There's a few steps remaining actually but all of which are supposed to happen w/o a hitch.
1. Selig approval
2. Contract extensions for RJ and Shawn Green
3. Medical exams
I've always admired RJ. The toughest pitcher I've ever seen in my opinion. |

+ I think he neutralizes Papi Ortiz in the playoffs (at least in the games he pitches). I don't mind the extra guy thrown in the deal too, Kaz Ishii. He's got electric stuff and is left handed. He has awful control but as 5th starter (Kevin Brown gets booted) or as a lefty in the bullie, sounds potentially intriguing.
My feelings is that the Yanks have got the best of the off-season in comparison to the Sox so far . Beltran would really make it a very solid winter for NY.
Renteria > Cabrera (not by a lot I think)
Clement < Pedro
Wells > Lowe (but lots of injury/age ?'s here)
Jay Payton = Roberts (-Roberts amazing speed + Payton better overall)
Nothing spectacular so far. Surely there will be more....I know.
Unit >> Vasquez (please)
Pavano > K Brown (K Brown is a piece of crap!)
Wright = Lieber (tough to say at this point, shaky move IMO)
Stanton/Rodriguez > Heredia, etc (Heredia is the worst pitcher in recorded history)
Cairo > Womack (Womack had a career year. Not happy about that move)
Obviously Beltran is way better than Bernie....
Who knows about Giambi's juice. I don't care about that loser!! |

:haha: :stongue: :haha:
They're about even. Tek hits for higher average, Posada walks more. And Tek's defense is WAY better than Jorge.
And Tek is 33. And he wants a 4 year deal. |

And sorry to burst all your collective bubbles, but (as of now) the Randy Johnson deal is dead. It likely will still get done, but will probably not include the Dodgers. So who knows who the Yanks can find to take Vasquez without paying nearly all of his contract.

True dat but he's 4 years younger and generally considered to be a slightly better fielder. Womack career wise has a pretty low OB%. Anyway, it's tough to say for certain.
Yeah, I think the Unit trade will go through eventually with another 3rd team. Probably January sometime. |
