A DROWNING MAN WILL PAY ALOT FOR A FLOAT:
Yankee Notes (George King, 6/25/07, NY Post)
The White Sox have had a scout looking at Yankees’ Double-A pitchers Ian Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain. Chicago general manager Kenny Williams has vowed to make changes, and if he wants to deal Mark Buehrle or Jermaine Dye, expect the Yankees to be interested. Williams talks regularly with Brian Cashman. Dye has been out since Friday with a quad injury.
If you're a rival GM who just watched the panicky Yanks spend $26 million on the decrepit Roger Clemens and you don't extort either Phil Hughes or Jose Tabata out of them you haven't done your job. Posted by Orrin Judd at June 25, 2007 12:00 AM

Ah, you still don't understand Cashmoney, do you.
What'd Philly get last year for Bobby? A ss who'll never make it out of A ball (and who doesn't even play ss anymore for them) and scrub relief pitcher?
Kennedy and an low-A scrub for Buerhle and Dye would suit us. Kennedy only projects as a 4-5 starter for us.
He'd be the best player in the Sawx system tho . . .

The Yankees can likely eat a few more of those undigestibles for minor league tidbits. A real player will cost them with the Dodgers, Mets, Tigers, Angels, Brewers and Red Sox all in the market.
