Time will tell if the Dodgers are willing to part ways with Billingsley, but if they do, he could be a pretty decent option as a mid-rotation guy for the New York Yankees. He's pretty durable, as he's pitched at least 188 innings in each of the last four seasons for the Dodgers. And in that four year span his numbers look like this:
2008-2011:
At 27 years old, Billingsley could be just hitting his prime. Sure, it will be a big transition from the National League West to the American League East, but maybe he can make the adjustment. To me, none of the B's (Manny Banuelos and Dellin Betances) or Jesus Montero should be involved in the trade. I'm not a GM, but I wouldn't give up any of those guys for him, maybe Austin Romine and some other fillers will do. If the Yankees miss on some of their top starting pitching plans, they could target Billingsley at the right price.--Jesse Schindler, BYB Staff Writer
