New York Daily News - Baseball - Mets Bossing Yankees around

New York Daily News - Baseball - Mets Bossing Yankees around

The biggest mistake the Yankees' brass can make is failing to recognize that a Ken-Phelps-for-Jay-Buhner trade circa the 21st century is not what the team needs.

I can't name the Phelps portion of this modern day blunder but I can guess on the Buhner side. His name is Melky Cabrera, a 20-year-old CF at AA Trenton.

In his first season, he hit 2 HR. Last season he hit 8 HR. This year, he has 9 HR already with only two errors.

Keep him in mind, regardless of the organization he is with next draft, as he should be a hot rookie by 2007.
