gateb Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Corey Lidle. Three of the Yankees best prospects not name Phillip Hughes and Jose something, a pitcher. If one of the guys is Melky, will you be very upset? Take it for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJint Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I will be devistated if it was Melky.......Yanks won't give him up. If the yanks get abreu what will happen when sheff is healthy? I like the idea of lidle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so-cal dub Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I dont think Melky is in the deal. Neither is Hughes or Tabata. It's more of a contract take over deal, with three prospects( none of much value). If Melky does go though, I may weep like a stood up girl on prom night...

JerseyJint Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 The Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees have a tentative deal to send Phillies right fiedler Bobby Abreu and pitcher Cory Lidle to New York ESPN.com's Buster Olney reported Sunday. ESPN.com's Jayson Stark reported the Yankees will send 18-year-old minor-league shrotstop C.J. Henry -- their No. 1 pick in 2005 -- and 27-year-old left-handed reliever Matt Smith. The Phillies will also pick one other minor-leauge player from an agreed-upon list, while the Yankees will take on responsibility for Abreu and Lidle's contracts. Abreu is hitting .277 with 8 home runs and 65 RBI in 99 games. He has a career batting average of .301 with 198 home runs and 841 RBI over 10 seasons. Lidle, a right-hander, is 8-7 with a 4.74 ERA in 21 starts in 2006. In eight seasons he has a career mark of 78-69 with a 4.54 ERA. Abreu was in the Phillies' starting lineup Sunday but was pulled for Shane Victorino 10 minutes before their game with the Florida Marlins.

TheMessiah Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I would be so angry if the Yankees traded Melky.....I guess I am fine with the proposed trade but CJ Henry is going to hell of a player,granted he wasn't going to be up anytime soon but whatever.

spear33 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 How many years are left on Abreu's contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 How many years are left on Abreu's contract? 2 or 3 at 13-15 per. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 Now it's even more obvous that the Phillies didn't care what they got in return for Abreu. They just wanted to dump his salary. You guys really didn't need Henry anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jranieli Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 It is now official. I am watching the Phillies/Marlins game and they just said the trade is official. Abreu is still on the bench though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njsmalls Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I guess we didn't give up much for him...that's ok. Hopefully he's only a two or three month "rental" But what about Sheff and Matsui? Not to mention a pitcher from the NL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention a pitcher from the NL. It's not a rental unless they trade him- and even then they might have to pay some of his salary. I think the Yankees are paying him for the next two years.

LorfTVP Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I doubt they'd just flip Abreu, especially considering his contract. Abreu's talents fit in perfectly with the Yankees organization, his .427 OBP ranks sixth in the majors and first in the NL in walks...and the Yankees short right field porch should help Abreu improve his power numbers. I'm still fuming a bit over this deal...now I'm gonna have to trade Abreu off my fantasy team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShocker Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Not to mention a pitcher from the NL. Lidle actually played before with Oakland and some other AL team..I wanna say the Twins. He played with Johnny Damon who fully endorsed him..his numbers arent that great but they were saying that he eats innings well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ggirl Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Hmmm.......sounds to me like you Yankee fans aren't too pleased that the Yanks acquired Abreu. Wonder why the brains of the organization wanted him so badly? Guess we'll see who knows best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Don't you guys thin Abreu is overrated? He could be. He may walk a lot, but he also strikes out a lot. Could that mean he takes too third strikes in crucial situations? I don't know. Let's hope his defense is a much added bonus. I saw he won a gold glove last year. I hope that wasn't only because he tried for the sure ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
