WHICH TRADE WILL MAKE THE YANKEES BETTER?

This post is about trades. A few weeks ago, we put together some polling of what free agent you would most want on the Yankees, we did one poll on hitters and one poll on pitchers. The voting was overwhelming and concluded that Prince Fielder and Mark Buehrle were your choices. I’d love them both, but only one I believe is truly realistic and that’s Mark Buehrle.
Prince Fielder is looking for a gigantic pay day and the timing between he and the New York Yankees is just off. So, most likely we move on, unless of course the Yanks put him under the Christmas tree and it comes to everyone’s surprise. Honestly though, it ain’t happening. We have Mark Teixeira and there is no place for the Prince unless the 27 year old is going to ride the bench and be our Designated hitter. Forget it.

With all the talk of Free Agents and top pitchers that are being wined and dined by teams like the Miami Marlins, you tend to forget that trades can happen too. So we will be conducting 2 polls asking the simple question, Which hitter would you trade for and Which pitcher would you trade for?

To be honest, it’s not a fair question and I know that up front. For 1, I don’t ask who you’d want to give up and this is done for simplicity purposes. We are asking the question to gauge what Yankee fans are feeling and who they want to see on the Yankees. Once the polls are concluded, I will write a piece explaining the results of the polling as well as who I believe the Yankees could give up for the top player or pitcher picked. Deal? OK.

So take a moment, look over 2 polls and vote. You can find the polls on the right and left side of the top post on Bleeding Yankee Blue. Have fun with it but in all seriousness, pick the guy you would like to see most. Thanks.
