2013 and earlier Nissan Murano Lease Questions
1919lrxc Posts: 1I have a 2011 Murano SL with around 10000.
My lease expires in May of 2014.
I was just wondering if I was going to take a big hit if I were to trade it in on a 2013 Dodge Ram when available.
Do I have any room to negotiate with anything, or should I just wait out the lease and see if Nissan gives me any incentives on the Titan?
The current buyout is $25102.

Hello aham23. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Murano LE AWD with 15,000 miles per year are .00078 and 49%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical 39-month lease are .00078 and 48%.

Sure bashin. Here you go. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Murano S AWD with 15,000 miles per year are .00163 and 55% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical 39-month lease are .00163 and 54%.
There is lease cash and bonus cash on this vehicle that varies depending upon where you live. What state are you in?
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Hi CarMan, I'm looking to lease my 4th Murano. My 2010 SL AWD lease expires 3-1-13. It was $439 for 39 months and I think $2500 down at the time. the buyout for Dec 31 is $19851.
Trying to make sense of these numbers is giving me a headache, I never tried to work out MFs and costs before so I guess the dealers have been getting over on me.
I'm in NYC, and hoping for a 2013 but after going to a couple of dealers, they seem to be pushing the 2012 old inventory. The deals they are offering do not seem that great.
Are you aware of any current incentives or promotions or any coming up for either year?
Would you have any approximate prices/monthly payments I should be looking for?
Wow your 4th, irenegade. You must be a big fan. They should put you in a commercial .
If you're not familiar with exactly how leasing works, you definitely should check out the following informative articles on the subject that are available here at Edmunds.com: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
In short, the easiest way to get a good deal on a leased vehicle is to shop around for the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that you decide to go with calculate your vehicle's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.
You can find some sample lease payments for the Murano by visiting http://www.nissanusa.com/ and entering your zip code. If you are in an area that has a decent level of competition you should be able to beat any advertised lease.
In your area, Nissan is providing a $1,000 cash incentive on leases of the 2013 Murano and $1,500 on the 2012 Murano in your area right now.
Keep in mind that according to my crystal ball Nissan is going to introduce a $500 bonus cash incentive on both models later this week.

Thanks for the great reply to my post and advice Car Man! Yes, I do love everything about the Murano, but for the first time, I may also consider the Lexus.
One Nissan dealer told me that he believes an early lease termination program will start up sometime in January, so now I have a tough decision to make.
I'm going to check the nissanusa link now.
Thanks again!
floorx4 Posts: 1I've been reading through the questions and posts and just want to say thank you very much for the advice you give. I am looking to buy a 2012 Murano AWD LE Platinum. Since it is years end I think I should be able to negotiate a really good purchase price. Can you tell me the current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month and 39 month 12,000 mile lease with Nissan on a 2012? Also, would these rates be better on a 2013? Thanks so much in advance. Looking forward to your information. By the way I am in Utah if that helps. GF
I'm still in the dark with the factor pricing, but I bit the bullet and came home with a Super Black SL AWD with Nav. Came with crossbars for the roof rack, mud flaps, mats, and cargo cover.
Paying $439 for 39 months with total out of pocket 1st payment of $2500. I am located in NYC, and turned in my old 2010 SL AWD lease(with 22K) 2 months early. The dealer bought out the lease and is selling it on its used car division. Hope this info helps someone!
psegnit Posts: 1Hello all. I am new to these forums. And have a question. I made a lease deal on a 2012 Nissan Murano SL with Nav package. ( Dealer demo with 5k miles) the sticker price of the vehicle was $41,300. I am trading in a 2004 Acura MDX( the are giving me $10k on trade) the lease payment is $320 per month for 39 months plus the trade. it is a 15k miles per year lease and includes 3 years maintenance on the vehicle. I am trying to decide if this deal was good or not.. i see now that Nissan has $1500 lease cash available..not sure i received that...what else should I discuss with dealer before finalizing this deal? I left $1000 deposit but want to feel secure about the deal..any input is helpful. Thanks
You're very welcome, floorx4. Thank you for the thanks .
Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s December buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Murano LE AWD Platinum with 12,000 miles per year are .00060 and 50% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical 39-month lease are .00060 and 49%.
Nissan is providing a $500 bonus cash incentive on the '12 Murano right now.
The numbers for a 36/12 lease of a 2013 model are .00163 / 52%. The 39/12 numbers are .00163 / 51%. There's $500 bonus cash on this vehicle in all areas. There's additional lease cash on it in certain areas, but Utah is not one of them.

Hi matherfield. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s January buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Nissan Murano LE Platinum AWD with 15,000 miles per year are .00095 and 51% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
There is a $1,500 cash incentive on leases of this model in certain areas.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Car man---thanks for the reply---hard for me to believe --but I know it is true---that the money factor went up from Dec to Jan---you would think Nissan would want to unload the Murano Platinum edition----the Dec rate was .00060 now in Jan .00095 will it go back down--thanks again
You're welcome, matherfield. This sort of thing is actually more common than you think. Manufacturers often have very aggressive incentives in December to help boost their annual sales totals only to back off a little in January. It's difficult to say whether Nissan will enhance its programs on the Murano in the coming months.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Hi Carman,
I just spoke to a local dealer who said the pull-ahead program is on for Nissan as of now through end of march. Could you provide any details? this is NY Metro area.
Additionally, if you have money factor and residuals for Feb or March on the '13 Murano SL & LE for 3 yrs, 36k.
Thanks so much for your help.
I'm hearing .00119 and 52% for february on the SL with 12k miles for 39 months is this accurate (seems to be, heard from 3 sources)
Would love to hear about any incentives around the corner in march. They're all going with 2,500 in lease loyalty and other rebates as of today.

Hague Visa ProcessLast Updated: November 2012
U.S. Law and the Definition of Convention Adoptee
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended by the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000 (IAA), defines a child residing in a Convention country who is eligible for intercountry adoption as a Convention adoptee. This definition includes the following elements:
- The child must be under the age of 16 at the time the immigrant visa petition (Form I-800) is filed on his or her behalf (taking into account special rules on filing dates for children aged 15-16); or aged 16-17 and the biological sibling of a child already adopted or to be adopted by the same prospective adoptive parents; or 18 on or after April 1, 2008, the biological sibling of a child already adopted or to be adopted by the same prospective adoptive parents, and with a Form I-800 filed with USCIS by November 30, 2012 on his or her behalf. The child must also be unmarried and live in a Convention country.
- The child has been adopted or will be adopted by a married U.S. citizen and spouse jointly, or by an unmarried U.S. citizen at least 25 years of age, habitually resident in the United States, whom USCIS has found suitable and eligible to adopt (by approving Form I-800A), with the intent of creating a legal parent-child relationship.
- The child's birth parent(s) or other legal custodian, individuals, or entities whose consent is necessary for adoption, have given freely their written, irrevocable consent for the termination of their legal relationship with the child and to the child's emigration and adoption.
- The child has been adopted or will be adopted in the United States or in the Convention country according to the rules and procedures of the Hague Adoption Convention and the IAA.
Visa Types for Hague Adoptions
Children adopted under the Hague Adoption Convention receive IH-3 or IH-4 visas.
- IH-3 visas are for children who are adopted in a Hague Convention country. Children who are under 18 generally acquire U.S. citizenship automatically upon entry to the United States on an IH-3 visa. In such cases, USCIS automatically sends Certificates of Citizenship without requiring additional forms or fees.
- IH-4 visas are for children coming from a Convention country who will be adopted in the United States. IH-4 recipients do not automatically acquire U.S. citizenship, but are lawful permanent residents until the adoption is full and final. See our web page on the Child Citizenship Act for more information.

