New York Yankees deal Jesus Montero for Seattle Mariners' Michael Pineda
MistaNova:
Woah, completely out of the blue.
Though I would've prefered Montero to stay with the Yankees if he was gonna rob Posada of his job and go somewhere else.
Yankees should've asked for Danny Hultzen.

^ Why Hultzen? I don't know a whole lot about him honestly, but Pineda has all the makings of an ace, not saying it'll happen right away, but I think the CC/Pineda combo could be about as good as any in baseball at some point. I can't really think of anything I like more about Hultzen besides the fact that he's a lefty. If Hultzen turns out to be better I'll eat my words but pitchers with the physical presence and command that Pineda have don't grow on trees.

dude was 2nd in strikeouts per 9 innings and it was his rookie season. and only a 1.099 WHIP. and he is 22. dude is a beast.

The Mariners have a way of producing pitching prospects. They've shown everyone what they've done with Hernandez and Pineda, and they've got more on the horizon highlighted by Hultzen.
Though come to think about it the Yankees have been rumored to have a few pitching prospects of their own on the rise, and if any of them are as good as Nova, they probably should've asked for someone who can hit and play 3rd base...

Well Hultzen was just drafted last year so we really don't know a while lot about him yet..Paxton and Walker would be better examples cause they've been in the organization for a bit and are some of the top prospects in baseball, not sure what Hultzen's status is. As for someone who can hit, our organization is short on those which is why we made the trade in the first place lol. As far as I know y'all don't have much pitching aside from CC so I think it's a good deal for you.
