Yes and youngs career .240 or so average. Hopefully he is getting moved. I’ll take Parra in center.

I am pretty sure the D-Backs are still paying Mark Grace, Jay Bell, The Big Unit, Schilling and others deferred money from the late 90′s teams…

I don’t care anything what the fans think of me

Hmmm, you could back that up by not taking their money, then, diljack.

Nope. No power. He’s an amazing defender though.

Maybe when Correa is ready for the majors, put him at third and move Dominguez to short? But if Dominguez is already at AAA….

Like I said, we were going to pay all or most of Lee’s salary anyway. We could have finished the season with him and gotten nothing out of it aside from a few more home runs, or we could have turned it into younger players. I like this move.

Does he at least offset that with some degree of power? For a corner infielder, I’d certainly hope so.

I think the fans got it wrong. As much as Young looks like a ballplayer, Upton has the better upside. Young reminds me of Casey Blake – he has the look, but at the end of the year, whattaya got?

But Arizona fans, for whatever reason, can’t stop booing him.

might be the fact that for a guy who hit 31 home runs last season he’s hit 7 dingers so far when he had nearly double that last season at this time.

most likely it’s just drunk idiotic fans.

Dominguez needs to learn how to hit. Hitting .236 in AAA is not good.

Would love to have Upton on the Phils.

So would I, but they need to sell assets. Time to rebuild.

Hey D-Backs, we will gladly trade BJ for Justin.

It’s probably because Upton was the No. 1 pick in 2005 and considered a future star, right? Young went in the 16th round of the 2001 draft (to the White Sox).

but I’m told that we made out like bandits in getting Dominguez and Rasmussen.

I’m sure fans print out their team’s contracts page from Cot’s Contracts before they head to the ballpark and then base their booing on the information contained therein.

Or fans are just stupid.

So Carlos Lee went to the Marlins. The Astros are still absorbing most of his remaining contract, but I’m told that we made out like bandits in getting Dominguez and Rasmussen.

We were going to pay Lee anyway, so I’m just happy that Luhnow got something in return for it.