How To Create & Build Sexual Tension: 4 Powerful Tactics
By Sean Jameson
Learning how to create and build sexual tension with your partner can be a difficult task and is something that I teach extensively. The main reason that people make mistakes when trying to create sexual tension is because they confuse being sexual with sexual tension. The 2 are completely different.
(P.S. If you want to learn my best dirty talking tips & techniques for building sexual tension & turning him on, you'll find them in this powerful video)
Sexual tension is the feeling that you experience when you are around a guy and want him, but don't actually act on it. Being sexual involves physically acting on any sexual feeling. If you want to have a man obsessed with you and constantly thinking about you, then you should know that building sexual tension is a much more powerful tool to use.
So you are probably now wondering, what are the best ways to build sexual tension with your man? Well let me start by explaining what not to do.
- Don't be sexually available every single time your man wants you.
- Don't be afraid to tease your man.
- Don't be afraid to make strong eye contact with him.
Ok, now let's learn how to actually build sexual tension.
1. Teasing Your Man
The easiest and most fun way to build sexual tension with your man is to tease him and tell him about what could potentially happen in the future. You will mostly be doing this verbally and through text messages/email, but some aspects of it will be physical too.
So rather than just telling him, "I really want to have sex with you tonight", try being much more subtle and teasing. So try saying, "I hope you behave yourself tonight" or "I not sure if I'm going to spend the night, I'll have to see if you can change my mind".
Both of these phrases are quite vague and not very direct. This is the essence of creating sexual tension...allowing your man's mind to wander and fill in the blanks.
By allowing your man to fill in the blanks and try to figure out what you mean, you are getting him thinking about you more, wondering if you meant to be sexual or not...all of which is going to build tension with him.
As well as verbally teasing him, don't forget to introduce some physical teasing as well. The easiest way to explain physical teasing is that you want to almost give him what he wants. Here are 3 ways to accomplish that.
- Pull him in close and almost kiss him. Then push him away and say, "You're going to have to wait a little longer mister" or "You need to earn it first".
- Brush past him and as you do, give him a very, very gentle pinch on the butt. If he asks about it, just change the subject as if nothing happened. Perfect for keeping him thinking.
- When you are out in public together or at a place where you absolutely must not be physical with each other, lean in close to him and whisper something in his ear like, "All I want to do right now is get down on my knees for you". Then immediately change the subject or start talking to someone else. Your man almost won't believe what he heard, but I can guarantee you that for the rest of the night he will be thinking about nothing else but what you just said!
- You can even physically tease him while giving him a blowjob by applying only the smallest amount of pressure as you lick and kiss his penis. For more detailed (& explicit) advice on giving your man a great blowjob, you may be interested in reading this blow job video tutorial.

In the criminal justice system, an arrest for a violent crime will lead to a charge, followed by a guilty plea or jury trial. But some individuals imprisoned in the war on terror declared after the 9/11 attacks face the worst of both worlds: detention without trial but without the consolation that they will be freed and returned to their families in a tolerable period of time.

Peace. We all want it. Some talk about it. Some pray for it. Some march or protest for it. In the end, though, will we ever have peace, if we don't understand what it is that we want? Will we ever have peace if we don't ourselves each think it, believe in it, feel it, act it?
What is your idea of peace?

(Part #22)
Sage of Shadowdale has something to say about pretty much everything.
Despite having outlets in Dragon Magazine, Dungeon
Adventures, and Polyhedron Newszine, the Old Mage still
has more to say about Faerûn. Not wanting to anger an archmage, we decided
it would be best to give him a regular column from which to discuss the
finer points.
well, young one . . .
Ale at the Meet
Swords Meet, Continued
suites at the Meet can comfortably sleep four (far more if they don't
need beds), but they're all priced for one or two at 3 gp/night, with
an additional payment of 2 gp per night demanded for each additional person.
That 3 gp buys a suite and a meal washed down with all the tankards of
ale one desires, though Zhents of all sorts pay only 2 gp per night, and
as Helauther intended, have come to favor this establishment as their
home away from home.
and drinks can be ordered served in a suite, but there's a surcharge of
1 sp per such request. Most guests dine in the common room, a dimly lit
place of plush booths with a decor of battered battle trophy shields and
crossed swords. During most of the day soft minstrel-playing provides
entertainment designed to keep some diners from overhearing the secrets
of others.
The common
room occupies the eastern front quarter of the Meet's ground floor. The
lobby and stairs take up the western quarter, and the southern half is
given over to the kitchens and pantries.
not renting rooms at the Meet come into the common room to enjoy drinks
of ale at 1 sp a tankard, or 8 sp for a meal and all the tankards they
desire to drain. Wines are always extra (2 sp to 10 gp per flagon) to
guests or visitors alike. The wine is plentiful in quantity but sometimes
limited in choice. When the cellar is thin, the choice is usually narrowed
to Arabellan dry, local clarry and mead, and Saerloonian glowfire, special
vat, and topaz.
also come to hire a few swordsfolk on furlough from the selection of Zhent
warriors drinking and dining here. Such folk are commonly employed for
local guard duty to keep valuables from going missing as they're loaded
or unloaded from waywagons or for dirty work (usually beating up a rival
or destroying specific property belonging to a rival). The common room
is almost always full and is the only such room in Voonlar that Gormstadd
of Cyric cares to be seen in. (He always visits with a strong escort of
lesser clergy to shield him from Zhents drunk enough to want to prove
their personal superiority over a "crow who kneels to the Lord of
The Meet
is known for its strong home-brewed ale (known as night Aale for its dark
hue). One can sometimes get small amounts of other brews here, but don't
count on it.
The Meet
serves heavy, gut-filling fare, and does it well. Hot buttered rolls and
skewers of sausage and fried mushrooms can be had at all times, and every
few hours the common room serves forth a remove (main dish) to all desiring
it. A favorite remove of the Meet cooks is seared venison and mushrooms
cooked in red wine served with side plates of strong, crumbly, yellow
Askata cheese from Impiltur, and followed by sugared biscuits slathered
with warm blackberry jelly. Another frequently-served remove is roast
goat -- extraordinarily tender, its flavor enhanced rather than hidden
by mint-and-hot-pepper sauce -- on a bed of fried medallions of parsnip,
potato, and radish, with side plates of baked goat cheese crusted with
almonds, followed with a fruit mash. Regulars, however, swear by a rarer
delight: pheasant spit-roasted to crackling and served on a bed of mushrooms
and field apples, with a side of sweet, moist, dark applecake.

Lyme disease is an illness from getting bitten by a tick infected with a certain type of bacteria. It can cause fatigue, headache, stiff neck, fever, sore muscles and joints, and sometimes a red rash that looks like a bull's-eye.
Antibiotics usually work. If you don't get treated right away, Lyme disease can cause serious problems with the joints, nervous system, and heart.

