Yankees acquire Dustin Ackley from the Mariners, don't know who they traded for him.

cool, mlb only reported Ackley!

 

[Rick2583]

Okay I'll bite, who the hell is Ackley?

2nd baseman outfielder, guess he lost 2nd Base when Cano came to town. Has a batting average about 60 points higher than Stevie Wonder Drew. You never know coming from near the bottom to the current top might stoke him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[yankeesince59]

...this could very well be the turning point in this season. ...Dustin Ackley, remember the date and remember the name.

 

[yankeesince59]

...OK, who's gone?..Drew or Ryan?...I wanted them replaced, but with Ackley?

...I was thinking maybe the kid from the Rockies..

 

[Rick2583]

Looks to me like just another reason to keep Refsnyder down on the farm.

I wish I could say I was stoked, but I'm not. I am concerned though, Cashman couldn't trade baseball cards.

Even better scenario with Ackley* acquisition............
goodbye Stephen Drew. Have a good life because
you sure sucked in Yankee pinstripes. Adios.

* Ackley at least is hitting above .200.............barely!

Says a lot about a GM who can't / won't pull trigger
on a starting pitcher.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

If the Yankees could find a way to get rid of Drew and Garrett Jones we'd all be happy.

I don't see the purpose of this except for getting a guy who was a super high draft pick but has underachieved greatly.

...hey, it's Cashman.

 

[Hammerojustice]

What the eff??????

 

[cagedlion]

Media calls Trashman economical........... I call him cheap.

He goes out of his way to make the most unherald moves
that have little or no impact. Unreal.

 

[Hammerojustice]

This move reaks of making a move just for the sake of a move...

...sadly, the Steins are probably impressed by this sphincter tightening move...high fives all around.

Sadly, I can't disagree with you

 

[totus44]

I read a rumor...it was a twitter post that Seattle reached out to Yanks about Cano.

can you give us some specifics Tote...? I'm not sure what you mean, honestly.....!

Your right spot on there.......

I'd initially refuse to trade with Him, keep a door open tho', let him dwell on it, make him think he's saving Yankee Baseball.....

If I could get a buck for every Cashman Prospect Rookie Card, and every trading card thereafter of the same player, I'd make a fortune, 1st by refusing to do business, let him dwell on it, then offer a trade to him, while he pays quadruple of what was originally agreed upon...

that's how Trashman rolls, in panic mode, with NO Foresight at all.....IMO......!!!
