Around SBN: Odds On Peyton Manning's Next Home Includes Three Teams

Melky Cabrera

Yo_yo_2_tiny by OpiateOfTheMasses on

Littlefield should have dealt Gonzalez for the Yankee's Melky Cabrera.  For one thing, his fielding is a whole lot better than Nady's, and he has a lot more upside as a hitter.  The Yankees had/have a lot of trouble with their bullpen outside of the sandman, therefore they could've used a stud like Gonzo for a setup guy, or as the heir apparent to sandman.  And I'm sure no one would mind not having Laroche who is currently batting a solid .098 around and big country in his place.  Damn, I wish we had a better front office.  I know middle schoolers who could probably analyze talent better.

Cabrera does not have LaRoche's "upside"
Cabrera lacks a very important thing that LaRoche has in abundance: power. Cabrera profiles to hit as well as LaRoche without all the home runs. Cabrera's advantage is not his talent, it's his age.

My god...
everybody needs to relax with the LaRoched bashing.  It's April 26th.  He hit .200 last April.  Let him go.  If you want to bitch about him, he has to get until early June until you can start saying he's a disaster.

LaRoche...
Agreed. Let him get in his groove and then we'll see who thinks we should have traded for Melky Cabrera...

Holy Christ, Cabrera's OPS is .424
.424!  He has 14 singles and 2 walks in 71 AB.  Damn, we're missing out.

Wait till September
I agree we need to see what the whole season brings. I'll bet by Sept, Laroche has many more HRs, walks, and RBIs than Melky. Probably more Game Winning Hits as well.
