Almost a Blockbuster by Detroit Last Night

Wow! we almost really made a deal last night. A 3-way deal with the Yankees and D'backs. We would have parted ways with Curtis and Edwin but, we would have really picked up some propects (including Austin Jackson, who is Curtis's look-alike). I really don't like the concept of giving up a home grown talent like Curtis not an All-Star starter but, if you were going to do it, this may have been the move to make. Either the Yankees or the Tigers halted the talks on this. Here's the info:

Detroit would have given up:
Curtis Granderson
Edwin Jackson

Detroit would have received:
Max Scherzer SP, from Arizona, 25 years old
D'Backs - 9-11, 4.12 ERA, 170 IP, 166 H, 63 BB, 174 Ks
Max had a great season last year. His W-L is a little misleading. Max pitched almost 200 innings and managed a solid 9.2 K/9. Edwin had a better ERA but in all reality Max and his additional 2 years of team control may have actually been a smart move.
Austin Jackson CF, from Yankees, 22 years old
AAA - Scranton Yankees - .300 avg, 23 2B, 40 bb, 123 Ks and 24 SBs
Austin Jackson is a top notch prospect (who knew the Yankees had any left). He has averaged about .290 since being drafted in the 8th round of the 2005 draft fresh out of high school.
Michael Dunn RP, from Yankees, 25 years old
AA-AAA - 4-3, 3.15 ERA, 73 IP, 58 H, 46 BB, 99 K's
Michael Dunn is a power pitcher! He spent the season between AA & AAA last year. He actually improved as he moved up. Dunn maintained an amazing 12.2 K/9 average but, his 5.6 BB/9 was a little high.
Phil Coke RP, from Yankees, 27 years old
Yankees - 4-3, 4.50 ERA, 60 IP, 44 H, 20 bb, 49 K's
Phil was on his way up through the minor league ranks as a starter, and a good one. In 2008, Phil had started 20 games for the Yankees AA affiliate and posted a 9-4 record with a 2.51 era. When he was brought up in late 2008 (debuting against your Detroit Tigers) he was brought in as a bullpen guy. He was a little wreckless last year (blowing 5 saves) but, overall looks like a solid middle relief type.
