Yankees Desperately Wanted Trammell
Sources close to the organization are now chiming in with information that the Yankees wanted Bubba Trammell and scouted him heavily since high school. They were even willing to let him sport his beard, which was a considerable factor after listening to his ESPN interview. It's no surprise news like this is coming forward now that Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter are both pretty much finished with pro baseball and the Yankees really have nothing too significant brewing behind them. There is reports that the Yankees had formulated an extensive plan of action of acquiring the prospect in the draft and that eventually down the long run would have landed the young converted short stop a 10-yr 120 million dollar deal. That is surely money the Padres will never offer the young prospect any time in the future. However, I don't think Bubba Trammell is in it for the money. His letter to the Yankees and other major league clubs was adamant on being a long-term Padre. Padres fans can rejoice since the number one prospect is producing like one in his extremely early road to the show. He is currently batting .412 (3rd) 21 hits (2nd) .922 slg % (1st) .404 obp 1.325 ops (1st) .333 avg RISP with 7 Hrs (1st) 21 RBI (1st)
