    Lawton set to get traded to the SpanMe's

    The New York Yankees are close to a deal to acquire outfielder Matt Lawton from the Chicago Cubs, according to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark.

    The Yankees would send a minor-league player to be named to complete the deal.

    Lawton is batting .266 with 11 homers and 48 RBI

    This would be Lawton's second trade of the season. He was dealt from Pittsburgh to the Cubs last month in a swap of outfielders. Jody Gerut was sent to the Pirates in exchange for Lawton, who has also played for the Twins (1995-01), Mets (2001) and Indians (2002-04).

    Lawton, 33, is a career .269 hitter with 137 homers. He is a free agent after this season.
    "Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."

      I read it's an A league pitcher....

      Damn, that's not much in return...

      They must have seen how shitty an outfielder he was quickly...

      And how desparate the Yanks are...

      But he makes good contact, for all of his defensive and baserunning liabilities....

          I never thought he'd stay with the Cubs for long, especially with Patterson back.

              Seemed to be having a good year at Class A though ... the Yankees parting with any prospects anymore seems to be a mistake, they have none.

                          Hope it turns out like the Chacon trade.

                                  lol ... didn't Lawton have a huge base hit last night that led to A-Rod's game winner in their 5 run 9th?