2013 Trade Deadline Eve Open ThreadBy
The annual non-waiver trade deadline is 4pm ET on Wednesday, so pretty much one day away. The Yankees have already pulled off one pre-deadline deal by acquiring Alfonso Soriano and a bunch of cash from the Cubs for minor league righty Corey Black. They were desperate for a right-handed power bat and the trade has already paid dividends, as Soriano hit a two-run homer and a walk-off single on Sunday.
That move was a good first step, but the Yankees need much more help than that. They need an everyday third baseman — seven different players have combined to hit .217/.276/.288 (55 OPS+) at the hot corner this year — especially since it looks increasingly unlikely Alex Rodriguez will return to the team at some point. A righty platoon bat for Lyle Overbay, a catcher, and maybe even a starting pitcher should be on the trade deadline shopping list as well.
The Yankees haven't made a notable trade at the deadline since way back in 2006, when they brought in Bobby Abreu. By notable trade, a mean a legitimate above-average player. Someone who didn't require you to squint your eyes and say "maybe he has something left in the tank." I don't know if the team will buck that trend in the next 24 hours or so, but if they were ever going to do it, this would be the perfect time.
We're going to keep track of the day's Yankees-related rumors right here in this post, so check back often. All times are ET, obviously. Talk about anything trade deadline related — rumors, crazy hypotheticals, etc. — here as well.
- 10:33pm: Forget about Callaspo, he has reportedly been traded to the Athletics. [Rosenthal]
- 7:16pm: Young has ruled out a trade to the Yankees and the team no longer has interest in Rios. [Andrew Marchand & Buster Olney]
- 6:40pm: The Yankees have interest in Alberto Callaspo and have spoken to the Angels about him. Unclear if talks are serious at all. [Danny Knobler]
- 5:49pm: Mike Morse is very available, but the Yankees and Mariners have not yet had any serious talks. When the Nationals made Morse available over the winter, they wanted Ramon Flores and Jose Ramirez in return. [Sherman & Josh Norris]
- 4:41pm: The Yankees have renewed their interest in Alex Rios. He recently said he would agree to waive his no-trade clause to come to New York after reports to the contrary. [Scott Merkin]
- 3:59pm: With 24 hours to go before the deadline, the Yankees are focused on finding a righty platoon partner for Overbay and perhaps a trade to rid themselves of Joba Chamberlain. I suppose they could accomplish both at once. [Sherman]
- 3:01pm: The Yankees are not completely out on Young at this point, but their chances of landing him are "very limited." [Heyman]
- 1:50pm: Young will only waive his no-trade clause to return to the Rangers. So much for that idea. [Ken Rosenthal]
- 1:05pm: If Young is indeed being traded soon, the Yankees say it won't be to them. [Joel Sherman]
- 12:19pm: The Phillies are planning to call up third base prospect Cody Asche, which is a pretty strong indication Young will be traded soon. Not necessarily to the Yankees, mind you. Several other clubs (Red Sox, Rangers, etc.) are said to be interested. [Jeff Passan]
- 12:00pm: The Yankees are still bugging the Giants about Hunter Pence, but there doesn't appear to be a match at this point. San Francisco plans to make the outfielder a qualifying offer after the season, so any trade return would have to be greater than the value of a supplemental first round pick. [Jon Heyman]
- The team continues to monitor Michael Young, which they've been doing for quite some time now. The Phillies recently indicated they are willing to move their third baseman as well as some other players. [Andy Martino]
- Ownership has a "strong desire to reinforce this team and find a way to get in the playoffs," said Brian Cashman. The Soriano trade is a prime example of that. [Bryan Hoch]

