Halladay Would Approve Trade To Yanks
The iYankees Blog Yardbarker Blogger Network  |  1 Comment
Found January 20, 2009 on Eli's MLB Rumors:
Yankees Sign Cabrera
TEAMS: New York Yankees
PLAYERS: Melky Cabrera
The Yankees and Melky Cabrera have agreed to a one year deal worth 1.4 million dollars, avoiding arbitration. Cabrera originally asked for 1.7 million dollars, and the Yankees responded with 1.2 million dollars. Cabrera hit .249 with 8 HR in 129 games for the Yankees last season, and is a career .268 hitter. Cabrera will likely return to the .270-.280 average mark where he was in 2006 and 2007, as well as an OBP around .340. He has decent speed and is just 24, so he could really break out this year for the Yankees if he plays everyday.?

    Did he seriously think that he could get 1.7 mill?! He hit .249 and got demoted and still sucked in AAA.
    Pete Abraham has a humorous take on it here: http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/01/20/ill-have-what-melky-is-drinking/

    who cares what this team does...most MLB fans don't...most of us are laughing, and waiting to call your team out "you have no excuses NYC, for not winning this year...a big NONE...most fans hate your team, after that bad economy fiscal wantoness...it will be NYY Fans against all of us this year...so funny, how when Pitchers and Catchers start, all NYY Fans better get ready to get nailed on here: NO EXCUSES...will be the theme...and for the next three years, minimum...you NYY Fans just won't have much verbally to counter with on any Blog, forum, etc....and that's fact, haha
