I don't really get why Melky Cabrera is being tossed around as a piece of trash or waiver bait. He has okay range for CF, a howitzer mounted on his shoulder, and a reasonable bat. He also costs less than Thremp's annual salary.

there's no WAY the last sentence is true. Well, actually, nm, Thremp is prob a sick sports bettor.

One thing that concerns me about Melky Cabrera is his OBP drop from year 1 to year 2 - fluke, or what? Metrics don't seem to love his range. Is he supposed to develop into a 10-15 HR guy?

I like Melky a lot and hope he remains a Yankee - but I don't think he's being regarded as a throw-in to this potential deal.
