    Solarte and DePaula traded. Deal done.

    ...OK, I'll ask the obvious question, "How does this make us better?"...instead of trading Solarte, why not just play him at 3B instead of Headley?

    I really don't think Solarte was that great. He had a good first month or so them came crashing down to earth. Headley has hit much better in July. Trust in me 59 I think this will be a good move and just the start.

    Just saw it flashed on the MLB Breaking News ticker. Better Headly at 3rd than Kelly Johnson who should be on the next train they can get him on. I liked Solarte, really did, wish him well over in "Dago"

    ...my point was that he really doesn't appear to be much better than Solarte, if at all. Yes he finally had a decent month average-wise but he's striking out too often and not hitting HRs...plus, if memory serves, we'd better hope his back holds up.
    ...Solarte finally turned back into a pumpkin but he was under team control and he busts his ass on every play and can play multiple positions. I hope you're right Jill, I really do. But I don't see this as a move that will really help this team...and there had better be more moves to come.

    ...like I said, Chase Utley I would have been happy with...Chase Headley, meh.

    Worth a roll of the dice if Headley can stay hot. Solarte fell off a cliff and De Paula is complete garbage. Still need another move to really help this offense.

    According to De Rosa this is an upgrade, maybe Headly can go to Seven/Eleven and buy lightning in a bottle. Per De-Rosa that "short porch" will help him out but it hasn't done much for Ellsbury who's a much better player. I was really happy for Solarte when he beat out Nunez for a spot. This could evolve to be another thrust in reverse for Cashman. These truly aren't my fathers or my New York Yankees!

    Kelly Johnson has been worse than disappointing.....his fielding (1b,3b) has been more dreadful than his anemic bat.

    ...happy for Headley, happy for the Yanx.

    ...now, shut down Beltran, fix his elbow, and replace him, ....and replace Johnson and Roberts.

    Headley would lose his way in a 7/11 and would wind up buying a bottle of "Thunderbird" thinking he was getting that lightning in a bottle. I'm sure Headley would think MD20/20 was to improve eyesight too....!

    Cashman and The Kidz, sure aren't my Daddy either....nor Pedro's, but King George sure was....!

    I've been saying this since the issue came up. And yes we need a definite up grade over Johnson & Roberts.

    59, I am right there with you. If Beltran is hurting and can't hit then he is useless and should just have surgery and we can trade for a DH and yes replace Roberts keep Johnson on the bench and we need a new RF with power and Ichiro can go back to being a 4th outfielder nothing more.
