Hank Steinbrenner himself said in 2007 "We’re going to have three No. 1’s three years from now" referring to Hughes, Chamberlain, and Kennedy if that's what people were talking about earlier. Yankees prospects will always get hyped because of the team (same goes for any big market team, really)

Abel Wingnut posted:Did Kevin Towers facilitate the Scherzer trade too? And I'm pretty sure I remember him trading a few good, young pieces to Oakland too. Those wouldn't have hurt matters. nah, that was the year before he was hired he dealt Jarrod Parker to Oakland for Trevor Cahill. Parker blew out his elbow (for the second time), and Cahill looks broken, so that's a bit of a wash right now

LordPants posted:I think they're taking someone out of the rotation and putting them into the bullpen and think Lueke is under performing instead of just being old. I believe that's the rationale. Odorizzi doesn't look like a MLB starter so I assume they're going to replace him

he's a good pitcher who's gotten a little lucky this year because he's only given up 1 home run, and has won lots of games because his team is 3rd in runs scored, and he will not keep it up but it's funny to pretend he will

Pumpkin McPastry posted:You're joking, but Martin Perez is a great example of why cost certainty can be stupid. They're going to be paying him $1.8M to do nothing for almost 2 seasons. It sucks but they're basically losing peanuts compared to what they'd be paying him anyway. The overall return on pre-arb contracts for pitchers has, in general, been extremely good (I can't remember where I saw the examples of this unfortunately) Although at the rate guys break these days, extending anyone would be stupid as hell e: lmfao of loving course it was written about martin perez http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/martin-perez-and-extensions-for-young-pitchers/ ee: looking at it again the analysis is poo poo, because fwar is stupid and it doesn't take into account how the deals play out, but gently caress it, it's a good list of extensions in one place Jim Dwyer fucked around with this message at 04:57 on May 15, 2014 |

Cimber posted:Did pitchers from 1900- 1980ish have these tears? Were a lot of guys going down back then? we don't actually know, because there are no injury records, really, just anecdotes, and also there were no MRIs. It's very likely that guys would pitch for a season or multiple seasons back in the day with a torn UCL, until they sucked too much to play, then they would retire. There were also lots of guys going down to devastating shoulder injuries early in their career, which is less common now.

The_Hat posted:Is Miami actually shopping Stanton or is this all wishful thinking on the part of Red Sox fans? He's been rumored in trades forever because that's what Miami does, but they're not going to trade him while he's young, cheap, under team control through 2016, and they have a team they're trying to be competitive with. I doubt he's still playing for the Marlins in 2016, though. Boston has a lot of assets in their farm system, but I think most of their prospects are overrated.