Wonder if the Giants would listen on Kung Fu Panda?
He intrigues me and scares the shit out of me… in equal parts.
Seems like he is a FA after 2014. Could a package headlined by Austin or Heathcott be enough to land him?
Kuroda for Addison Russell.. Make it happen.
I dont see us competing until 2015 and Kuroda is likely to retire by then.
1. How is 2 games out of the WC 'not competing'?
2. Would YOU trade a player like Russell for Kuroda?
The Blue Jays traded D'Arnaud and Syndergaard for RA Dickey… so yes that would be a fair asking price.
Can you think of a deal that happened during the deadline that's more appropriate?
Cliff Lee for Smoak and friends?
To me, Cliff Lee was way beyond what Kuroda is.
@ Gonzo — Greinke for Segura is pretty freggin similar.
@ Former ACE — Selling Kuroda isn't going to be a popular move from the fans perspective but for the well being of the team moving forward to be able to identify a SS with pop for the next few years would be great.
Greinke is similar but Segura was a borderline top 50 prospect at the time and Russell is a consensus top 20 prospect. Keith Law has him as the #6 prospect in the game. Big difference in my opinion.
Addison Russell – BBA & MLB pre2013 – 48th
Jean Segura – BBA & MLB pre2012 – 55th
It's a very similar deal.
Check the updated mid-season rankings. Those are the ones that were updated right before the Segura trade went down and right before this trade deadline. Very different deals.
Yeah, but Dickey was carrying hardware (NL Cy Young) over the border. And the Blue Jays were in 'drunken sailor spend mode'… AND I don't think Dickey had a NTC to contend with.
Slightly different situation, but I can see where you were going on that.
My trade proposals suck but since I'm in Sell Mode, probably not as much as those in Buy Mode.
Ownership has a "strong desire to reinforce this team and find a way to get in the playoffs," said Brian Cashman.
Heh. Right. They were saying the same damn thing this winter. How has turned out?
It turned out that we're within 2 1/2 games of the playoffs in late july.
Yeah, this team has legs for the post-season. What are you smoking to think they could compete in October?
"strong desire to reinforce this team and find a way to get in the playoffs"
2 1/2 games out of the playoffs: close enough to be "trying to find a way" into the playoffs.
Regardless of what I believe or am smoking, I don't believe I said, anywhere, that they could "compete" in October. Read my damn response, ass.
So playing a one game playoff is something worth trading talent for, moron? Of course not. But that's where your idiocy leads you. For one extra game? Yeah, I'd say you're either smoking something or brain damaged. I'm guessing the latter now.
Yes, to me it is. Maybe I am the idiot as well for wanting to see my team trade some non-elite prospects for players that could give them a chance to play in October.
Bastard: Says something.
Jim: Refutes statement, adds nothing more to conversation.
Bastard: Makes up shit Jim said so that Bastard sounds more intelligent.
Who in God's name are you talking to? I said none of anything your attributing to me.
It turned out that we're within 2 1/2 games of the playoffs
And only 5 games over .500.
Again, totally and completely irrelevant.
Office: We will do what we can to try and make the playoffs.
Yankees: 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot, well within range of "trying" to get into the playoffs.
Bastard: "HAHA THEY LIED"
Me: Points out that we're close to a playoff spot, never said anything about how good we are, how well constructed we are, how good we'll be in october, or anything.
Yeah, being a below .500 club by Pythag is irrelevant. Get bent and crawl back to Lohud. Problem is, this joint has turned into LoHud.
Bbut, bbbbut, but, we're two games from playing a one game elimination!!!
Wow. From now on you merit only one response. You figure out what that is.
Jim's been here longer than you, dude. And of the two, you are the one sounding irrational, IMO
Says the guy who also wants them competing in a one game elimination game, only to get their asses handed to them, i.e. just like 2012.
To the point, that moron thinks being a .500 team is irrelevant. Idiocy is the only way to describe that thought.
Like a poet's … mind for … to make the perfect words.
Yeah, I would rather waltz into the playoffs every year. Who wouldn't?
But, if the choice is between fighting for a playoff spot (even if its year over year) or becoming the Royals in hopes that every prospect we trade for during SELL SELL SELL mode becomes Jeter or Pettitte… well, give me the former, thanks.
(This is where Bastard calls me a moron)
I know I am one of the few in BuyBuy Buy mode.
Mike, thoughts on maybe Michael Morse or Howie Kendrick? I'm not sure either are up for sale but might be an interesting way to look. It gets Kendrick out of our hair.
Please dude I'm right there with you 2 games out of a spot with the Yankees pitching. I learn a long time ago if they have a good chance go for it because you never know when they get another chance.
Go for it WITHIN reason.
I'm a buy guy too.
morse would be a good fit as a 1b or DH but not in the OF
I can sign off on him as an OF/DH… counterpoint, people said the same about Ibanez, and he was a fantastic security blanket.
Wasn't the prettiest in the field, but he was a warm body and you didnt have to go out and rush out when Gardner went down and sign an over the hill former superstar to ….. oh
I think Kendrick would be way beyond what I'm willing to give up but, goddamn, that would look nice for the run.
At least he can start at 1B as a RH platoon for Overbay.
If we get a partner for Overbay, both NY teams would have 1B platoons.
"The Phillies plan on calling up third baseman Cody Asche today, tweets Yahoo's Jeff Passan. That points to Young being traded today"
Yankees please.
Dear God, no, why? He's not a 3B any longer.
Talk about an immobile left side. Neither Jeter nor Young have even two steps any longer. They might as well move Cano to the SS-side of 2B. Play a shift on all righties…
Gardner, Ichiro, Wells, Soriano, and coming soon Granderson… OK, I got to know, what the hell would Girardi end up doing with a SIXTH outfielder? Plus guys like Zolio, Mesa, Neal. I like Pence and all, but goddam.
I hope the yankees get Young I believe if we get him and then the grandyman we'll have a much bigger shot at the playoffs
OT; Mike- Have you ever looked into setting comment links to open in a new tab? Makes it easier to pick up where you've left off when you return.
Suggestion: try middle-click or ctrl-click on the link.
You can do that without needing a setting like that. On my Mac, command-click opens in a new tab, and I think it's ctrl-click on PC but I forget.
Mike, you don't count the Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte trade as a notable trade? Nady had a 143 OPS+ at the time of the trade and Marte had a 121 ERA+ with 47 k's in 46.2 innings. Pretty impactful duo right there.
Except they sucked for the Yankees? And they cost prospects that could have been moved for real pieces.
He didn't say it worked out, just that it was notable. Which it definitely was.
Not really, not at the time. Only the biggest fanboys thought Nady would really add something. And Marte was going to be a lefty specialist – nothing more.
I guess The Bastard doesn't remember that I was lights out in the 2009 Championship run.
Seriously. No respect at all 'round these parts.
"I believe something, and if you disagree with me then you're a fan-boy."
– The Bastard
I don't know what all the Michael Young hate is about. Maybe I'm missing something (I'm not too proud to admit if I am), but I see he has a WRC+ of 106, and a slightly positive WAR. That may mean league average all together when you factor his putrid defense with his passable offense, but you aren't replacing a league average player. You're replacing the shitshow that has been Adams/Nix/Lillibridge/Gonzales. I'm pretty sure that's an upgrade. I wouldn't mind giving up another Corey Black type of prospect for that.
Or, if we're dealing, put something else into the package and get Chooch. That's two upgrades, with Granderson coming back soon. That lineup looks much more formidable. I really think that a couple 8-15 prospects get that done.
I'm still marginally in the sell camp, but I don't mind buying if we can get those kinds of players with players that don't have a high probability of making it to the majors.
Because his defense sucks. He's not a 3B for this team, and certainly not with Jeter's statue playing SS.
You don't even have the slightest grasp of what a "Corey Black type of prospect" is, so of course, 8-15 more just like him is fine & dandy w/you. Me thins you been blowin' too much chooch, Lucy!
Hunter Pence? How many outfielders are they going to acquire? Their biggest needs are C, 3B, RH 1B. Ownership will need to take charges since Cashman just wants to throw in the towel in Mo's last year. Hal knows what he's doing. He already won us one ballgame on Sunday.
Don't feed the fish..LOL
Hal knows what he's doing.
If you can say that three times with a straight face, you're a better man than I.
Lotta people talking about selling or buying I don't buy into either. Yankees need to get better / upgrade certain areas of the team. By buying some players and making trades makes them better and less to do in the off season. You have to sell to get something in return, cannot fill all holes in one off season, see what's out there, stop with the replacement players and dumpster diving and try to get guys that are more or less every day players.
2 trades come to mind hughes to the dbacks for prado and hughes to the braves for chris johnson. the dbacks 2nd best prosect is a third baseman having a great year in aaa while prado is having a down year and signed for 3 more years at 10 mill per. the braves need a starter and johnson is a bench player for them whos career stats are underwhelming for a corner infielder, and its not like hes a young up and comer.( this idea was when hughes era was in the low 4s and was on a roll pitching wise)
Michael Young and Justin Morneau please. 1 year deals and neither will cost more than a average prospect.
The yanks need to find the prospects to lure Ruiz and Young from the phillies . Pence is nice but not good enough upgrade in an overcrowded outfield. With the yankees depth at catcher and short relief we certainly have what it takes to get it done if we want to . And don't you think the organization owes it to Mo to pull out all the stops
Did you guys see the rumor that the Red Sox are willing to do almost anything to get Stanton?
I think it would hurt if the Sox got Stanton.
They were also willing to do anything to get Felix Hernandez 3 yrs ago. Hard to blame them, but they are the WORST team in the world at playing close to the vest.
here is a fun one – Yankees send Cano, Nova and Pineda to the Angels for Aybar, Kendrick and Trumbo. Angels send Cano to the Dodgers for M. Ellis, Z. Lee and Pederson. Yankees move Jeter to 3B. Yankees have a whole new infield. Angels get a whole new pitching staff. Dodgers get the best 2b in baseball.
You sir are an idiot
I don't think he's actually saying these things should happen.
And Jeter lets me stay at his house with his girlfriend for the weekend.
And the Yankees get worse in that entire scenario, they lose pitching they'll need next year, to get an inferior 2nd Baseman and an OF who's only claim is probably as close to a 2 outcome player as you can possibly be.
ytps why not just send cano to the dodgers for the trio you mentioned? Then the Yankees keep two of their top three stating pitchers signed next season.
Yanks need pitching back, and realistically Jeter is at SS, Aybar is at 3B.
Would give the Yanks a tone of right-handedness all of a sudden
"If Young is being traded, Yankees people say it's not to them, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post. "
FUCK ME and DAMN YOU CASHMAN!!!!!
It's probably the Sox
Heh. I love how this is the non-move to get people to hate Cashman. The guy has been below replacement level for a decade.
How is his youth movement looking?
"How is his youth movement looking?"
The same or better than ~50% of the other MLB teams.
You have a fucked up definition of replacement level.
I see you meant Young, although you'd probably claim the same for Cashman.
I judge by others with similar resources. The Red Sox for instance draft at a comparable place. ANd they have a top talent at SS and at CF ready to go. The Braves and Cardinals consistently kick our asses.
This GM specifically said the days of high price contracts were over. Then he went out and signed only shit players at high prices.
Nice job adding something here though. Nice job being wither stupid or ignorant.
I hope you keep it up, I look forward to your banhammer.
That top talent SS was an international FA, and can you elaborate on the CF?
Cardinals always draft in 15-22 range, which has allowed them to get players who had fallen for strange reasons but consensus said they were top ten caliber players (Wacha, and Miller being just two examples) Braves have had top 15 picks twice in a 3 year span the guys they selected: Jason Heyward at 14th in 2007 and mike Minor 7th overall in 2009. That said they do well developing pitching.
Yankees consistently pick last in the first round or don't pick until the 2nd round, they have done that for 20 years that is going to eventually hurt a team.
Please stop making sense. You are adding nothing to the conversation. It is well known that the Yankees are horrible at just about everything except handing out obscene contracts to over the hill players. You know nothing John Bo.
This just reads as "Cashman failed" on my screen.
*bangs on monitor*
Jackie Bradley is top talent? NO ONE knew about him in February. He had a hot spring, came up to the bigs and got shellacked.
"Young will only approve a trade back to the Rangers, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. "
Sorry Cash nothing , but love for you man.
Yea, that says it all about him. And some of you wondered why I didn't want any part of that fucker.
I'm all for hating any particular payer for any reason or no reason, but I'm not sure how you can fault Michael Young for wanting to go to a team that (a) he used to be on, (b) is doing better than the Yankees, (c) is in contention, (d) doesn't have the impending Arod circus.
Ok fine they have a nelson Cruz circus, but football camp just started, nobody cares. /Hamilton'd
Didn't get a chance to comment on the last thread, but this is exactly a "stuck in the middle" issue. It's seems to me that I've been missing the words "win a championship" in many if not all of the comments lately. The types of trades being discussed above, which will require losing good prospects, will not bring back the kind of players for building a championship roster. Cano would. The way management is heading feels to me like we'll end up with a somewhat improved but not championship club. For that we need better starting pitching, a catcher,a third baseman, and more power,at minimum, and that assumes Jeter is okay for a year or two. None of that will be available from the farm system for at least two years but we ought to build towards that with a Cano trade and holding on to our top prosepcts, especially Sanchez.
How would trading Cano ensure a championship roster this season on a team currently 2.5 games out of the WC? The move made should be one that helps the team overcome those 2.5 games, not move them further from it.
The entire point of dealing Robbie, if that is the direction decided, is to forgo/sacrifice the mostly unrealistic minuscule chance at winning this year in order to retool and rebuild so the club can realistically compete (& win) in the not too distant future & for many years to come. The entire direction they choose to take is predicated on what they decide w/regard to Robbie. Either they get a deal done with him now, wait 'til the off-season where he'll have the hammer in negotiations & either extorts more from them than he's worth or walks, or they deal him now & get more than a draft pick for him. He's the foundation guy the team should be building on imo, but if they can't come to an agreement on dough & years, deal him now and everyone else who doesn't fit into their future & rebuild the ball club. They've gotta be out of their minds to let Robbie enter the F/A market.
Yeah Pence i don't get, that move makes no sense at all. A Catcher should be 1st on the list and then a corner infielder. Surprisingly, they have stayed w/in shouting distance so if you shore up those two spots and get Granderson back you give yourself a shot & honestly they have to go for it, cause the league is wide open this year.
While we're talking about PHI trades, what about John Mayberry jr? He's played some 1B over the years. Might not be a bad platoon with Overbay
Cashman will play the "we got Jeter and Granderson back, and that's better than any trade" card to explain why the Yanks do nothing by tomorrow. And, it's the right move.
I agree with Cashman in this case.
I'd be very leery about throwing good money after bad. I'd rather hold onto my prospects and miss the playoffs than trade them away compromising the future and eek into the playoffs only to be smoked in the wild card game or 1st round.
"I'd be very leery about throwing good money after bad."
Me too.
I just think there's a middle ground where you can still try to win this year without mortgaging the future.
There is, and there also needs to be a market that is able to meet that. If there are vets that can get the job done between now and Octobe, and are available for less than our top MiLB guys, then the team should jump. Young was one of those guys. There are signs that's not happening, though, so perhaps there's someone else who'll fit that mold and can outproduce Brett Fucking Lillibridge and Jayson Nix.
Well even if such a market doesn't exist, wait and see is still one such strategy. Pray that Granderson comes back on fire, Jeter plays like he did last year, Gardner and Cano keep their acts together, CC pitches at least average moving forward, etc.
