Question

What do you think was the best move of the trade deadline?

Answer 1

The Yankees stealing an All-Star catcher, lock as a future Hall of Famer, for a middle reliever, I think Dembrowski is taking tips from Matt Millan

Answer 2

I'm going to go with the CC Sabathia trade.....

2008 MIL 6 6 5 0 0 3 1 48.0 35 12 10 2 11 43 1.88 0.96 .207

Beat those numbers.....

5 wins, 6 games, 48 innings (that'd be 8 innings an outing), 43K's, 10 earned runs and a 1.88 ERA with a .96  WHIP and .207 BAA.

By far the most consistently productive trade of the season......the team isn't playing great outside of him though...

Answer 3

The 3 team trade involving Manny going to LA and Jason Bay to Boston. Both of those guys are playing really well for their new teams.

Answer 4

as a red sox fan, i am really impressed with bay so far... he's been doing great in the outfield and batting great. it's really weird to see the left fielder hustling now! lol

Answer 5

Well it seems like the Manny trade has given immediate results for 2 of the 3 teams (the Pirates got 4 prospects so they cant really benefit from that yet)..Manny is giving some much needed offense to the Dodger team, and Bay is filling in nicely for the RedSox--producing like Manny without the headache.

So i think the Dodger-RedSox-Pirate deal is paying its dividends

But also the Pirates-Yankee deal..Xavier Nady is producing for a very depleted Yankee OF, and Marte (outside of 1 bad appearance) has been great for the Yankees. And i think Nady really made this deal special, 6 RBIs yesterday, 10 total in 8 games with the Yankees, and add in 10 hits and 3 HRs..hes been on fire

So i call it a tossup right now between those two deals  

Answer 6

Sabathia wasn't traded on the deadline, Phil...

I'm going to have to say Pudge to the Yanks

Sabathia was traded during the offseason............................ one day prior is a deadline trade

Answer 7

bay for the red sox he has a hit in all games with the red sox so far and the subtraction of manny and adding bay looks like it has affected the red sox chemistry in a very good way not to mention they have won evry game since bay has come to town

Answer 8

Xavier Nady ( arguabley top 10 hitter in baseball right now) and Marte ( one of te best lefty relievers right now) from the pirates to the yanks for 4 unproven, currently uselss minor leaguers.

And the other one also involves the Yanks getting A hall of fame catcher ( rodriguez)  for a very inconsistent middle reliever ( farnsworth)

Answer 9

Manny, he is playin amazin for da dodgers

Answer 10

I'd have to go with wht the sandman said. The Yankees got Pudge whom hit a homer yesterday and is really great. And they got "X-Man" which was on fire yesterday also. And Marte.

Manny has done great for the Dodgers and Bay has been pretty good also. I wonder how it went for Manny to Marlins to Dodgers... kinda weird.

But overall it looks like a win-win situation for everyone.

Answer 11

The Yankees getting Xavier Nady, Marte and Pudge. They all can help and will power the Yanks for a run at the East.

Answer 12

Manny for nothing, plus the Red Sox are paying his $ 7,000,000 salary.

Next question.

Answer 13

CC Sabathia the best trade...Deadline trade Manny Ramirez.

Answer 14

Manny gives the Dodgers enough depth not to have to play Andruw Jones

Enough Said

Answer 15

I like what Manny is doing with the Dodgers. I think he will lead the Dodgers to the playoffs over the D-Backs if their pitching gets better. But other than that, Nady is doing pretty well for the Yanks too. But I hate the Yankees

Answer 16

dodgers got best deal, by far!! so far, he is 8 for 13 and is over .600 and has already helped win 2 games!! bye, arizona!!

Answer 17

i think the manny trade because hes doing ok for the dodgers and bay is doing great for the red sox

Answer 18

Definetely CC trade

Answer 19

best trade for a single team, Ivan Rodriguez for Farnsworth

best trade for all teams involved, three way trade taking Manny to the Dodgers and J-Bay to the Sox

Answer 20

Manny and Bay. Bay is doing amazing

Answer 21

CC Sabathia and Rich Harden are my top 2 moves...pitching wins all and these guys are great

After that goes to the Twins for pulling up Francisco Liriano and removing Livan Hernandez...as I said Pitching wins championships
