Baseball Blogs Weigh In

We've got a new feature here at MLBTR called Baseball Blogs Weigh In.  It's pretty self-explanatory.  I link to top-notch blogs giving their take on recent moves.

• Aaron Gleeman looks closely at the big Delmon for Garza swap and finds the Rays the victors.  One major factor cited is Jason Bartlett's defense being far superior to Brendan Harris'.  Throw in Eduardo Morlan and I see where Gleeman's coming from.
• Matthew Cerrone isn't thrilled with the Lastings Milledge deal, but he at least sees where the Mets are coming from and trusts Omar Minaya's judgment.
• Joe Pawlikowski makes a case for Andruw Jones over Aaron Rowand, if the Yankees create a center field vacancy by trading Melky Cabrera.
• Larry Borowsky doesn't hate the Cesar Izturis signing for the Cards; he just thinks Izturis is the same player as Brendan Ryan.

I liked Gleeman's take on the Young trade a lot, but the bet that Young becomes a star is a good one.

I predict Alexi Casilla takes over at shortstop...

I write a blog at http://ultimatebaseball-cGouds.blogspot.com so I'll way in too.
The Milledge deal was horrible, however, I understand that Omar is trying to improve the rotation and an expert game caller in schneider is a huge improvement over Estrada or LoDuca(not so much Castro). I've discussed my displeasure for this trade on my blog, but I've since cooled down a lot.
I believe the best way for the Yanks to fix their center field vacancy is a Alexia Ramirez/ Bernie Williams platoon. It not only makes the fans happy by bringing Bernie back, it adds a young, high potential player to the team.
