Party's over, and the Yankees won big time. Who else made good moves, and who's going to reap the biggest rewards at the end of the season?

I hope you are right. I have nothing but best wishes for Bobby, and want to see him come off his post HR Derby slump. As far as him wanting to be traded... I doubt it. It was a pretty tearful event when he said good bye to the team and the fans yesterday. The same with Fasano. Guys like that knew they were loved here, and winning or not, I'm sure they will missed us hardnosed fans.

3 and 4 aren't Bobby at all. In Philly, we love Bobby, but we were always grumbling about his lack of effort in RF. He's got a cannon for an arm, but don't expect him to sell out like Rowand.

Yeah, Lidle is a second half bulldozer. For some reason, he won just about every game last year during the second half, and this year is no different. I think he will be a strong pitcher to have to get the Yankees back to a deep post season run. As far as Abreu goes, he will be on base a lot, and he will hit. He does it all, and I think the power problem is only temporary.

I just don't think there's a Papelbon in the farm system. Closers pay days are huge anymore too. Use the old guy til he breaks.

Nah, I think they will go for one more year out of Gordon. Madson has been good too lately.

It's unreal... and they're not done. Abreu, Lidle, Bell, Fasano, and Franklin are gone, Lieber is next, and I still think Burrell, or Delluci might go.

It's done. Lidle and Abreu for minor leaguers. Anyone know if these four Yankees prospects are any good?

Alright, I'm going to take this as a giant rebuild fom the Phils. It is going to have to prove itself over the next couple of years. Of course Howard and Utley make a nice nucleus. sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2534459

David Bell goes for... I know that it doesn't matter that David Bell was a sentimental favorite in the Turner household. My 2 year old called him Daddy Bell, and my wife thinks he is the sexiest man alive. Yeah, strange hosehold I guess. This guy busted his ass day in and day out while walking around with a bad back, hips, whatever. So what do we get in return. A maybe. Or more specifically a question mark. And even better still: Who is going to be playing 3B??? Honestly, you don't have many choices in MLB at 3B. This trade was stupid. Alright... Sell em all. There better be something to show for it in the next two seasons though.

Hillenbrand goes to SF! That should work out nicely for them.

It'd make for one hell of a 1,2,3,4 punch, but just seems like they would be giving up a bit much for a salary that will no doubt haunt them in the future. If anything, there should be some pitching in the deal for Philly
