So I’ve read a few reports that the Yankees are looking at getting Jacque Jones from the Cubs because their rookie outfielder, Melky Cabrera, has been having some troubles as of late.

I kinda think this would be a catch 22 for both teams in all honestly. Sure, Jones has been very hot for the Cubs the last two months, but he had a HORRID start, and who’s not to say that he’ll go back to that again after the break with Derrek Lee returning back next week. The Yankees have been known to take the hot player of the time, and they turn out to be junk for them most of the time *cough* Carl Pavano, Jaret Wright, Kevin Brown *cough*. They just go out and buy their players. You can gaurentee that Jones won’t be around after Sheffield and Matsui get healthy again. They are the big men at the corners, and nobody is going to be able to change that, let alone a average to average plus player in Jones.

Felix Pie isn’t ready to play in the Big Show yet, but he will be one of the September callups for the Cubbies. It would all depend on what the Cubs would get in return for Jones. The Yankees really don’t have the greatest farm system, because they buy their roster every year. Every once and a while they will find a jewel in the rough, like Soriano or Cano. They usually don’t have much home grown talent playing for them.

Naturally both teams are denying everything at the moment.
