the bullpen itself is enough of a factor that I think the yankees have a 5% shot of winning the ws right now.

[/ QUOTE ]

Trades will happen around the All-Star break if the bullpen is still performing as it is now.

[/ QUOTE ]

who is on the market? that is not very convincing.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think that we will pick up a quality setup man by trading Duncan and cash. I don't like giving up Duncan, but if our bullpen is doing that bad at the time then I don't think we'll have any choice in the matter.

I also think that if the Astros are still doing bad at the deadline, then Clemens will invoke his gentleman's agreement with the Astros ownership and he will take a plane to NY. That will help us with our pitching.

[/ QUOTE ]

do not count on clemens. the owner has come out and said he won't be traded. i asked who is on the market, and you have no idea. that's because it is not easy to pick those players up. we have nothing to trade with.

You mean nobody wants some Wang?

Yanks better try to get Cameron from the Mets. A CF is the most pressing need followed by some RP.

[/ QUOTE ]

Cameron isn't good.

[/ QUOTE ]

You don't know what you're talking about. He's one of the best defensive CFs in the game. And his hitting sucks, but it's not as bad as Bernie's. Bernie has 0 bat speed. Our problem in CF is not offense, it's defense. Bernie has some Gold Gloves but they're from 5 years ago. Cameron still has a great glove.

Cameron still isn't good. There are better options for George and his money out there. Matt Lawton would be better. There are many guys who are better that their teams will give up at the all-star break when they're 30 games under .500 and have no chance at the playoffs.

[Dead]

I hope so. Obviously Cameron is not the best CF available. But I'm being realistic. I'm not sure that the Yankees can do much better, with what little in prospects they have to offer.

I do hope that you are right and that we can get someone who can hit as well.

Score update:

Yankees 1, Oakland 0, in the bottom of the first. Matsui hit an RBI triple, scoring Womack from first.
