Melky and two other players for Houston Street? Are you kidding? I am not trading Melky for a setup man, let alone Melky and 2 other pitchers that could be a part of our major league team next year.

And say no to Andruw Jones. He just isn't good anymore.

Huston Street is the shutdown reliever our team lacks in front of Mo. I'm sorry but without Joba last year in September, our bullpen was a mess and we could've easily missed the playoffs without that dominant setup man. And Melky is definitely a great player but by no means is he irreplaceable.

Jones was just a sign that I think the Yankees will look into because of losing Arod. maybe Torii Hunter or Mike Cameron instead...

idk how Oakland does that but if that's all it takes then do it. I would be more than willing to trade Melky for Street though

[moocow007]

Street would work for me...I'd do that trade.

Ill give you this:

First offseason plan that actually makes sense and is realistic.

[Pharmcat]

Street would work for me...I'd do that trade.

hasnt he had recent arm issues?

hasnt he had recent arm issues?

Has he? He's pitched 67, 69 and 48 innings the past 3 years so maybe this past season?

I just checked the stats...what's more disconcerting is that his save to blown save ratio isn't that great.

The Yankees made it to the World Series in 2003 with Mo and a bunch of terrible relievers. I'd rather shore up the starting rotation and keep our young positional players than give up an everyday player for a setup reliever.

Melky for a #3 or #4 starter? No you got my ear. But a setup reliever? No way.
