With the Yankees sudden trade to the Pirates, exchanging the highly-sought after Chad (?) Quarles for the third baseman wanted by all 32 (?) mlb teams, the Yankee future for AAA ( the Scranton
travelers ) gold-glove third baseman, Brandon Laird, is now cast in stone.
Per the usual Yankee approach to their own prospects, Brandon received no consideration once A-Rod went down with his wrist fracture.
Rather, the Yanks brought up proven failure, Ramiro Pena. Perfect. Just what we needed. Another certain out.
Now that they realize Pena can no longer even hit singles, they dealt one of our bullpen aces, for an extra guy on the Pirates. A team so over-laden with talent ( most of it ex-Yankee ), that they could not find a spot for this .213 hitter.
So let's work together on etching the stone of, " another prospect trashed " for a home grown Yankee.
What shall we put on it?

You're an idiot. Laird's defense is so/so, at best. They brought Pena up with the plan to use Nix at third against lefties. Pena was the most versatile of infielders with SWB. Laird's future is simple: He'll get a Sept. call-up, hit .200, and be released from his minor league deal in the offseason.
No, YOU are an idiot.
You get my vote, Herm.
Laird's defense is excellent.
But his future is bleak.
"Poor kid. He never had a chance."
"I coulda been Mike Blowers."
Brandon Laird can't hit. I'm really sorry, Duque. I really am sorry. I can't hit either. That's why the Yankees refuse to sign me, no matter how many desperate letters I send to Brian Cashman and members of his immediate family.
HE CAN'T HIT.
