NYY gets: Curtis Granderson from DET
DET gets: Austin Jackson and Phil Coke from NYY; Max Scherzer and Daniel Schlereth from ARI
ARI gets: Edwin Jackson from DET; Ian Kennedy from NYY
This looks like a great trade for the Yankees, a good one for the Tigers and a questionable one for the D'Backs. The Yankees receive a young star in exchange for their top OF prospect and 2 solid pitching prospects. Detroit saves money and gets younger. Getting ESPN's Mark Schlereth's kid who throws gas. Max Scherzer, another potential star who throws gas. And a couple of good prosepcts.
Arizona gets Edwin Jackson and Ian Kennedy which will add to a deep rotation but gave up a lot of potential that they had control over for a long time.

What Happened Then...
Now that the Phils will officially be taking on the New York Yankees this Wednesday in the World Series, I thought we’d take a look at what happened earlier this season when the two teams met. Interestingly enough, the Phils will be taking on the same three pitchers in the Fall Classic – Burnett, Pettite and CC. Here’s what happened back in May…
May 22nd: Phils 7 Yanks 3 W: Myers L: Burnett
On the Mound:
Myers, 8IP 8H 3ER 0BB 5K
Burnett, 6IP 8H 5ER 2BB 7K
At the Plate:
Werth, Rollins and Chooch all homered off of Burnett in the win. Jeter and Teixeira both homered off of Myers in the 8th inning, and A-Rod hit one earlier in the game. Phils dominated.
May 23rd: Phils 4 Yanks 5 W: Veras L: Lidge
On the Mound:
Happ, 6IP 4H 2ER 0BB 4K
Pettite, 7IP 5H 4ER 2BB 5K
Lidge, 0.1IP 3H 3ER 1BB 1K
At the Plate:
Phils were up 4-2 heading into the Bottom of the 9th with Lidge coming into the game. A-Rod tied the game with a 2-run bomb and Cabrera later hit the game-winning single with a man on second. F’n Lidge.
May 24th: Phils 4 Yanks 3 (11) W: Condrey L: Tomko
On the Mound:
Hamels, 6IP 8H 2ER 0BB 5K
Sabathia, 8IP 9H 3ER 0BB 4K
At the Plate:
J-Roll, Victorino, Ibanez and Chooch all knocked in runs in this game. Teixeira homered off Hamels in the 6th for the Yankees. Chooch had the game-winning double to score Utley in the Top of the 11th, and Condrey threw a perfect bottom half of the inning for the win. F Sabathia.
2-1 for the series with the only loss coming at the hands of a Brad Lidge blown save – not too shabby. Of course, the Phils have a new ace up their sleeve they didn’t have back in May…maybe you’ve heard of him. This will mean nothing to the talking heads at ESPN, SI, etc., however, who will ALL pick the Yankees to win this series. Who gives a shit, though? They all picked the

Series Preview: Phils/Yanks
It’s going to be one hell of a Memorial Day weekend for Phils this year! The team is traveling up the Garden State Parkway to take on the f’n Yankees in new f’n Yankee Stadium. It should be a good series. The Yanks half rattled off nine straight wins and the Phils have been playing solid ball lately too. I’m pumped.
Who is going to DH for the Phils this weekend? They are set to face two lefties in Pettite and Sabathia, so I’m thinking maybe Bruntlett or Coste. I doubt Coste would DH just in case something were to happen to my boy Chooch – who else is a possibility for Saturday and Sunday?
Now on to the series preview….
Friday: Brett Myers, RHP (3-2, 4.50) vs. AJ Burnett, RHP (2-1, 5.02)
Pitching Matchup: Brett Myers pitched seven strong innings against the Nationals in his last start - eight K’s and only three hits allowed. The Phils hope he can keep it going against the Yanks on Friday night where he’ll be up against AJ Burnett. In Burnett’s last start he gave up just two runs in 6 2/3 innings against the Twins. He has not won in six starts, however, and hopefully the Fightins can keep that streak alive. It looks to be a fairly even pitching matchup. Prediction: Phils win. Probably not the smartest prediction considering Myers’ sick fascination with giving up HR’s. Prediction II: Myers cries like a bitch after the game – win or lose – because of the ballpark.
Saturday: J.A. Happ, LHP (2-0, 2.49) vs. Andy Pettite, LHP (4-1, 4.18)
Pitching Matchup: J.A. Happ makes his first start of the season Saturday after Chan Ho Park was demoted to the bullpen earlier in the week. Happ has pitched well in his 12 bullpen appearances this year, but making your first start in Yankee Stadium is some serious pressure. Happ will face off against admitted juicer and “misrememberer” Andy Pettite. Pettite is having a decent year so far. He picked up the win in his last outing against the Twins in spite of giving up four runs on 12 hits in 6 2/3 innings. This is certainly a tough matchup for Happ in his first appearance as a starter; I don’t see it ending well. Prediction: Phils lose. Prediction II: I get hammered watching this game and flip out because his name is spelled J.A. and pronounced Jay. What an asshole.
Sunday: Cole Hamels, LHP (2-2, 4.95) vs. CC Sabathia, LHP (4-3, 3.43)
Pitching Matchup: In the most anticipated game of the weekend, Cole Hamels goes up against CC Sabathia. Hamels is 2-0 with a 2.31 ERA in his last four starts and is looking like the World Series MVP again after some freak injuries plagued the beginning of the season. Sabathia is also pitching well as of late, he gave up one run on three hits in 7 innings in his last start. Sabathia, as we all remember, got has ass handed to him by the Phils in the NLDS last year, giving up five runs in 3 2/3 innings. In a related story, Brett Myers reportedly will be DH’ing in this game. Prediction: Phils win.
Go Phils!
