Trade Grade revisited
Well it looks like McCutchen and Kartsens are part of the trade and not Kontos and Coke.
I still give the trade a B+. Kontos is 23 and in AA so he projects pretty similar to McCutchen who is 26 and at AAA. Kartsens and Coke is also a push. Coke is a #3-#4 starter or could be a lefty reliever. Kartsens is a lot like Rasner so we will not miss him.
The Yanks still have a lot of very good young arms in the minors so overall, the trade was a very good one. If you like folowing Mac names, there is a kid at Tampa, McCallister who is 20 and having a great year. Could be with the Yankees in 2010 at 22.
