Greinke is a stud. Brewers are a team to contend with next year - Greinke, Gallardo, Marcum at the top of the rotation is only beaten by the Phillies, imo. Those are three #1 starters. I guess the Giants could be contenders there, but neither Sanchez/Bumgarner is better than any of those three.

Escobar is potentially very good but had a poor first full year, Cain looks pretty good and the pitchers both have high upsides but they haven't got a sure thing out of the deal and if I was trading Greinke when I already have a stacked farm system I want a major league like for like player who is under team control for awhile.
Turns out Greinke turned down a Nationals offer which might have involved Jordan Zimmerman which would have been ideal. Looking on the deal its not like the Brewers gave up nothing, they basically just lost their top rated prospects but with Fielder hitting FA next season I guess they are going all in for 2011.
I'd say a 60-40 in favour of Brewers deal, depends if Greinke handles the new place and gets back to Cy Young form.

It's bullpen lockdown time for the Yankees, they just gave up their first round pick for Soriano.
Robertson
Joba
Feliciano
Soriano
Rivera
Add a solid starter and things look better.

They should trade Joba for something. He's peaked.
I always liked Soriano, and felt bad about giving him up for Arod
I like this move I know allot of Yankee fans who dont like it giving up a pick but with the Yankees in the playoffs every year Yanks are never getting a great pick after the top 20 picks in the draft there isnt much you just after try get lucky. Yankees should just keep looking at the international draft thats were there best young players are coming from.
They should either move him to the back of the rotation or shift him for someone who can fill that position.
feck the Yankees.
Gay-Rod: "Yeah open wide, here it comes...and don't forget to swallow this time bitch"
So Soriano is a closer but did he take the money over being the man for another club?
Or does he know he inherits Rivera's spot in a year or two? Assuming Rivera hangs up the cleats anytime soon. He's still a beast and relievers have shown they can carry on effectively into their mid-40s (at least the top class relievers).

What the hell, Pujols moved to the Angels!
