A few trade thoughts

Personally I do not think that the Yankees are going to make any type of big move for a bat. The reason being that they simply have no where to put another hitter. They are filled at every position in the outfield and infield, so any type of trade for a hitter would have to include Melky or Gardner. I am not above trading either of those two, but the problem is that I don't think anyone else wants them. Now they may make a move for a reliever such as Brian Fuentes, who seems to be the hot name. Personally I would like them to go after Huston Street from the Athletics. I know that Billy Beane is going to make the asking price extremely high for Street, especially from the Yankees. I think that a fair trade for Street would be something like Melky and Kennedy, or perhaps you can add another player from Oakland, maybe a hitter like Emil Brown, who would provide some outfield depth now that Matsui is most likely done for the year and because we would be giving up one of our CFs in the trade, and then throw in a lower level prospect from the Yankees to finish the trade.
