3 pitching prospects go to Yankees...any of these guys good?

wtf

Let's hope he's willing to play 1b for the Tigers...

or let's really hope we have that Bondy for Teix deal they've mentioned...

Geez, this is taking trading young for old to a brand new level. Sanchez was our best minor league pitcher, or so I'm told.

I like it, we are loaded with young pitching, and need some patient hitters

just glancing at things. sanchez looks like one of the top 20 or so pitching prospects and the other two look like good reliever prospects.

But is one year of Sheffield, who was injured all year, and his horrible attitude worth three prospects?

38-year olds though?

Why not just give up Sanchez for Soriano mid-season? IIRC that's what the Nats were asking for.
