I hate to say this, but Cano, Melk, and even one of the young pitchers, are ready to GO! Get out of town. It's not like its Derek Jeter coming up the first year. We are one season two and three with these guys. With all the money coming off the books next season, we need to start building, and if the young guys up there right now, are not doing it, its sports, find new ones.

It's not that Melky is underachieving...he was just never good to begin with. Mediocre at best. It's time for some people to realize that he needs to be replaced. Obviously Yanks management realizes this now.

when mekly first came in..he was hot offensively and he is amazing in the out-field but i have to agree with nesto...melky offense is below average i think its time for the yankees to part with Cano and Mekly we might can get a starter and some bullpen help for them.

OK, I hate to say it but I think Melky is gonna be a 4th OF at best unless he finds his stroke.

Now, getting rid of Cano is just nuckin futs!!!!! Has no one noticed that he is heating up and has been great defense all year?

I guess no one remembers the days when an infielder was allowed to hit .250 if the defense was superb.....

Are you insane? Part with Cano?

HE'S A FUCKING .300 HITTER!

parting with cano is a poor choice. cano had a rough start to the season, but that is NOT the norm. on the other hand, melky's poor start (and continued poor hitting) is pretty much the norm for this dude. hes a sub par offensive player with a decent glove and an outstanding arm. plus he dosnt even have that much speed. i dont see him keeping the starting CF job much longer. if my man brett gardner gets a couple more starts i can see him taking the melk mans job.

this year is a bit different from previous years in the AL east, as its a legitimate 3 team race. plus considering the white sox are playing freakishly good and the tigers threatening to turn their season around, coming in second place in the AL east is not going to guarantee a playoff spot. we need to make some sort of move to improve the bullpen going into the second half.

trading cano? in the long run i don't think its worth it, especially if C.C. is really the number one pick for ol' hank. C.C. could be a bust in NY too. Robi has a lot of seasons left, and granted he hasn't been too swell this season, i think its just a bad season and that he has a bright future playing in pinstripes. guy hit over .300 last year. plus trading off the younger guys, who are actually decent, isn't really a good idea with half our team ready to go into an iron lung.

As for Melky, I've always liked him but hes just not pulling his weight and the only thing keeping him around is that hes pretty good in the field. if we sit on him were just going to end up with a johnny damon replacement down the road, and no one wants that. only problem is that hes having an even worse season than normal, so your right hes not even trade bait.

my solution: whole team grows mustaches. hank makes it company policy to have a full mustache at all times during the season.

I don't know if he is available but that Lester kid is pretty damn good. Well at least better than I-Ken and Hughes combined.
