UPDATE, 1:54 p.m.: It was less than thirty minutes from the time I got off the phone with Jackson, wrote this post and clicked submit. In that time, it looks like the trade was finalized.
"During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at-bats a season. That means I played 7 years without ever hitting the ball." - Mickey Mantle
Lib when you make the site upgrade, that “Do” has to come with it.
Do you think Dunn or Jackson is holding up that trade?
I think the Yankees are trying to decide how much impact Austin will have in the next 2-3 years while the “core” is still producing.
Just saw your post J. I guess that gives you the answer on Jackson.
All I know is if they make this deal they need a RH hitting 4th OFer that can play all 3 positions and do it 70X.
Do it 30%?
I dont like the thought of Granderson in the leadoff spot and on the bench 15+ games because there is a lefty starting for the other team.
I am figuring on the 4th guy spelling everybody now and then.
If they sign Damon then Swisher or Cabrera becomes that fourth OF.
Swisher hit .250 with 20 HR against lefties
Cabrera-.268
MEL-KY MEL-KY MEL-KY
I think in that scenario Joe’s binder would be making the decision on a game-by-game basis.
for sure
I don’t think the Yanks would resign Damon if they got Granderson, the batting order would be set.

12:48pm: Heyman tweets that an agreement has been reached, with only medicals pending. We’ll do a fresh post once this trade is official.
Sanderson – Granderson, or Granderson – Sanderson? I says Sanderson – Granderson
I think Boras holing up in his bunker and declaring himself generalissimo indicates the market will largely ignore him if he ignores the market.
Jackson, Kennedy and Coke gone.