Maybe not the most optimal strategy long term, but it still fits in with trying to win and not quitting on next year.
Yeah, so who the fuck are "our top MiLB guys?" Despite all the hype and press, no one really knows. You don't know squat about what most of these guys can be & either do I. I do know you don't deal 21 year old pitchers who casually throw 95mph+ heat for over the hill outfielders w/their best days behind them. When you don't really know what you've got, you hold onto it 'til you do, & then you only deal them when you know the guy you're getting is better than the one you're dealing. The only exception to this rule is when you need that one or two guys that guarantees to put you over to win it all. That's not even closely the case here. Besides, unless & until they resolve the Robbie issue, there is no "right" thing to do. If you keep Robbie, they still need to find the right players to surround him with. If they can't or choose not to sign him, they've basically got bupkis at the big league level & they have the luxury of rebuilding the entire foundation & club. Either way, what they should or shouldn't do is inextricably linked to the Cano decision.
ken rosenthal is saying that Young will only approve a trade back to the rangers
Young only willing to approve a trade to the Rangers. Ass.
Who else is there for third that's a realistic target?
Matt Davidson
Can't see how a guy with no MLB experience helps out playing every day in the stretch run. Nice numbers, though.
Well he's blocked by Prado so I figure he's as realistic a target as any at this point.
Oh, I'd love to find a way to get a guy like that. I'd also like someone who can get the job done for the stretch run, which I can't see how you can count on a prospect to do.
I actually think prado is more likely hes not having a great year and isnt cheap while the guy below him is a top prospect hitting well in aaa and with be cost controlled for 6 years
I was just thinking that. Also Prado would be cheaper prospect wise.
i would love to get Davidson hes would automatically be our best prospect.
"In contrast, Scott Miller of CBS Sports says Red Sox people believe Young would approve a trade there. The Phillies checked in with Young over the weekend about the Rangers and Red Sox."
Fuck does anyone else feel like a step child.
It's all A-Rod fault his negativity has made other players to not want be trade here.
Or the fact that the team is mediocre.
A few I came up with:
Placido Polanco
Arasmis Ramirez
Neftali Soto 1B/3B
Chase "Longshot" Headley
Looks like a fairly boring deadline if you ask me. If i was teams like the Phillies, Brewers, Marlins, Astros, Padres, and others as well, i'd be loading up on prospects.
I thought I read the other day that Young has a no-trade clause so he can pretty much select the teams he´s willing to be traded to. I´d say the Yanks are still in on Young. Pence would be great. Granderson could share DH and LF with Soriano. Yanks could DFA Hafner and April Wells.
Giants greatest needs are SP and OF prospects.
Hope so.
I really only care about 3B and/or C (don't even need both – just address one and I'll deal with a suckhole at the other) at this point.
Chris Nelson
If we're going for it we need a third baseman. We can live with Romine/Stewart while waiting on Cervelli and Murphy.
Yeah, I can live with that and Overbay being the weaker spots in the lineup if we can get better at third. Bat Ichiro 9th and, once Curtis is back, the 1-5, plus Ichiro at 9, will look a hell of a lot better.
I think a guy who can hit lefties and play 1st is pretty important as well and a much easier hole to fill.
Being on MLB trade rumors right now makes feel like the kid who is watching all the other kids pick out their favorite ice cream while my mom is dragging my ass home.
I guess we can cross out Young from the wishlist.
Updated 3B who might be available:
Albert callaspo
Placido Polanco
Arasmis Ramirez
Neftali Soto 3B/1B
Chase "No Chance" Headley
not really an everyday 3B, but i'd take a shot on Kevin "Jason Nix 2.0″ Frandsen
How about pitching? Rotation right now isn't very good and is questionable for next year.
This will be considered blasphemy but it's the truth. In fact the entire team has a variety of holes next year.
CC – Under contract, hasn't been good this year.
Kuroda – This year's ace, not under contract.
Pettitte – I'm guessing he retires
Hughes – Very likely gone. Not sure I'd even want to make an offer.
Nova – ???
So I mean what is that a rotation of next year? CC, Phelps, Nova, and two others?
Pineda for one. You can live with a scrub as a 5th starter but that's not a playoff caliber rotation regardless.
Pineda. Forgot about him, thanks.
My guess is Kuroda comes back and Pineda round out the five, with Banuelos and Ramirez waiting in the wings. It's not the dynasty rotation, but that rotation could very well hold its own.
If Kuroda leaves, then I'd assume someone else would be brought in.
Not blasphemy at all. There are legit concerns moving forward.
Even if Nova's for real, who's here next year? CC/Nova/Phelps? If God is good Kuroda too? That rotation won't inspire a lot of confidence.
And Pineda. Duh.
Still, if Nova isn't this new incarnation, if Phelps is a 5 era guy…
I hope my Yanks acquire Michael Young!!
that´s the spirit !
I hope the Yankees acquire Mike Trout!!!
I mean, I do.
Just got a twitter last week, and I already see its usefulness when trying to keep track of all these trade rumors. Rather than checking numerous sites several times a minute, I get one nice feed of rumors.
Hopefully the Yanks make a nice pick-up or two.
Yeah, I was considering getting into it too, for the exact same reason. I would never tweet a damn thing myself, but it would be a valuable source of news etc.
I started using Twitter last year at the trade deadline, and it was great for that, but I haven't used it for anything else since then except commuter train updates.
I can't help but think the Yankees make no significant move and maybe a few small moves. I just don't see what we have to get any significant move done.
Depends on what kind of player. My assumption is that the team has more than enough to get a Young type even without giving up top pieces. If what you want is an elite-level player than, yeah, you're probably S.O.L. there.
I had a feeling that Kevin Youkilis was going to be a bust.
Could have had a Russell Martin with that $$$.
Coulda had a V8!
Brian Wilson on a minor league deal to the Dodgers. This past year or so, it feels like the Dodgers pretty much signed anything that moved.
Hence, the 'drunken sailor' analogy…
Also, him and Valverde can have an 'asshole beard' contest down in Albuquerque
So no shot of Musty gettin' a chance to show what he can do at 3rd?
He's getting his chance in AAA and in between DL stints he hasn't been very good.
which is exactly what nix & company have been through 100 some odd games. worth a shot.
well, being decidedly mediocre in AAA is different than decidedly mediocre in the bigs.
Try to buy low on Ryan Doumit in Minnesota?-Switch hitter who plays Catcher, 1B & corner OF.
He's no 3B, but he still fills holes & can provide rests for guys with his versatility. He's having a down year but has a decent track record with the bat. Not much of a lefty masher, however. Stronger from the left side of the plate vs RH.
I wouldn't mind us carrying a guy like him who can be a 3rd Catcher option while also holding down other positions. It would be nice to have the ability to pinch hit for Stewart or Romine in big, late-inning situations. Whether its him off the bench, or someone else pinch hitting. When he starts, and we move him to C, from another position, for the remainder of the game; while still having a catcher on the bench.
I like Doumit, although i think he's an injury risk, no?
Nunez/Hughes/Prospect for Terdoslovich/Pastornicky?
Young going back to the Rangers is kinda funny after the issues he's supposedly had with the FO with position changes.
also seems like the Phillies not looking to move Papelbon is odd. keeping Lee and keeping the idea of going for it and staying in the hunt (however shortsighted it actually is) can be understood but Papelbon would've been a good piece to try and move and get something worthwhile back.
Here's a crazy idea…how about trading for Howie Kendrick to play second and moving Cano to third? I know it would never happen, but I would only sign cano to a Long term deal if he was moved to third and if he left, kendrick is insurance. You're either set at 2B & 3B next year or you only need one of them at the worst. Makes sense to me…although wouldn't ever happen b/c makes too much sense.
Why would Angels trade Kendrick? He makes a shit ton of sense for the Yankees, but there is no reason why Angels would deal him. They are constructed to compete next year, Kendrick is still under control for two years.
Unless Yankees give them MLB pieces, like Robertson and Phelps/Nova, along with prospect(s). Which defeats the purpose as there will just be ore holes to plug.
Angels are listening for now from what I hear on their infielders (Callaspo, Kendrick and Aybar).
Yankees could eat that contract.
I've seen that Dodgers and Angels had talks about Kendrick. If Angels do end up dealing him, there will be many teams ahead of the Yankees with better offers.
You don't trade for a top 5 offensive 2B with out necessity of a second baseman. You can't just to stick him to first. Detroid, LA and Oakland could all use 2B production, they would blow Yankees away with their packages.
I would sign Kendrick for 1B not 2B unless Cano gets a day off or DH day.
Kendrick has played 1B before and it would work.
His bat wouldn't play there long term. It would for this season, obviously, because NYY's other options are so bad.
I'd be glad if Cashman is trying to pry Kevin Frandsen away from Amaro. Perfect bench piece who's under control until 2016. He would be starting at 3B daily for New York, and would be the Cano-signs-elsewhere insurance for next two years.
Ken Rosenthal(@Ken_Rosenthal)
Source: Bonifacio #BlueJays player most likely to move, but team mostly quiet. Jays also shopping Melky, per @BNightengale on @MLBNetwork.
I know inter-division trades are unlikely, but if you squint, can you see a deal for Bonafacio? I know he's kinda sucked this season, but… AdamsNixNunez
dear trade deadline, I'm bored
via MLBTR:
3:27pm: The Yankees have renewed interest in Rios, tweets MLB.com's Scott Merkin, though he'd have to approve a trade. On Friday, Rios bristled at the suggestion he'd rejected potential a deal to the Yanks.
I'm with you. Why? I mean at this point where the hell would be play? You have Ichiro (who is hitting well and playing his typical outstanding defense) Gardner, Soriano (who could take role of DH more often when Granderson returns in the coming week) and the aforementioned Granderson and then Vernon Wells as your depth. That's five older(not withstanding Gardner), but good options under the circumstances. I think the Yanks would be better vested in a platoon player for Overbay or once again, I solid someone for 3rd. Plus the Yanks have young guys who could break camp next season. I don't know, but Rios makes no sense at this point. Last week, sure…
Soriano would lock in at DH, allowing Rios to play LF. Stretches out the lineup.
Greatly concerned about prospect cost. Other than that, I'm game.
Apparently the Yanks and White Sox may be talking Rios again
I personally wouldn't want him. Though with this team currently constructed you can't be too picky
I think he'd be a decent addition to the team in a vacuum but my question is, where does he play? The OF is pretty booked so I'm not sure how he helps the team based on the current roster.
Soriano can play the infield. Hey he came up as a SS!!
I rather just hang onto Wells at this point. He's a good guy for the clubhouse. He's been here all year. A solid option off the bench, free (for the most part) next year and still plays a solid defense. Rios would be a marginal upgrade, cost money next year, potentially block one of our young guys and or, block us from making a better OF move in the offseason.
I would love for them to see if Mark Reynolds is available. I really hate the fact he's barely batting over the Mendoza line, but he could platoon with Overbay and he is a former third baseman as well. Would add some pop to the lineup.
Don't think the Indians are sellers.
The Indians are playing well. They're buyers, not sellers, although I suppose if we could provide them with something they need more than Reynolds, then a deal could come about.
Problem is he is a DH. He maybe the worst defensive 3B'man in the game to such a degree that any value he delivers with the bat is countered by this glove. That's hard to do, but he does it.
I'm not expecting them to do anything except MAYBE add one bat who's a marginal major leaguer. They definitely won't go out and get a catcher, IMO. Then we'll get the usual BS from Cashman about how there was nobody available and the team will have to tread water the rest of the way until Granderson comes back.
Usual BS? Have you been following the trade market at all or do you just pull statements out of your ass?
How is the Yankees not on Justin Morneau. He fills first and will hit in this ballpark.
Because he wouldn't come with a time machine.
maybe they move soriano back to third. he started his career over at third base. Or we can just not get alex rios. with granderson coming back the outfield is already full.
You know … we hear all this talk about PED's and we then start talking about the hitters. I am curious if these mysterious drops in several pitcher's velocity the last few years is linked somehow ?
Oh no, that's impossible! Bud would never allow PITCHERS to do PEDs.
The Yankees should trade for Nick Castellanos and go with him at 3rd, sounds crazy but what would it take
I disagree in getting Young. Rios doesn't quite fit the need now but does for next year. Best trade is not to make any trade except find takers for Joba. Phil Hughes I hang on and make qualifying offer so hopefully another team takes in via FA and we get supplemental first round pick.
Callaspo makes more sense. 30 year old switch hitter and provides us insurance for next year over Nix and Nunez. The guy is having a solid season particularly in the last 3 weeks. Plus it may cost us a Joba.
Has Soriano ever played 1st? Even if he hasn't, considering his past infield experience, isn't he a viable option?
If he is, I think that gives us a lot more flexibility in looking to acquire an OF/DH bat.
What would Kendry's Morales cost in terms of prospects? It sure would be nice to land him and also make a play for Alberto Callaspo. This would fill two needs, and also give us two switch hitters that are both better from the right side.
CF- Gardner
SS- Jeter
2B- Cano
1B- Morales
LF- Granderson
DH- Soriano
RF- Ichiro/Wells
3B- Callaspo
C- Stewart
Loverboy has a .544 OPS against LHP.
The market sucks, but is it that hard to find a platoon RHB 1Bman?
This seems like the easiest hole to fill.
Crickets on Callaspo? I've said this on about 95% of the more mid-range targets, but I'd certainly be game there.
Anything that extends this lineup more and doesn't give us a chasm of suckness from 7-9 is welcome.
What about Kevin Frandsen? He sucked prior to 2012, but would he better (or cheaper to obtain) than other options?
I still wonder what it would take to get Trumbo from LAA. I think his RH power would play really well at Yankee Stadium and the guy really doesn't have any real lefty righty split. He definitely has his flaws, but it would certainly be an upgrade over Overbay.
I think the Yanks should be heavily in on Michael Morse. He could platoon with Overbay at 1st and shift between OF and DH. He's always been much better against lefties and would fit this team so well. I wanted him in the off-season, but oh well. If we could get him for a decent deal I would be all for targeting him. He fits this team more than someone like Rios because of his ability to play 1st base and outfield. He's a great fit, but chances are the price tag will be too high.
At the very least we should go hard after Callaspo. His contract makes it so it shouldn't take too much to get him if we absorb it. Something like Joba and then a very low level guy (most likely a player to be named later) could get it done.
Mike Morse would also be another Solid addition. What kind of package would the mariners demand?
Based on the Cards' reported interest Ramirez, Rollins, and now Aybar, I think we'd be foolish to not at least ask what they'd give us for Cano.
Agreed. What would it hurt?
I swear, I can't believe the players we're pursuing. We should be moving who we can, not adding more veterans. This team needs an infusion of young, cheap talent in the worst way.
Yup. I'm 60/40 in favor of selling. The 40 comes from the purely selfish fact that I really don't want to give up on this season yet.
But if we traded Cano for a legit haul, then I'd be all for moving Kuroda, DRob, etc., in a serious rebuilding effort.
All those guys play SS. That's the position of need for them not 2b.
CF Gardner 104wRC+
SS Jeter 157wRC+ (2012)
2B Cano 111wRC+
1B Morse 160wRC+
DH Soriano 122wRC+
LF Grandy 104wRC+ (2012)
RF Ichiro 126wRC+
3B Callaspo 108wRC+
Vs RHP
CF Gardy 116wRC+
SS Jeter 100wRC+ (2012)
2B Cano 153wRC+
LF Grandy 123wRC+ (2012)
1B Overbay 114wRC+
DH/RF Soriano 90wRC+
RF/DH Morse 87wRC+
3B Callaspo 83wRC+
C- Meh….
Just sell guys, there's nothing available.
There goes Peavy to the Red Sox!
Wow, Iglesias to the Tigers. I guess they know their SS is getting suspended.
Actually, Iglesias might be a good fit since they have a fire hydrant at 3B. Although Miggy made a nice play today before hurting himself trying to make another nice play.
I think Young and Morales would be great fits for us but it seems like Young isn't going to waive his no trade clause for us. 3B options very limited.
I can't believe teams still get suckered into taking Boston's garbage prospects.
Boston better be sending one of their good pitching prospects in this deal.
Hughes, Nunez and Angelo Gumbs for Headley
Sanchez and Williams for Cliff Lee

