If Jimenez is available, Yankees need to try to get in on that.

Hey I was just going through my Verizon FiOs menu
There's a banner advertisement that states MLB Extra Innings Half Season Free Preview 7/14-7/20
So maybe some GAFfers get a week worth of enjoyment

Sorry bro, but my team needs pitching, they're apparently making a lefty ace available, and my team happens to have 3 or 4 of the top 50 prospects in the game, including 2 that could potentially replace what the Rockies would be trading.The Frankman said:
So it would make sense for Cashman to at least inquire.
Unless you're just being a Yankee-hating douchelord here, which is plausible <3

The Rockies don't have a single lefty in their starting rotation.
Speaking of lefty aces though, Yankees just picked up J.C Romero.
Might as well give them the trophy now.

Whatever, I fucked up his handedness, I'm posting from a phone while working, eat a dick haters, etc.
Yankees need pitching, have trade pieces, should inquire, end of discussion.

Mets have Mike "Lick My Fingers Every Second" Pelfrey if the yanks are looking for RHP starter.

I nominate that as the world's hottest radar gun. There's no way Zito throws 85 MPH anymore let alone 88.
Yankees could use Ubaldo. No duh? There's no freaking way Cash is banking on Colon + Garcia down the stretch. Ubaldo is the same exact guy he was last year, this year he's as unlucky as much as he was ridiculously lucky last season.
Why would the Rockies trade him though? He has the most team friendly contract for any player in all of baseball (making 2.8 mil this year, 4.2 in 2012, 5.75 in 2013 and 8 in 2014 with buyouts in 13/14). There is absolutely no way they should trade him now.

This is Cashman's revenge for totally missing on Tyler Clippard.
Saddest thing is Romero isn't a prospect he's 35. He's also walked more guys then he has struck out in each of the last 3 seasons. And he's a juicer who's been awful every since getting busted for the juice.

Casman will chide the Phillies in September for over-juicing Romero after he blows multiple holds for the Yanks. Book it.darkside31337 said:

David Waldstein of the New York Times is reporting the Brewers were actually one of the 10 teams on K-Rod's no-trade list when he signed his 3-year, $37 million deal with the Mets after the 2008 season.
So how did he get traded to the Brewers without his consent?
K-Rod's agent at the time of the contract signing, Paul Kinzer, never submitted the list to the Mets.
Oops.

Klaw's updated top-50 prospects is up on Insider: http://klaw.me/mX8Gtn
Jays are Lawrie (9), D'Arnaud (20), Alvarez (39) and Hutchison (48). Lemme know if you want his 2-3 sentence blurbs on anyone (Jays or otherwise).
Top prospects who regressed are Teheran (6 to 12), Hicks (10 to 15), Wil Myers (8 to 16), Banuelos (12 to 18), Montero (4 to 21).

Jose Altuve is #50. Underrated total, anti-Texas liberal bias

David Ortiz and Kevin Gregg suspended 4 games.

Jose Altuve is a god. I'm convinced Keith would haven't put him on the top 50 if Goldstein wasn't singing Altuve's praises every single day.
Not having Trout on the list is silly though. He's clearly overmatched right now at the major league level and there is no way he's not back in the minors once Bourjos gets back off the DL. Keith pretending that Trout's been promoted to the bigs while factual is kind of silly.
Ubaldo has lost a tick off his FB. But he's still averaging 93.9 on it so there's no need to freak out about it. It's been trending upwards as the season has progressed as is basically almost at where it was last year, I do wonder how much that thumb injury was bothering him at the start of the season.

What flag is there to waive?
This closer by committee crap is stupid (I actually agree with the theory behind it as closers are overrated but this is not why TC is doing this). There are no WC hopes this season, it's just building for the future and Parnell is the only guy out of the 3 with a legit chance at being the closer of the future. I'm not even sure why we are keeping Izzy around.

Will it be mostly Parnell? I picked him up for insurance..

sf2fanatic said:
It should be Parnell but to me it sounds like TC is leaning towards Izzy because he's the guy who has been there and done it before while Parnell can be groomed into the role as the season progresses.
Izzy can't get lefties out for his life, Parnell's struggled with lefties in the past, and Beato's raw. Doesn't matter how in on the trade he was, there's no solid guy. Parnell's done pretty well, but we've seen this shit from him before. Just roll with Parnell until the clock strikes midnight.
Parnell reminds me of Heath Bell (Met version).

I love Joe & Evan interviews, they are so much more in touch with what we want to hear than Mike is. The Terry Collins interview they just did was great. Can't wait to hear Girardi with them tomorrow.
Baseball America still had him in the top ten in their Top 50 Midseason's prospects, so I wassn't expecting it but I'm not surprised.Wellington said:

Really? I see Beato as more of a future closer since he has deeper stuff (hard sinker/95 mph fastball/nice curve/decent slider) and locates better. Parnell is on a roll due to the resurgence of his slider... he throws a change but it's not a good one at all. If he can't locate either pitch he's screwed. I mean Parnell can throw 100 mph but so could Derek Wallace/Kane Davis/etc.LJ11 said:
Izzy cannot locate the cutter in on lefties consistently, and doesn't throw the knuckle-curve as much anymore. Considering 90 mph is as hard as he can throw... yeah.
