One of them, Lee would simply change the shape and move today against seafarers because he was scheduled to throw today against the Yankees Phil Hughes, Safeco Field?
And what is more important in the long term for sailors who exactly is Jesus Montero, 20-year-old prospect is expected to come to Seattle in exchange for Lee?
Although likely to be more than one prospect in the deal - and there are reports of second baseman David Adams inclusion - Montero is a legitimate, big-time prospect, which will be key to any deal will happen with the Yankees.
For the team paying for big-time power, it is not difficult to understand why the M's will jump in the Montero. He is a big 6-foot-4, 225-pound spectacle, although some believe he will eventually wind up as first baseman.
For sailors, what matters most of all a big bat and Montero, whether as good as projected by Baseball America, which rated him the fourth best prospect in baseball coming into this season for the impressive trio of Jason Heyward, Stephen Strasburg and Mike Staunton. all are making big waves league already.
Montero does not exist. He is currently Triple-ball this season and still adjusting to that level, reaching .253 with 6 home runs and 35 RBIS in 77 games. This in itself will raise the eyebrows of some, but remember that a child 20.
He came to the Yankees in 2006 as an international signee out of Venezuela, and showed not the best times in 2008, the class of the ball, made the team AA All-Star last year before breaking his finger and is now working its way up the ladder again.
This Montero unmistakable perspective? There is no such thing. But for a franchise desperate attack on the help and looking to get a legitimate response to Lee, he is as good as it is going to get.
Those screaming about getting prospects proved one of the best pitchers of baseball's U.S. must understand that Lee is a free agent at the end of the season and, therefore, has only three months remaining cost.
Mariners gave himself three prospects to get Phyllis Lee before this season, and none of these minor leagues - pitchers Philippe Aumont and JC Ramirez and outfielder Tyson Gillies - are nearby Montero in terms of projected capacity.
A Adams, he was 23-year-old second baseman in Double-ball at the time, hitting 0,309 in Trenton. He was the third-round draft to select for the Yankees in 2008 and may have potential, but it is obvious that the key to this transaction will Montero.
Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports also reported that Triple-pitcher Zach McAllister, a 22-da-years from the 7-5 record and 4.45 ERA in 17 starts this season, perhaps a third prospect for a deal in Seattle.
Now we just have to wait and see if it happens, or if the Mariners hope someone else jumps with even more advantageous offer at the last minute.
