Actually the money is even. Pirates sent cash to the Yankees.

wow, wandy walks 6 in his first start, we get a 1st round bust for lincoln, a 202 hitter for a 30′s pick in next year draft and a disaster for casey. Are we a better team ? nope.

Can’t get my columns to line up correctly, but you get the idea. Just gotta use him correctly.

This was the second part of the AJ Burnett trade. Neal fleeced them so bad in part one, he had to even in out a bit with this move. : D

Don’t hate it. Just don’t let Qualls face lefties, who have killed him
since 2009. Not great against righties this year, but not horrible:

TBF H 2B 3B HR BB K SB CS GIDP BAA OBPA SLGA OBSA
102 27 7 0 2 5 16 6 0 2 .281 .314 .392 .691

And as recently as last year, he was great against righties:

TBF H 2B 3B HR BB K SB CS GIDP BAA OBPA SLGA OBSA
171 34 1 0 3 8 28 7 1 1 .218 .255 .257 .491

I may be wrong but $1250GS doesn’t come close to making up the difference in salaries.

How is this a salary dump? We paid the Yankees $250,000 to make up for the discrepancies in their salaries in order to come out even.

Casey couldn’t hit crap. Except when he was with the Brew Crew playing the pirates
