Justin Smoak and Blake Beavan, as well as 2 other guys who not only make the Top 20 John Sickels' Rangers Prospects list, did not make it "Estimation of C Honorable Mention" list either.

Cliff Lee And Yankees

Cliff Lee, seemed to go to the Yankees. Lee All-Star left-hander, eligible for free agency after this season, and the Yankees deep budget will give them a big advantage in signing him. But Lee, it turns out, can join the Yankees much earlier.

The Yankees and Mariners have made progress toward trade Lee, according to an official involved in the negotiations, who added that a final decision is now before the Mariners.
The official on condition of anonymity because the deal was not completed. Joel Sherman, New York Post broke the story, saying that the Yankees trade package will include sight Jesus Montero and infielder David Adams.

Lee planned to move against the Yankees at Safeco Field on Friday night, so the transaction can be completed quickly. Would the Yankees four All-Stars in their early rotation, joining the COP Sabathia, Andy Pettitte and Phil Hughes. It would also free the Yankees to trade another starter - presumably, Javier Vazquez - for an offense or bullpen help before the July 31 trading period nonwaiver.

Lee, who won the 2008 AL Su Prize for Young in Cleveland, beat the Yankees twice in 2009 World Series, when he pitched for Philadelphia, and won the first match at the new Yankee Stadium last season. He is 8-3 with a 2.34 earned run average this season, with 89 strikeout and only 6 walks.

Currently, the Yankees are leaning in accordance Vazquez, who would allow them to slide Hughes bullpen, as he comes to his innings limit, and protect them from injury to another starter. But to trade Lee gives them the opportunity. Vazquez can be a free agent after the season, and he would be attractive rental, especially for a team in the National League, where he defeated both last season in Atlanta.

The Yankees had against the trade of young talent that will soon be free agents in recent seasons, passing on Johan Santana trade in December 2007 and Sabathia for the 2008 season. But circumstances are different, because the Yankees depth of sight and second base.

Even without Montero, the Yankees stable high value in including young trap Cervelli-Francisco, Austin Romine and Gary Sanchez. They also have Robinson Cano to play second base for many years.

The Yankees also hope that Lee for many years. Lee, who turns 32 next month, is unlikely to sign a contract extension before the off-season. But he is friends with Sabathia and Burnett and seemed very comfortable at Yankee Stadium. And, of course, the Yankees will probably make it an overwhelming offer a contract to stay.

Jesus Montero And Cliff Lee

Presentations to fly, that the sailors, some in the trade Cliff Lee Yankees, 2 questions leap to the forefront.

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.
