I never said ONCE that Cleveland WOULD, SHOULD, or WILL make this deal. I never said the Yankees WOULD, SHOULD, or COULD make this deal.
I merely reported what was written in a Seattle newspaper, and said that the Yankees were offering a big package for Sizemore. Period.
Why this causes morons like you to jump down my throat is beyond me. Perhaps stupidity? Perhaps inability to read? Perhaps you don't get enough attention at home & try to get it here? I dunno .. I can't answer that .. all I know is, that Santiago was set to leave the base at 0600.
You can't handle the truth... You want me on that wall... You NEED me on that wall...Brutus1 said:I want the truth!!!
He will actually do a helluva lot better than his stats show from the launching pad called Colorado. Plus in 12 starts, his team only put up 23 runs for him. Triple or quadruple that with the Yanks. Solid pickup IMO, for a hole in the lineup that needs patched.AKAKBUCK said:Welly Welly Well...
Shawn Chacon, huh?
Looks like the Evil Empire is pulling out all the stops now.
Yeah, the hangover will last a bit. I remember Elarton's first start here in Cleveland and he was horrible. Now one year removed from Colorado he is doing alot better. Chacon will probable do decent as a 5th starter next year but this year he is more of a fill-in and pray he can give you 5-6 innings.Sloopy45 said:'Tastic: "He will actually do a helluva lot better than his stats show from the launching pad called Colorado."
Not so fast, my friend. Some pitchers have a Colorado hang-over & have to get used to pitching at sea level. Plus, he's been pitching in the N.L. and is not only going to the A.L., but to the Bronx, where National Leaguers get eaten alive.
First his numbers we're actually not too bad for pitching there, and his record is reflected by who he played for. I think a little Bronx magic takes this guy to a better level. 100 times out of 100 would I rather have this guy pitch than Kevin Brown.Sloopy45 said:'Tastic: "He will actually do a helluva lot better than his stats show from the launching pad called Colorado."

I'm all for the Chacon move, but only because we didn't have anyone to pitch on Saturday. If he ends up doing well, I for one would be surprised.
Hopefully Wright is on his way OUT. Horrible pickup. Hated it from the beginning. Hoping we can get somebody on the free-agent market on the off-season.Sloopy45 said:Piney: "Chacon will probable do decent as a 5th starter next year but this year he is more of a fill-in and pray he can give you 5-6 innings."
I highly doubt that Chacon would be anything more than a long-reliever/spot 5th Starter for the Yanks next year. And, he might be a free agent, I'm not sure.
The Yanks already have 5 starters locked in for next year: Johnson, Mussina (contract year), Pavano, Wright, & Wang.