Dube, T. and Matutu, P. (2007) A few points on Pointfree pseudocompactness. Quaestiones Mathematica, 30 (4). pp. 451-464. ISSN 1607-3606
Official URL: http://0-www.ingentaconnect.com.wam.seals.ac.za/co...
We present several characterizations of completely regular pseudocompact frames. The first is an extension to frames of characterizations of completely regular pseudocompact spaces given by Väänänen. We follow with an embedding-type characterization stating that a completely regular frame is pseudocompact if and only if it is a P-quotient of its Stone-Čech compactification. We then give a characterization in terms of ideals in the cozero parts of the frames concerned. This characterization seems to be new and its spatial counterpart does not seem to have been observed before. We also define relatively pseudocompact quotients, and show that a necessary and sufficient condition for a completely regular frame to be pseudocompact is that it be relatively pseudocompact in its Hewitt realcompactification. Consequently a proof of a result of Banaschewski and Gilmour that a completely regular frame is pseudocompact if and only if its Hewitt realcompactification is compact, is presented without the invocation of the Boolean Ultrafilter Theorem.

Nassau County Sheriff's Correction Officers Ryan Apicella and Anthony Grimaldi were jointly presented with the American Correctional Officers Life Saving Award.
The award was presented recently by the national organization at its 2012 Fall Conference and Medal of Honor Banquet and Awards Ceremony at which correctional officers, who have risen "above and beyond the call of duty" to perform their jobs selflessly and honorably, are recognized by their peers in the profession.
Correctional Officer Ryan Apicella on March 14, 2012, was on duty guarding an inmate who was under psychiatric observation. The 6-foot, 210 pound inmate, in custody for second degree assault, began to repeatedly bang his head against a wall at the Nassau University Medical Center when staff arrived to provide him with medication.
While the medication was being prepared, the inmate suddenly and violently charged at Correctional Officer Michael Daly, who was supervising another inmate in the Psych Area at the time. The inmate locked his hands around Officer Daly's throat, choking him to the point of near-strangulation.
Officer Apicella and nearby Correctional Officer Anthony Grimaldi swiftly utilized control holds and verbal commands to break the inmate's chokehold on Officer Daly.
Despite the inmate's continued defiance, combative stance, attempts to bite Officer Grimaldi and infliction of multiple injuries on Officers Grimaldi and Apicella, both men persisted and were eventually able to restrain the violent inmate.
"Our Correction Officers work in an environment where life threatening incidents occur frequently," said John Jaronczyk, President of the Nassau County Sheriff's Correction Officers Benevolent Association. "They are constantly under the threat of attack, which reinforces the importance of proper training, staffing and supervision."
"Last March in the face of personal harm and in a selfless act to save a colleague's life Officers Apicella and Grimaldi took heroic action," he added. "This exemplified the qualities that jointly earned them the 2012 ACO Life Saving Award. The Board and members of COBA recognize the commitment and dedication of both of these Officers. They are most deserving of the ACO Life Saving Award."
This was submitted by Corbett Public Relations on beahalf of the Nassau County Sheriff's Correction Officers Benevolent Association.

