Although Granderson has more than worked out, the value and youth of both Ajax and Kennedy outweighs Curtis who is either about to be really overvalued or wont be a Yankee anymore. At this point hes still on a good contract, at the same time Ajax /Kennedy make less than him combined

Plus AJAX plays defense, Kennedy a 20 game winner certainly Kennedy>Nova

Fair to say Cashman lost another trade. Has he ever won a non salary dump trade?

Ian won 20 last year, probably won't repeat this year, and Austin has average over Granderson this year.

How did Cashman lose this trade? He came out with the best player of all three. Austin Jackson isn't in the same hemisphere as Granderson is. Yeah Kennedy won 21 games last year, but anyone that follows baseball knows wins is the most circumstantial statistic in the game. How's his 4.15 era this year?

who cares about strikeouts when your obp is >400? stop thinking in the past

Grandy strikes out a ton too but with a 339 obp

his era was 2.88 it was a legit 20 win season, and 4.05 is a lot better than NOVA

secondly AJAX this year is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Granderson. Grandy cant play the field anymore and is an all or nothing hitter with a low obp now. So Ajax value going forward is >>>>>>>>>>>>>

Theres absoultely no way if youre being unbiased you can have this as a yankees win.

In year 3 (not year 5 or 6) Ajax is already >>>>>>>Granderson, then you throw Kenedy on top and its not close

Stop thinking with yankees kool aid

Cano, Gardener, Hughes, Nova


It's one thing to pitch in Arizona, it's another to pitch in New York

Not enough, secondly theres no proof Kennedy couldnt pitch here, he had what like 15 starts as a Yankee? that means he cant pitch in NY ? That shiiit is soooo overated, there are very few if any players that actually do worse here than elsewhere, NY fans are just mad self important. If I wasnt a new yorker i would hate that attitude

But we're not talking about Nova...he wasnt involved in the deal...of course your era will go down when going to the NL...what happens after a season after all the hitters saw him tho, era jumps back up to over 4 IN THE NL...who's to say Kennedy can do this in New York...look at AJ Burnett this season... :stopitslime:


lol @ Ajax >>> Granderson....he's approaching back to back 40 HR seasons...Jackson will hit for average, but he's not granderson...

Ian had plenty of chance in NY and stunk it up. And lets face it after Granderson who besides Cano are pitchers scared to face? Austin has Cabrera and Fielder behind him.

dude its not close AJAX IS MUCH BETTER THAN CURTIS this year.

AJAX obp is over .400 Grandy is .339 I mean its not close AJAX slugging eprcentage is higher too he leads the league in triples. Granderson is hr or nothing. PLus ajax plays defense while Grandy has cost us games in the field.

You sound like a self absorbed yankees fan that doesnt know what hes talking about

And I bring up Nova cause that is who Kennedy would replace in our rotation, Kennedy is gravy anyway
