Win one now or win 4 starting in a year or 2?

Plenty of us young guys wanted the Yankees to hold tight.<br /><br />Though I agree with joe de pastry that trading some 2nd or 3rd tier prospects for pitching help would have been fine. I've drawn the opposite conclusion from the Hamels and Price trades though and don't believe that it would have been possible...<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Born in 1990Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-27051875028770111992015-08-02T15:22:28.118-04:002015-08-02T15:22:28.118-04:00I'm probably older than any of you. The first ...I'm probably older than any of you. The first game I saw in person Joe DiMaggio was playing centerfield. The choice isn't simply between trade the farm for old guys or hug the prospects. It's more complex than that.<br />I'm glad that they are giving so many of the young guys a shot this year. I wish that some of them would have gotten to play more before getting sent back down.<br />But when your pitching staff is full of question marks and your key bullpen guys are being overworked and you have a shot to get an ace starting pitcher in his prime, I say go for it. I don't mean trade Severino, Judge, Mitchell, Bird and Refsnyder; if that's what it would have taken not doing it was the right thing. But I doubt we'd have had to give up any thing close to that, based on what others gave for Hamels and Price. joe de pastrynoreply@blogger.com
