would be an awful trade for the yankees since posada is on his way out. especially if they sign crawford.
they would have upton, crawford, granderson, swisher, and gardner.

I think it would be better for the Yankees as they would be trading a 1 tool player for a 5 tool player. And to make room they could drop Swisher, man he sucks, I'm happy we (A's)got rid of him

Oh yankees, please do that trade and get rid of another outfielder for a different catcher instead.
Montero, short of the stolen bases, could already be a better hitter than upton has shown, well, he would K less.
Yankees would be stupid to make this trade straight up.

From USAToday:
The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, who often find themselves competing for the same player, have each had trade talks with the Arizona Diamondbacks for former All-Star right fielder Justin Upton, high-ranking executives from the three clubs said. The officials are not able to comment on the talks because they are ongoing.
Yet, while the Yankees' package has not met the Diamondbacks' demands, according to officials from New York and Arizona, the Red Sox still are engaged in talks.
"If somebody wants to overpay,'' Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers said, "I'll be more than willing to listen. It's just a thing where people are kicking the tires right now. That's it.''
Upton, 23, was an All-Star in 2009 and would be attractive to many clubs because he's signed through 2015. Upton will make just $4.25 million in 2011.

I would guess a team would really have to overpay to get Justin Upton. Montero alone will not cut it.

Nick Swisher "sucks?"
Surely, you can't be serious.

Montero is 20 and if he was to play next season for the yankees, could put up the numbers upton has.
I like upton but he's gone from a "when" to an "if"

Upton strikes out alot and hasnt been anywhere near the player people thought he would be. Does he have a chance to reach those expectations? Yep, but like I said, its an "If"
Montero has the ability to be alot more than a home run hitter.

Surely, I am, well that's obviously my opinion and you must be a Yankee fan as I can't see why anyone would like a hitter who has this 162 Game Avg. of 29 HR 88 Rbi 1 SB 88 143 k .252 avg. As an A's fan I was more than happy to see him go. He's an avg defender who only hits HR and does nothing else. And by "sucks" I'm not saying he shouldn't be an MLer but more of a 4th OF/Bench type of player just not a starter
