Phillies - Yanks make a deal...

[papps]

The Phillies and Yanks have made a deal. 

Phillies get:

OF Victorino, Shane, $10.5m (2011)
X-OF Victorino, Shane, Cash Exchanged on Contract, $-3.5m in 2011

Yankees get:

OF Werth, Jayson, $17m (2014)
Phillies pay 10m in 2011 and 2.5m in 2012

I do this deal to get out from under Werth's contract.  I like Werth and think he will continue to be productive but I need the cash.  I will pay a little next year and then I'm out from under it.  Victorino is a good replacement with a somewhat reasonable contract. 

Thanks Daniel for our tons of negotiations and finally agreeing on a deal  :toth:

Yankees to confirm.

Interesting deal, not a fan of Werth in the leadoff spot from a fantasy perspective. 

[OUDAN]

me either just like his upside hoping he lives up to it

Im not sure why they are batting him leadoff either.  He should be hitting 4th or 5th.  He should be behind Zimmerman now that he's back.  Werth will finish with his usual 20 to 25 HR's and 85 RBI's this year.  I don't think they will keep him in the leadoff spot long.

They have no one else to bat lead off... Nix and Morse are putting up surprising years in the middle of the order. They are not a well constructed ball club.

Approved.
