If the Mets don’t have what it would take to get this done, exactly who do the Yankees have? Phil “DL” Hughes and Ian Kennedy, I think, have been discovered to be just hype, and beyond them, their guys of potential value are years away.

Why would the Braves care about the Yankees or Angels? It's not like he's a free agent looking to up the bidding. “he doesn’t really want to play for the Yankees, he wants to play for the Braves, and by publicly mentioning the Yankees and Angels, it may spook other teams to be more aggressive…”

It's not like he's asking to only be traded to crappy teams. Those are good teams that have as much of a chance as we do without the added obnoxiousness of north east media and some of the ridiculous fans.

Niese and Murphy will undoubtedly contribute to the major league team next year and there is a decent chance F-Mart does too. Why trade all 3 so we can double the number of "(Santana OR Peavy) must regret coming here and watching the pen blow all of their wins" posts?

They'd rather play in San Diego or somewhere and have warm weather, an occasional shot at a good team, and a relaxed atmosphere. They're not willing to trade the big risk for the big reward of playing here. No, the thing is, many professional baseball players are cowards.
