La tory hawkins traded ?

Question

la troy hawkins was traded to the astros for a minor leaguer matt cusick.....

la troy is 1-1 with 5.71 era with the yankees and cusick is batting .285 with 9 hrs and 38 rbis

so is it a good traded by the yankees or bad?

Answer 1

I am actually surprised they were able to get anything for him! Great trade for the yankees!

Answer 2

Cusick, a 2B, had a .285 BA with 9 HRs and 38 RBIs at Single A. I think he'll be a good fit for the Yanks in the future. Hawkins' success is behind him.

Winner: Yankees.

Answer 3

YES!

LaTroy Hawkins was terrible with the Yankees.

I never liked him he gave up a lotta runs >.<

Answer 4

It was a C+ trade because they could've got a better prospect, but in a couple of years Matt cusick will be way better. This looks like a Hanely Ramirez and Lowell deal. The yankees just want to get rid but he still ahs a couple more years which will be at his best, and Matt will be a huge factor to the yankees later in time.

Answer 5

The Yankees designated him last week. So it was not really a trade because he was long gone on July 26.

Answer 6

considering he was designated for assignment and would be released, good :)

Answer 7

It's a "lets just get rid of this guy" trade.

Answer 8

yeah the first guy is right. the yanks have already traded 2 relivers and need now some bullpen
