Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 4689097, member: 2133"] The Yankee way is to get a few seasons of 1-3 WAR out of journeymen players and then replace them with similar or worse production from a much more expensive veteran former star. The Donaldson trade was such. Although, I think the point of the trade was to get IKF and get rid of Sanchez, but they had to take Donaldson to get everything to work and because the Yankees don't care about money (until they do), Cash was like whatev's. Even if Hicks is just on some small-sample-size-new-team heater, the fact that his BB:K ratio is so different makes me wonder just what the hell kind of offensive philosophy the Yankees are pushing. It's not like pitchers are attacking Hicks differently just because he changed teams. His BB%/K% with Bal'more: 17%/17% His BB%/K% with the Yanks: 9.2%/26.3% [/QUOTE]
