brown is finished
New York immediately went to its backup plan, acquiring pitcher Kevin Brown from the Los Angeles Dodgers in a trade for pitcher Jeff Weaver and two minor league prospects, Newsday is reporting.
The completion the trade depends on all players involved passing physical exams
The Yankees will also send $3 million to the Dodgers to compensate for Weaver's salary. Brown will make $15 million in 2003 and 2004. Weaver is set to make $6.25 million in 2003 and $9.25 million in 2004. The Yankees will pay $1.5 million each year to the Dodgers for the term of Weaver's contract.

mud - last year.
brown was great last year...i had him on my fantasy team (got him late due to his injury prone history).
jeff weaver for kevin brown...has the world gone insane?
hey, i'll trade you this one old shoe with holes in it and the shoelaces missing for your rolex...is it a deal?

Brown was healthy most of his career until '01 and '02 but he had a full productive year last year. He's had years, including last year, that Pettite only dreams he could have. I'm not fooled by Pettite's 21 wins last year, Brown obviously was, and is, the better pitcher. Saying Brown is finished is idiotic IMO.
d2...agree that brown is better than pettite but, brown has had his best years in the 2 best pitcher's parks in baseball - florida and l.a.
pettite always pitched in the a.l. so he had to face nine hitters while brown only had to face eight. also, no one can argue that pettite is one of the best "big game" pitchers in the league today.
it will be interesting to see what happens. i predict that brown will probably win more than 14 games next year but i will be shocked if his era and whip is better than last year.

A healthy Brown is still a very good pitcher. He stays in great shape, and is a bulldog competitor. He may be the new Rocket for the Yankees. The Yanks also unloaded the unwanted Jeff Weaver. Andy Pettite signed for 31 million with Houston, even though the Yanks made a last ditch 39 million offer. The fact that Texas has no state income tax, made the offers comparable.
wil.
