What do u think about the yankees trade for marte and nady?

Question

7:17pm: Baseball Digest Daily says the Pirates will receive Jose Tabata, Ross Ohlendorf, and two other minor leaguers (perhaps Phil Coke and George Kontos, based on rumors). SI.com's Jon Heyman is on board with that. A separate Pirates rumor was squashed tonight - they are not close to trading Jason Bay to the Braves. 6:57pm: Carroll says the Yankees acquired Nady and Marte. The Pirates confirmed that both players have been traded pending physicals, but haven't given details about the recipient or return. 6:46pm: MetsBlog relays an FSN Pittsburgh report that both Nady and Damaso Marte have been traded.

Answer 1

good for the yanks, they made a good trade, now all they need is bonds

Answer 2

Nady is a great hitter. I can see him doing great things for us.

Answer 3

i say good for the yankees.  i would like to see them go far in their last season at yankee stadium.

Answer 4

nady is overrated and is not the big help the yankees needed

Answer 5

They got a pretty d**n good bat and a solid reliever, but what about the prospects they gave up? I haven't heard of any of them other than Ohlendorf so i can't really judge this trade. We will see in a few years how Nady and Marte are doing for the Yanks, and how the prospects are comming along for Pittsburgh.

Answer 6

The Yankees continue to beef up their squad - in the hopes at making a serious run in the playoffs. Considering they've opened the 2008 second half 8-0, and coming off a shutout victory in FENWAY? The confidence is soaring higher than ever.

Answer 7

The yankees pretty much robbed the Pirates. Although Jose Tabata is a great young player, Ross Olendorf isn't a good pitcher and the way the pirates handle pitching prospects I wouldn't be surprised if Coke and Kontos turn out to be busts but I hope not.

Nady makes the Yankees lineup the best in the Al East, giving them some depth so they won't have to play Bret Gardner or Chrisitan as much. And Marte is a great addition to the bullpen because he pitches very well against both lefties and righties.

Answer 8

jose tabata was a great minor league prospect

but the yanks need someone now

not someone who will be an asset two seasons from now

i think it's a great move especially since they need help in getting the lead in the AL East
