Gardner Garnering Interest?
Since the Yanks picked up Granderson the other day, we know that both Kansas City and now the Chicago White Sox have been trying to acquire Yankee CF Brett Gardner. What's more, when the Yanks picked up Jamie Hoffmann and didn't lose Colin Curtis in the Rule 5 draft, the Yankees major league ready organizational depth ran 5 deep. That's a lot of CF's. So while Gardy is a fast and talented cost controlled player, the Yanks should be listening to offers. Especially if pieces can be spun into any other deal they might want to make better than Gardner can. While I'd prefer trading the more expensive Melky Cabrera for prospects, Cash should see what he can get for Gardner. Go Cash!

At least according to this list by Sickels, the White Sox don't have many impressive prospects.
Phil,
RE: Your point in the earlier post about the Yankees wanting to wait on the kids to come up...
Are there any outfielders in the system that could be ready in the next two years?

They have a hitting catcher who might look good in a Blue Jays uni.
28,
In the next two years? Maybe Abe Almonte if he keeps building on his strong second half. It's hard to tell, there are some really high upside kids, and maybe one of them will take off. Colin Curtis is ready now, though as a 4th guy.
KC would be ideal.
Package him up and try to get DeJesus and there is your LF'er and #2 hitter.
On YES' Yankees Hot Stove:
Bob Lorenz (paraphrasing): Montero, Joba, Melky, and a mLer for Halladay
Jack Curry (paraphrasing): I think the Yankees would jump at that, but I don't think the Jays would accept it.
Yeah, that was ludicrous. They have no idea of what anything is worth.
Curry is no longer with the NYT, according to Sherman. Coincidence? ;)
Cash is on with Francesa at some point today, but I have a meeting so I could miss it.
I'll listen and see if there are any tells.
