Subject: Gagne deal near complete...
.....per  Jim Johnson "the Bronx Block":

"I've heard two versions:

  a.. Eric Gagne to the Yankees for Tyler Clippard, Jeff Karstens, and a
C-level prospect
  b.. Eric Gagne to the Yankees for Tyler Clippard, Jeff Marquez, and a
C-level prospect
Either way, Eric Gagne appears to be on his way to New York to set up for
The Sandman. I will update this post when the exact information is
announced. Thanks to Dan Benton for the tip.

He's going to be unrecognizable without that billygoat beard."

Both are terrible trades; I would give up Karstens before I give up
Marquez, but Gagne is NOT worth Karstens/Marquez AND Clippard.
Nevermind throwing in a C-level prospect.

I'll go as far as to say that this blows up the theory that the
pitchers in this organization are going to be protected.   You cannot
throw prospects like this away for an oft-injured two month rent-a-
reliever.

While I agree with your assessment of Gagne, the players we will ostensibly
relinquish are hardly top, blue-chip prospects. This trade is consistent
with George's wish to do something to strengthen the team and, perhaps, get
the wild card spot.

They're not blue chippers but T-Clip and Marquez are talented young
kids.  If you give away two three B, B+ (Sickels standard) pitching
prospects every time you make a trade, sooner or later you're going to
make a disastrous one (catastrophic at times as Sabean found out).
The Yanks are loaded up and down the system with good arms, but you
have to price things correctly to stop from making these lopsided
deals.  Otherwise you end up sending Tippy and McGregor to Weaver so
they end up tormenting the Yanks for years.

Pete Abew weighs in on Gagne:

http://yankees.lohudblogs.com/2007/07/30/chamberlain-lights-out-in-sc...

"Meanwhile, despite the unsourced and unconfirmed reports you may be seeing
elsewhere, there is no deal yet for Eric Gagne. I'm not saying a deal isn't
out there to be made, but team officials say there is nothing done.
Lots of smoke, though.

17 hours or so left."

I actually put Marquez on a top-prospect list within this
organization....and yes, that is saying something given the pitching
depth the organization has.

Teams will never learn that trading good prospects for relief pitchers
is just bad practice - it's hardly ever justifiable in my book.

Trading a few of these pitchers is something that HAS to be done at
some point, don't get me wrong.  But wrong time, wrong player.   And
Gagne does little in my eyes to make them a stronger wild-card
contender.  He's more likely to blow out his arm on his first pitch in
pinstripes, if the trade does happen.

What year is this, 1985?  

I hope Cashman has more sense than to make a deal like this one.
Given that Joba has been tapped for a setup role, this deal would make
even less sense.

It strentgthens the team only a little.  If they want to trade these
guys, they could certainly put them to better use.  If they want to
keep them, they can also put them to better use.

I don't think it's panic - it's just dumb.  They ain't going anywhere
and are just weakening the club for the future.

Great deal.  Do it.   :)

The Yanks problems have been as much about starting pitching this year
as about the bullpen.  Closing the barn door after the horses have
already been traded.  (Gotta love Farm metaphors.)
