Last night, on Twitter, a discussion between myself and my followers broke out. The question was, hypothetically, if there was a deal on the table that involved sending Jesus Montero to the Dodgers for left-handed stud Clayton Kershaw. It's fairly obvious that the Dodgers wouldn't do this, but I thought it might be an effective tool to gauge the fans' value of Montero.

The final vote was 19-6 in favor of doing the deal, and here are all of the 25 votes, as transcribed from the Twitter.

The Responses: Yes votes

Crowny3: Of course.

Mwash1983: Absolutely do it, Kershaw pitched better on the road than at home this season

PhilHughesFan: That's a no-brainer. Of course the Dodgers wouldn't do it.

TylerWilkinson: Yes.

Dpatrickg: I vote yes, if Montero's the only of the Yankees top 6 or 7 prospects going to L.A.

JoePawl: Make that six (yes votes).

HammerF: Make it six (although he was actually seven).

LeoKitty: Yes plz re: Kershaw trade.

JayDestro: All hangs on control (contract-wise), but leaning toward yes.

PPinstripes: I agree with Joe, especially because Kershaw is established and ridiculously young himself.

Rebexarama: Thought about it, I think I'd do it. Neither is 100,000% proven, obviously, but at least Kershaw's been in the majors.

dp57: Yes.

mikeaxisa: Kershaw and I wouldn't think twice about it.

Yankees_N_More: ABSOLUTELY YES! But only if I couldn't find a way to go get King Felix.

TheYankeeU: Absolutely. And I doubt you'll find a bigger Montero booster than me.

Heelsonthefield: I'll throw my vote in. Quality pitching trumps anything and everything. Yes to trade. Very dependent on terms of deal though.

GreggFerrara: Count me in as trade Jesus for the young lefty K machine.

OSingh91: I am a huge prospect hugger, but I'd easily take Kershaw. Love starting lefties that miss a lot of bats.

Joe_DelGrippo: Tough choice as I love Montero, but Kershaw is too good to pass on. Picked him at beginning of year as my Cy Young dark horse.

The Responses: No votes

TheBronxView: I wouldn't, just because I want to see the Yankees develop a big power bat. Trade would make sense for the Yanks, though.

Stevensmithy: I really like Montero, and I don't care a TON for Kershaw. He can look very pedestrian at times in a weak-hitting division.

AndyinSunnyDB: Make that three for Montero. To steal a poker term, I'm going all in with him. Legends live forever.

Yankees666: No. Laura Posada said that Jorge will dh, so it's Montero time in the Bronx.

Cephster: Going to say no as well. Would only trade Montero for a sure thing, and Kershaw ain't it.

TheSteamer: No.
