Transaction Oracle — A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen Tuesday, June 30, 2009Yankees - Acquired HinskeNew York Yankees - Acquired OF Eric Hinske from the Pittsburgh Pirates for OF Eric Fryer and P Casey Erickson
Hinske wanted more playing time, so the Pirates are helping him out by trading him to a team that will probably play him even less. But at least he has a chance now to play well into October and score some jewelry. Hinske’s never going to be a regular again, simply because he hasn’t been able to even fake third base very well since the shoulder problems.
Neither prospect was all that highly coveted by the Yankees. Fryer had a reputation for being a decent defensive catcher, but the Yankees have much better catching prospects and he was terrible throwing out runners this year. He’s not hitting at all this year and isn’t young enough to have much time to turn it around. Erickson’s a bit more interesting as a full-time reliever, but 23-year-old Sally League relievers are long-shots.

1. Joyful Calculus Instructor Posted: July 01, 2009 at 12:33 AM (#3238344)WTF do you think they're getting for Nyjer Morgan and Eric Hinske?
Milledge and Hannrahan have pretty nice upside. It's exactly the type of trade Pitt should be doing; use fungible pieces to acquire lottery tickets.
Word has it that the Pirates are even paying half of Hinske's remaining salary.
What do the Pirates get out of this? Have the Pirates made a trade int he last few years where they are clearly the team that did better?
What? Nady and Marte for Ohlendorf, Karstens, McCutchen, and Tabata isn't a clear win? A corner outfielder who posted a 105 OPS+ last year and is out for this season and a reliever who's been awful for the Yankees for a useful starter, a couple pieces of depth, and a top 100 prospect?
By the way, saw Tike Redman playing CF and leading off for an Indy team last night.
