toronto
I think he'll stay in Cleveland. I think the talks about him being traded are far too premature. The Indians still easily have a shot at the playoffs, and they're ran by smart people who aren't going to give up on the season so easily.
He'll go to NYY and be a bust.
I don't think the Yankees have the players to trade for him.
NYY will push HARD for him in F/A though
Detroit
Voted 'other' because I don't know.
The local media is calling it a season based on too many injuries and too much mediocre play for too long. The old saying about knowing how a team will do overall 60 or so games in seems to apply.
Obviously I don't know what's going through Shapiro's or Wedge's mind, but there's been talk of moving C.C. I THINK Shapiro said as much in the Plain Dealer.
Unless they can get a firm commitment from Sabathia, that's a good idea. We don't want him going to FA. It would be hard to afford him if he plays hardball, and he's worth more than a compensatory draft pick.
The answer to the poll is pretty simple. Who has the deepest farm system? Talk here is of the classic rebuild strategy - get A LOT of prospects and start pushing them through.
wish i could see him go to the brew crew, but i see those d@mn dirty cubs snatching him up
I doubt he leaves Cleveland.
CC will almost definitely goto FA'cy and few teams will be willing to give up many prospects for three months of pitching.
Cleveland could accept less/lesser prospects, but i don;t think they will be to far out of it, and when fans and talking TV heads see that Cleveland dosen't get a major haul for him they will scream bloody murder.
I think he stays in Cleveland for this season, but if he does end up getting traded I think it'll be to the Dodgers.
Yankees!!!!!!!
Oh, the Yankees certainly have the prospects; the Yankees are actually one of the few teams that do have the prospects and the need.Quote:

Now, I believe that the question is whether the Yankees would trade any combinatioin of the 3. I could see a trade of Kennedy, Tabata, and a lower level prospect, but that is about it. I've also heard rumors that Cano could be a centerpiece of a deal for Sabathia, though I would not make that trade either. I say, if you can get Sabathia for Kennedy, Tabata, and a couple of lower level prospects than do it; but if you have to give up anything more, than I wouldn't do it.
I'd say Hughes, Brackman, Sanchez and go for it!
That'd be incredibly short-sighted.
Yeah...and irrational too (hence my moniker) but Hughes just hasn't impressed me too much and I'd throw the other too in for some instant help!
that would probably only happen if it were conditional with an extension, no?
I think the Yanks will get him, either via trade during the season or FA afterwards
If you think Tabata, Kennedy, and a lower level prospect will get Sabathia you're nuts. If they were to trade him they'd be asking for, and justifiably so, grade A prospects. They could get a package centered around Clayton Kershaw and/or Matt Kemp and/or Chad Billingsley from the Dodgers, Nick Adenhart from the Angels, Masterson from the Red Sox (though I don't think they'll go after him). The Yankees would have to give up Hughes and a couple more really, really good prospects, and the Yankees have become way too nostalgic about their prospects to do that. And they won't give up Hughes and more for Sabathia if they weren't willing to do it for the best pitcher on the planet, Johan Santana, in the off season.Quote:

I wish Steinbrenner would hire youQuote:

I hope you're wrong. C.C.'s a great pitcher, but i think it'll take too much to get him. We need to hold on to Kershaw, Kemp, Meloan, etc...
LaRoche and Ethier COULD be expendable...but not for a half a year of a pitcher when a hitter is what we need.
There is talk now that the Sox are interested, even though he may not be necessary
Only because the Yankees are. Anyone the Yankees are interested in, the Red Sox also are, and vice versa.Quote:

* guys who stayed with a club for 5/6/10 years!
Seattle :)
IMO, he will be in Cleveland for the remainder of the season, then get to Free Agency. The Yankees will throw a metric s***-ton of money at him, and he'll be wearing #52 in pinstripes in 2009.
Unless, of course, Yu Darvish reneges on his promise to stay in Japan, then all bets are off.
Lots of teams WILL throw $$ at him from Toronto (if A.J. opts out) to Baltimore (who need an Ace even in rebuild though a certain 1B in Atlanta is their priority ;)Quote:

I hope the Cubs, but I don't think they have any more cash to spend on that type of pitcher, due to a the year before last year with Lilly, Marquis, Soriano and then again this year with Fukudome. that's a lot of money.
Yankees!

Don't count them out, I've heard that they have the go ahead to add payroll this year.
interesting
mets :p oh wait they spent EVERYTING on santana... he really put them over the top lol
I sat toronto
i sat quebec
The Nationals!:p
I hope he goes to the Scrubs. They're going to need all the help they get. Especially since Zambrano and Soriano hurt their pussies. I don't want Milwaukee trading away the future for 2 months of his fat ***. I'll take my chances with McDung and Hairy Bush.
GO BREWERS!
