KingPK 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Here's some RJ deal being called off news: http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yan...ports-headlines Man, you'd think that Vasquez would WANT to go back to the NL. Guess we know who the new Cracker Jack guy will be at Yankee Stadium next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike546 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 wtf? Is he allowed to do that? Does he realize hes going to be ripped to shreds next year if this is the reason RJ doesn't become a Yankee? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Failed Mascot Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Technically he doesn't have the right to do it, but he's probably thinking "Fuck them. I signed a 4 year deal with them just last season. I signed here, I'm staying here." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Also can I get a link to that site that compares players to other players via age and accomplishments. Baseball-reference.com is the best website for stuff like that. They list age and accomplishments for each player, and it's easy to read. If you scroll down to "frivolities," you can find a link that allows you to compare two players in frames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Johnson has already refused to go to LA, so no, they couldn't do it themselves. And now I'm hearing Shawn Green is demanding a trade, apparently pissed that they were set to move him. This trade is still going to happen in some form, that I'm sure of, but there's going to be some tense moments for the people involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, thougb I'd hope the second time around the third team gets more out of the Yankees than Javier and some unproven prospects. I mean that trade made no sense for the Dodgers, aside from getting the payroll down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted December 22, 2004 I guess nobody mentioned to Green that they've been trying to trade him for 3 years now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike546 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 The Yankees were doing fabulous in this deal. They did get rid of two prospects, but all they were giving up was Javy, and they were getting RJ, AND LA was giving them money. Also, they got Ishii, who they were probably going to trade to get someone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Ishii would be a HORRIBLE pickup. His ERA is a full run higher in Dodger Stadium, he has no control, and his strikeout rate nosedived this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Failed Mascot Report post Posted December 22, 2004 I feel kind of bad for Ishii. I think alot of his problems now come with having been struck in the forhead by that line drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 I feel kind of bad for Ishii. I think alot of his problems now come with having been struck in the forhead by that line drive. I doubt it. There's very little variance between his 2002 stats before the injury, and his 2003 stats afterwards. His 2003 was actually better, because he was slightly more hit lucky.

Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 LA was NOT doing bad in the deal. They got rid of Ishii, who is a complete bum, they got two very promising prospects, they got rid of Green's contract, and they would have gotten Konerko from Chicago, who is a better and cheaper hitter than Green, plus the underrated Jon Garland, who'd probably thrive for them. The reason it fell through was Chicago opting out of moving Konerko, not LA suddenly deciding they were getting the short end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
