2011 MLB Season Game Thread: August

We'll have the prospects for Upton.

[MiamiHomer]

Why would Arizona trade him?

[DColts]

Idk, why'd they look into trading him in the offseason?

[Bobbob1313]

Yeah, maybe before the season. But they don't exactly look like sellers in the near term.

[DColts]

I can hope they are in 2 years.

[MiamiHomer]

Unlikely.

[DColts]

Stop ruining my dream.

[Chewford]

If a Yankee fan likes a player, they decide that the Yankees are going to sign them or trade for them. I know from my extensive experience studying Yankee fans.

[DColts]

I never said we will sign them. Just that we'll go after them. On the Upton trade, I'm not saying that it will happen but hoping it could.
--------------------
I looked at the Yankees' contract obligations and saw that they are around $150 mil. That leaves $60 mil in spending money. We'd have the money to sign them both.

Including postseason, #Twins Joe Mauer & Justin Morneau have played only 9 games together in last 198 team games.

that's ridiculous

Joe Posnanski pointed out on his blog today that Dan Uggla had a random 40 game stretch from July-August that was actually more productive than his 31 game hitting streak. Funny to see:

During the hitting streak: .355/.409/.685
40-game stretch last year: .354/.440/.660

Uggla homered to extend streak to 32 straight.

I looked at the Yankees' contract obligations and saw that they are around $150 mil. That leaves $60 mil in spending money.

I wish we still had Uggla...
