said on Cold Pizza this morning that the Yanks will go get Eric Chavez this winter. He'll play 3rd for them, ARod will move to short, and Jeter will move to center. He said that George would also be willing to spend as much as it takes to buy Pedro away from the Sox (he's a free agent after this year).

Vazquez for Kent.

Yanks and Maddux deal seems to be premature, probably won't happen.

Although Vazquez is not a top seven pitcher in baseball.

[quote="cbfranchise3"] [quote="flyingswoosh"] Vazquez for Kent?
- cbfranchise3 - 02-17-2004 07:11 PM
Barry Zito
Roy Oswalt
So he is #10.

cbfranchise3 Wrote:Barry Zitou could make a case for zito. I had actually put zito 9th but whatever. Now way is Oswalt better than Vazquez. He's close but he's definitely not better. Oswalt has thrown one full season in his career. All of his 3 seasons have been for a good team, while vazquez had to pitch for the expos. Talk to me when Oswalt has 2 or 3 seasons under his belt.
Roy Oswalt

Healthy Oswalt > Healthy Vazquez
- flyingswoosh - 02-17-2004 10:31 PM
i >healthy disagree. How do we know what a full season, healthy oswalt is like? nobody's ever seen it, not even your contacts in Houston.
- cbfranchise3 - 02-17-2004 10:37 PM
How about 19 wins two years ago? How about 43-17 for his career with a ERA which is probably somewhere around 2.5? When healthy, only Prior is better in the NL.

When healthy, only Prior is better in the NL.his ERA is low because he's never had to throw a full season. He has more wins because he's pitched for a team that can hit. Let's talk again at the end of the season.

You also haven't seen Vasquez pitch a season in NY. Remember - Jeff Weaver was a great young pitcher acquisition a couple years ago, until he started pitching in NY.
- rickheel - 02-18-2004 10:05 AM
Looks like he is a Cubbie.

2) You did not just compare jeff weaver to javier vazquez.
