Would they be winning the east if they "freed your nigga A-Rod"?

I wish he was free.

That is a huge yes. For one thing, the more depth at third base (or the infield in general) the better. Solarte's starting to fall off and Johnson hasn't done much since being forced to move to another position. And Dean Anna is no Wade Boggs. It's a miracle that the third base situation isn't as bad as it was last year.
Plus, A-Rod is still a very serviceable major leaguer. Is he worth the money he's paid? Fuck no. But is he still a solid player? Fuck yes. He makes pitchers work and throw more pitches. And even if he isn't on his roids anymore he can and will punish mistakes and send them to the bleachers.

Hack Wilson - real:
a-rod will come back roided outta his mind and put up a nice .290 average with 25 HR and 100 HR with maybe 10-15 SB.    not bad for an old man.

Samardzija? Like Iveus said, Yanks really don't have anything to offer for him so they're going to have to wait to get him in free agency next year.

I DO see Yanks making a possible move for Samardzija's teammate Jason Hammel. He's just as good as Samardzija and more importantly he's a free agent at the end of this season, and being that he was a rental player for Cubs to begin with, I imagine he can cost substantially cheaper. I don't know how dedicated Yanks are to add starting pitching though, considering Whitley is the shit.

I like Whitley but I question how long his pretty good run will last. It could go on until the end of the season but given the Yankees's luck he could get injured and require Tommy John. Eventually the league will adjust to him, how well he adjusts to the league remains to be seen.

As for Hammel, I've heard that other teams who need pitching but don't want to ruin their farm systems by trading for Samardzija or Price are thinking about trading for him too. Most notably, the Toronto Blue Jays.
