Another Yankee third base possibility?
I just received today's edition of Lee Sinins's indispensible ATM Reports and learned that there are some awfully interesting rumors circulating in Chicago. Phil Rogers of the Chicago Tribune is reporting (in this article, registration required) that two possibilities are being discussed involving the Yankees and White Sox that would result in somebody better than new addition Tyler Houston manning third base in the Bronx: 1. Jose Valentin to the Yankees for prospects (he mentions Bubba Crosby, Ramon Ramirez, Jorge DePaula and Scott Proctor by name). Juan Uribe, acquired this offseason for Aaron Miles from Colorado, would take over at short. 2. A three-way deal, which would send Valentin and Paul Konerko to Anaheim, Darin Erstad and either Jarrod Washburn, John Lackey or Ramon Ortiz to Chicago and Troy Glaus to the Yankees. Rogers says the Yankees would send prospects to both teams (he specifically mentions Joaquin Arias and Robinson Cano). As a Yankee fan, I'd be really happy with either of these. I have no desire to see the system's talent further reduced, but if we're seriously talking about being able to get established talent like Jose Valentin (who I really like anyway) and especially Troy Glaus for the likes of Bubba Crosby, I can't imagine not biting. Of course, it's also very possible that these rumors are baseless. So we'll see. - |
