Randy not in pinstripes just yet

Of course it will still happen eventually, but at least LA got smart- espn link

There is just no way this would have made the Dodgers better. I also was pretty down on what Arizona was getting. Why in the world would Arizona want to sign Green to a contract extension? He is one of the most over-paid players in baseball right now.

Randy may be old, but he is still one of the most exciting, effective pitchers in baseball. He SHOULD have won the Cy Young this past year, but was penalized for playing on a bad team. There is no reason to think he won't be just as effective this coming year- when he is healthy, he is dominant.

When one of the most effective pitchers in baseball is traded, shouldn't at least one good player be involved in the trade? Can you name any player in that bunch that excites you? Any Cy Young/MVP caliber players involved? No.

Any quality prospects? No.

This deal was great for NY, and bad for everyone else. The Yanks have a depleted farm system, a bloated payroll, players on the roster they no longer want (Giambi and Brown top the list) and yet still are going to get the greatest left-hander in the game.

It will still happen because Randy wants out and will only play for the Yankees. But at least let them come up with a trade that actually is good for ALL the teams.
