Posted April 22, 200619 yr Beyond Clemens, the market hasn't defined itself. At some point, the Marlins are expected to shop lefty Dontrelle Willis. In the odd chance the A's flop - don't count on it - Barry Zito could be available. "They are going to move Willis, but they would likely want (Robinson) Cano and (Phil) Hughes from the Yankees," an NL talent evaluator said of the Marlins. That may be too steep a price for the 24-year-old Willis. As for Zito, A's GM Billy Beane has traded Tim Hudson and Mark Mulder to NL teams to avoid having them bite him. If he has to deal Zito, it likely won't be to the Yankees, who didn't nibble last year when the A's wanted Hughes as the centerpiece of a deal for center fielder Mark Kotsay. lol...NY Post for yas.

April 22, 200619 yr Too steep?!?!? More like a steal for the Yankees. Robinson Cano is alright, but Phil Hughes is not even proven yet! TOO STEEP!? MAN, this is not going to happen, someone tell the Yankees to get a pulse, PLEASE! PLUS IF THEY TRADE WILLIS, who will they USE for advertisements, it's already a joke that every announcement they make involves Cabrera and Willis like no one else in the team exists (everyone at the sports bar gets a good laugh out of that.) It'll be ridiculous to trade Willis, that would just be a little too much when you are not even commited long term to a young all-star and still have him through his arbitration years, his price won't go up much, as his numbers won't reflect last years. The Yankees need to focus on Barry Zito and stop dreaming.
April 22, 200619 yr ok so we would get cano,zito and dat other guy 4 willis i would do it if they throw in good Cf and some bullpen pitchers wit another 10 mil :thumbup
April 22, 200619 yr ok so we would get cano,zito and dat other guy 4 willis i would do it if they throw in good Cf and some bullpen pitchers wit another 10 mil :thumbup Or the Yanks can pay 4 our stadium deal either 1 is good
April 22, 200619 yr They'll eventually trade him, especially if he has another 20 win season. And the Yankees would be one of my top guesses but this trade sucks.
April 22, 200619 yr Screw Yankee prospects....Marlins could get more than that for Willis. I'd rather have Joel Guzman from the Dodgers or Howie Kendrick/Brandon Wood from the Angels....much better deals. Willis is a top 5 starter in baseball that gives your team a chance to win every time he takes the mound.
April 22, 200619 yr Looking at teams to trade with an ideal team would be the dodgers... Matt Kemp Russ Martin Chad Billingsley Joel Guzman Not that im for trading Willis but if it comes to that this is an interesting team.
April 22, 200619 yr Cano's the next Soriano for the Yankees, he's not going anywhere. There is plenty of other pitching available that they could trade for w/o having to focus on getting D-Train. If Willis has a great year and we have plenty of prospective pitching that we could make up for and it was a helluva deal I think the Fish would consider trading D-Train. I'm not counting on it though
April 22, 200619 yr If Beinfest makes that trade he should never again work in baseball at any level...Yankees don't have the type of prospects it would take to get the D-Train...as much as idiot yankke fans overrate their farm system
April 22, 200619 yr "They are going to move Willis, but they would likely want (Robinson) Cano and (Phil) Hughes from the Yankees," an NL talent evaluator said of the Marlins. an NL "talent evaluator"?? :lol
April 22, 200619 yr Like Penguino said Id trade Willis for many dollars, like enough dollars to bridge ANY gap in the stadium. Thats the only way Id get rid of him.
April 22, 200619 yr "They are going to move Willis, but they would likely want (Robinson) Cano and (Phil) Hughes from the Yankees," an NL talent evaluator said of the Marlins. an NL "talent evaluator"?? :lol My guess: A groundskeeper at Shea.
