Pretty impressive win. The late game heroics can't be something you rely upon long term, but it's fun as poo poo.

This lineup can save bad pitching. Once their bullpen gets back to full strength and Sonny Gray remembers how to pitch, we'll get back to 7-3 games.

I'm glad they stuck with Walker. He could always hit. They really need to move Hicks down in the lineup. He just isn't a good hitter.

I was complaining about Walker (who has indeed started hitting a bit, but I want Bird back bad) and Andujar. I just hate Andujar's approach at the plate, he needs to spend time in Scranton, especially with Drury hitting well there. Compare Andujar to Hicks, who has holes in his swing, but at least he can work the count a little bit, and he's the only realistic defensive option in CF. Gardner is heating up a tiny bit again and I love him, but I really want to see what Frazier can do.

He's been truly terrible. Their best team is probably with Gardner in Center and Frazier in LF. Andujar is 5th on the team in XBH. Sending him down would be ridiculous.

A quarter of the way through the season and the Yanks are on pace for a 113-49 record, and each of Stanton/Judge/Sanchez is on pace for 40 or more dingers that late change in the Nats series to get Scherzer a start seems like it won't be fun

Scherzer looked really solid his start. I think he had 10+ strikeouts.

Just your daily note that I loving love Gleyber Torres. Bref has him at .9 war, Fangraphs has him at .5 war. Even if you go by Fangraphs, that's what, a 4 win player over 160 games in his age 21 season (he's played 20 games).

This Drury situation is interesting. RAB put up an article just now about the options for him since his rehab assignment ends tomorrow and it doesn't seem like his eye issues are fixed yet. But they have to make a decision Edit: after I typed this, they activated him and optioned him to AAA humpthewind fucked around with this message at 19:18 on May 14, 2018 |

Andujar won the job and Drury isn't back to 100% which made it a very easy call.

But they have to make a decision RAB actually made a really dumb fuss about nothing with regards to this because Drury gets paid a major league salary regardless of whether or not he’s playing in AAA the rest of this year. He signed a $621.9k guaranteed contract just for being added to the 40 man roster. His agent isn’t going to really care because his salary isn’t going to change. And he’ll still be accruing MLB service time as long as he’s optioned for less than 20 days (he doesn’t if it’s longer than 20).

Who knows how much Gardner has left in the tank. Though as you intimated, Hicks is making the decision a little easier since he has been pretty awful.

I totally agree, Frazier is probably the hitting prospect I’ve been most excited about since the Miller trade. He deserves a chance at the bigs in New York I’m also really disappointed in Hicks. Had a nice season last year but he’s gone back to Minnesota levels this season. Really thought he was gonna break out in a big way this year but I guess these are those misses in player development that happen

I guess the question is, is a Frazier - Gardner - Judge outfield playable? I'm just not sure about Gardner in center anymore.

Clint’s played a lot of CF in his current MiLB stint, so it’s possible we something silly like Gardner/Frazier/Judge or Stanton/Frazier/Judge happen

Gardy has lost a step on defense but I think he's still above-average out there. I also don't think Hicks has completely lost it, but given that Gardy is technically a free agent after this season there's no reason for the Yankees to not try everybody out. (That said, out of everybody mentioned here, Frazier is the one who has looked the most out-of-place in the OF.) Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 17:00 on May 15, 2018 |

He looked bad and said they ID'd a problem with his swing and has been looking better. His OBP is in line with his career numbers so far and he's actually walking more than least year. Reports of Gardner's death are pretty exaggerated right now.

I mean he has clearly lost something at the plate (although he has picked it up recently), but he looks fine in center field from what I've seen this year.

The gently caress are you talking about Gardner can't work counts anymore? He's 14th in P/PA right now, he was 12th last year and his number of pitches seen is actually higher this year. I wish they'd send Andujar back to AAA and bring up Drury. Andujar has an awful plate approach and needs to learn how to take a walk

Also some guys don't walk a lot and have high-contact oriented approaches and that's not necessarily a bad thing. You want to send a guy back to AAA to completely change how he hits.

Also Drury is not alright by his own admission and https://twitter.com/ByDJEberle/status/995143213202788352 EDIT: Also also Drury's BB% with Arizona in 2016 and 2017 was 6%. For his entire career he's pretty much been the same type of hitter as Andujar. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 19:22 on May 15, 2018 |

This idea that Brandon Drury is some great hitter is really weird. Dude is a slightly below average MLB bat, which is exactly what Andujar is currently. The difference is that Andujar has the potential to mash taters like no ones business and Drury does not.

I like Drury a bunch (he's been barely below average while being unable to see the dang ball!) but the idea that he's a clearly superior hitter to Andujar is...not borne out by the data.

Was kinda hoping Frazier would start. Also Torres 9th and Tanaka 8th. Maddon would be proud. 1. Hicks - CF 2. Judge - RF 3. Stanton - LF 4, Sanchez - C 5. Gregorius - SS 6, Austin - 1B 7. Andujar - 3B 8. Tanaka - SP 9. Torres - 2B

Interesting thought I had while reading the N/V thread. How much salary would you be comfortable eating to get Ellsbury off the roster? I think up to 66%