A neighbor dispute over a trampoline in March 2011 proved that Mill Valley residents have strong feelings about the bouncy mats.
Most of that colorful debate revolved around the technical issue of whether or not trampolines should be designated as "accessory structures," a categorization that includes things like decks and in-ground swimming pools and triggers the city's zoning regulations on where such structures can be placed.
But now the American Academy of Pediatrics has reiterated its warning that kids should stay off trampolines, saying that despite a drop in trampoline-related injuries, the bouncy mats remain unsafe.
The organization released a policy statement this week saying that accidents occur most often when there are multiple people on the trampoline, and include spinal injuries with falls off the equipment or when jumpers attempt somersaults or flips.
"Therefore, the home use of trampolines is strongly discouraged," the AAP stated.
Reuters Health also reported that while the number of trampoline injuries nationwide has dropped over the years—from 111,851 cases treated at U.S. emergency rooms in 2004, to 97,908 in 2009—the devices aren't necessarily more safe.
The AAP's statement updates recommendations from 1999, which caused manufacturers to add safety features to the products in an attempt to mitigate the risks. The most popular of those features is a safety net that encircles the trampoline and cuts the number of injuries by half, Mark Publicover, founder and president of JumpSport Inc, a trampoline manufacturer in San Jose, told Reuters.
What do you think? Do you let your kids play on trampolines? Tell us in the comments.

