Baseball Blogs Weigh In: Sabathia, Yankees, Pirates, Rays

Shocking

NY isn't done after the Swisher acquisition.

Andy Sonnanstine and Bradford, enough to get Ethier? Wow. Dodgers fans are going to flip when they read this.

Also being written in the baseball Blogosphere, the death of FJM.... :(

"we'd love to upgrade the offense, upgrade our pitching, and rebuild the bench."

Yep. that about sums up the Pirates of the last 15 years and proof that high draft picks every year means little.

Sonnanstine and Bradford for Ethier. Wow, talk about starting pitching being overvalued, that trade offer is a joke. Sonny is decent but I think everyone would agree an established young hitter is more valuable than a 4-5 starter with average stuff.

I had to to a double take when I seen "Pirates" in the headline title, I would be amazed if they actually sign someone to a major league contract before March.

Samesies, GeneralManager. His stuff definitely upticked out of the pen in the playoffs.

Big E, only if you are picking up most of that remaining contract

This is what I wrote in the page of the article:

"Sonnanstine and Bradford are TOO much for Ethier? How much crack are you smoking. I don't care what the Ray's needs are, Ethier is worth much more than both of those guys. Also, you say Sonnanstine would be a 2 or 3 in most other staffs? He would be the 4th on the Dodgers WITHOUT an ace or 2 pitcher Free Agent signing.

To the author of the article...if you want to speculate a trade, make it one that isn't borderline stupid (no offense, I'm just sick of dumb trade offers that include Dodger players)."
