| One thing you are wrong about MrD. is the fact that yes they were traded to the yankees but a majority or the deals were done because the other team couldnt afford the player due to him being eligible for arbitration at the end of the year or simply couldnt afford to pay the player that year.
Then surprise surprise the Yankees come calling......"Sure we will take that terrible contract on, here we will trade you Johnny Suckbags and Larry Lickmyballs for your good player."
Name one player that was traded from their minor league system that has had a good career in the majors, comparable to all the guys they took in as well.
And no, Eric Milton doesnt count. The guy has a career record of 56-51 with a 4.80 ERA. Thats hardly quality. |