Herald Staff Writer
A Findley Township woman and her out-of-town boyfriend were arrested Thursday on drug charges after Grove City police found 186 bags of heroin in their motel room and the car they were driving, police said.
The car is owned by a relative of Brittany R. Pringle, which brought on police involvement.
The relative told police Pringle, 21, of 711 Springfield Church Road, had had the car for two days and she wanted it back.
The woman said she found the car at the Park Motel, 1334 W. Main St., and had heard that Pringle and her boyfriend, Brandon P. Lewis, 19, of McKeesport, had been involved in heroin dealing, police said.
Police, who were called at 8:15 a.m., said they found Lewis and Pringle in the motel room and received permission from them and the car's owner to search the vehicle. Police said they found a digital scale "disguised as a cellular phone," and 50 "stamp" bags of heroin in the car.
Upon obtaining a search warrant for the motel room, police said they found 50 bags of heroin in a baseboard heater, and 86 bags in a "false Pabst beer can."
Also seized were $410 and three cellular telephones, police said.
Pringle and Lewis were arraigned by District Judge Ronald E. Antos, Farrell, on charges of possession of heroin, possession with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and conspiracy to commit possession with intent to deliver.
They were taken to Mercer County Jail after failing to post bond.

Go to Molarity: Part Two
Go to Molarity Worksheet
As is clear from its name, molarity involves moles. Boy, does it!
The molarity of a solution is calculated by taking the moles of solute and dividing by the liters of solution.
This is probably easiest to explain with examples.
Example #1: Suppose we had 1.00 mole of sucrose (it's about 342.3 grams) and proceeded to mix it into some water. It would dissolve and make sugar water. We keep adding water, dissolving and stirring until all the solid was gone. We then made sure that when everything was well-mixed, there was exactly 1.00 liter of solution.
What would be the molarity of this solution?
The answer is 1.00 mol/L. Notice that both the units of mol and L remain. Neither cancels.
A replacement for mol/L is often used. It is a capital M. So, if you write 1.00 M for the answer, then that is correct.
Some textbooks make the M using italics and some put in a dash, like this: 1.00-M. When you handwrite it; a good, old block capital M is just fine.
When you say it out loud, say this: "one point oh oh molar." You don't have to say the dash.
And never forget this: replace the M with mol/L when you do calculations. The M is the symbol for molarity, the mol/L is the unit used in calculations.
Example #2: Suppose you had 2.00 moles of solute dissolved into 1.00 L of solution. What's the molarity?
The answer is 2.00 M.
Notice that no mention of a specific substance is mentioned at all. The molarity would be the same. It doesn't matter if it is sucrose, sodium chloride or any other substance. One mole of anything contains 6.022 x 1023 units.
Example #3: What is the molarity when 0.75 mol is dissolved in 2.50 L of solution?
The answer is 0.300 M.
Now, let's change from using moles to grams. This is much more common. After all, chemists use balances to weigh things and balances give grams, NOT moles.
Example #4: Suppose you had 58.44 grams of NaCl and you dissolved it in exactly 2.00 L of solution. What would be the molarity of the solution?
The solution to this problem involves two steps which will eventually be merged into one equation.
Step One: convert grams to moles.
Step Two: divide moles by liters to get molality.
In the above problem, 58.44 grams/mol is the molecular weight of NaCl. (For you technical types, I know it actually is a formula weight, but I'm glossing over the difference for the time being. Remember, this is a high school tutorial.)
Dividing 58.44 grams by 58.44 grams/mol gives 1.00 mol.
Then, dividing 1.00 mol by 2.00 L gives 0.500 mol/L (or 0.500 M). Sometimes, a book will write out the word "molar," as in 0.500-molar.
Do examples #5 and #6 before looking at the answers:
5) Calculate the molarity of 25.0 grams of KBr dissolved in 750.0 mL.
6) 80.0 grams of glucose (C6H12O6, mol. wt = 180. g/mol) is dissolved in enough water to make 1.00 L of solution. What is its molarity?

1) Calcuate the molarity when 75.0 grams of MgCl2 is dissolved in 500.0 mL of solution.
2) 100.0 grams of sucrose (C12H22O11, mol. wt. = 342.3 g/mol) is dissolved in 1.50 L of solution. What is the molarity?
3) 49.8 grams of KI is dissolved in enough water to make 1.00 L of solution. What is the molarity?
Go to the problem answers
Notice how the phrase "of solution" keeps showing up. The molarity definition is based on the volume of the solution, NOT the volume of pure water used. For example, to say this:
"A one molar solution is prepared by adding one mole of solute to one liter of water."
is totally incorrect. It is "one liter of solution" not "one liter of water."
Be careful on this, especially when you get to molality.
