Yankees get nady and marte?

Question

good trade for olendorph and tabata

Answer 1

yeah amazing for the bucs terrible for the yanks. Tabata was the yankees future. Hes only 19 and was rated 48th best prospect by baseball america. I seriously doubt the yanks will ever learn to stop trading young prospects for old veterans....

Answer 2

I think this was a good deal for both teams. The Pirates for once, were dealing from a strength, as they had the best offensive outfield in MLB and 7 left-handed pitchers on their team. The Bucs are going nowhere again this year and must supply their farm system with the talent it lacks and Ohlendorf may even help them this year. The Yankees needed both a right-handed hitting OF and a left-handed reliever and got both for 4 of their many minor league prospects.  Because of the prospects involved, we won't know for years who got the edge in this deal.

Answer 3

See, Thats the thing.. Tabata was a PROOOOOSSSPPPEECCTT!! .. the yankees have had ALOT of Tabata's... Kevin Maas, Ruben Rivera, Ricky Ledee, Eric Duncan, Russell Davis, Drew Henson.....LOTS of Tabata's!! There is NO gurantee that Any hitting Prospect will be ANYTHING in the Majors. Nady has shown he can hit in Majors, Marte has shown he can get out Lefties. They gave up Olendorf who has shown great stuff, but STILL gets knocked around...in Essence they got Marte and Nady for Tabata.. and kept Hughes, Kennedy, Chamberlain, Horne, The Mexican Pitcher who has been ridiculously good in Minors, he's gone from A to AAA in a single season.. They kept ALL of them... Anyone who sees this as a bad deal for the yankees, has no freegin Idea about the Yankees system, Prospects or Common sense in General.. You fill Two needs and Basically give up a ONE stud PROSPECTin tabata and a Guy Who couldnt get outs in Olendorf.. BRAVO YANKEES... ild have prefered Bay, but ill take Nady.. BRAVO YANKEES for being proactive. Tabata was the Yankees 3rd best Minor League Prospect, not their best hitting prospect.. He, in the last year, has been Passed by Austin Jackson as the Yankees best OF prospect, and the Pirates didnt get Austin Jackson.... On ESPN, Buster Ohnley is saying that the word around the League is they have NO Idea what the h**l the Pirates were thinking because what the Yankees gave up is not enough for what they got.
