Montero Traded from Yankees

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

They actually talked about that in the Yankees game last night with a graphic that stated the last 8 pitchers who had that surgery and 7 of them recovered without a problem. the only one who didnt match his earlier success from that list was jason schmidt

I didn't see the graphic, but was Jake Peavy on it? I think he had the same surgery, and he has fallen way off the table since his injuries. Bottom line is that this trade to evaluate is going to take a lot of time.

"This is a massive decision gone wrong right now," Cashman told ESPNNewYork.com on Friday. "So all scrutiny is fair."

I have no dog is the fight but this was terribly telling of the Yankee's stance as of now.

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

I've been saying this was a terrible move for NY since the night the trade was announced!! And still people are saying "give it 5 years" M's HANDS DOWN won this trade and thats all that needs to be said. Everyone who supported Cashman and his brilliant idea of trading away the Yankees best hitting prospect since Jeter can finally admit it was the wrong move. Cashman already has!

PS...Montero another JACK last night!! R.O.Y

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

We'll considering Montero already won the R.O.Y and that the trade is horrible already even though Pinade is 23. We might as well just end the season today and give the nationals the championship considering things are decided in the first couple of weeks.

READ THE ARTICLE ABOVE.......

I guess Cashman is just making statements to make everyone feel better?? Wrong!!! This is the last thing he wanted to admit to anyone. Face the facts....this trade was clearly WON by the M's.

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

You have made your point very clear that the M's got the better deal.... We all understand

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

I've read the article and it means nothing. The point being is its still to early. The reason cashman said it is because pinade is on the DL. But if he comes back next year and pitches like an all-star,obviously people will be happy with the trade. Even if he comes back and pitches ok and montero becomes a bust, would that still mean the M's got a better deal. Montero had no place on this team, end of topic.

If you're in Baltimore for the Nationals this week please please feel free to call me so we can meet up and discuss this thread one on one. I would love to put a face to all this internet traffic.

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

So it's starting to look like the Yankees probably won this trade. Montero looks to be a bust and Evan a user of peds.

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

Who is Evan? I didn't know Evan was accused of PED use. I hope he gets 50 games for this. Damn you Evan!!!

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

Good time to revisit this..

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

Figured I'd bump this thread one more time to look at how the trade has turned out.

Michael Pineda has so far been a good pitcher for the Yankees. While Jesus Montero is a minor league bum!

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees

Whoa this thread.

Pineda's been worth 6 more wins in his short career thus far while Montero has barely been above replacement level. I'm not sure what the argument is.
