Yeah bird is whatever at first base, but its first base so who cares about defense. Seeing Nick Johnson's name thrown around actually got me thinking, "Nick Johnson with more power" is probably a good comp for bird, similar health issues too.

ihatepants posted:My complaint wasn't that the Sox signed Martinez, even though he is a very good hitter. It's that the Yankees are somehow scared to spend money to improve the team, even marginally, when the Sox are willing to spend over $230 million this season (~$60M more than the Yankees) I get that the Sox already reset their luxury tax, but it's not like the Yankees are hurting in revenue that they can't afford to pay that tax. Couple that with Steinbrenner's quote from a few years ago where he said you don't have to spend $200 million on a team, of course I am concerned that they would rather pocket the money than spend it on the team like George used to do. The Luxury tax is a bitch and it's very apparent that it makes the richest of the rich squeamish at this point. I think people just have to get used to Baseball having a salary cap until it is removed, which it 100% should. The bigger question is, again, who do you want the yankees to spend money on? Yu Darvish obviously would be good and they should have went after him, but Andujar is one of the most highly regarded prospects in baseball, as is Torres. Both are major league ready, or are close to major league ready. Signing a dude obviously blocks them, so whats the point of signing a stopgap? If they get through spring training and Andujar doesn't seem ready, then Mike Moustakis can be had on a 1 year contract, most likely. Spending money just to spend money would be loving dumb, and sometimes the best decision is to do nothing.

He's just been refusing to waive his NTC. Except for all the reports that say no one wants him and the team has not asked him to waive his NTC, but sure. People are just chomping at the chance to trade for old Jacoby Ellsbury.

They are clearly loving with Torres' service time, so at this point I would not expect to see him until september call ups unless he like, explodes in the minors or something.

That's complete BS, because if his glove was anywhere near "average" he would the starting 3B without batting an eye. An average defensive 3rd basemen with his bat would be a top 15 starting 3rd basemen with literally no question. e: That is not to say I dont agree with you, dude should be on the roster and probably starting this year.

I mean, Neil Walker should start. He's really goddamn good. Plus if Torres ends up being ready they can move him at the deadline probably for some kind of prospect. Adding and starting Walker is a no brainer.

Monster seats are tough, if only because there are so few seats up there. Honestly I have never even really tried to look into sitting up there because they are so expensive. I know they have Standing Room only tickets up there that are generally cheap though. e: I will say this; Fenway is surprisingly a decent place to watch a baseball game. Even the right field bleachers are pretty good. If you're willing to forgo the wall there are some great places to sit around the stadium for a decent price.

Once hicks has his legs back and is playing center, it really is going to open things up for the yankees. The more they can alternate Stanton/Judge DH/RF the less they have to give them days off. Also explaining the importance of getting to the ballpark early to my girlfriend is very difficult!

Judge is the real deal, but I think he is always going to be plagued with hot/cold streaks just by the nature of his swing. Losing small amounts of bat speed is a huge deal for him, which is another reason to believe he is going to have a really short career. Which is very

mcmagic posted:It doesn't really make much sense to have Drury, Walker and Torreyes all on the roster. Also, It completely changes what they can do in free agency this offseason. They should throw a stadium full of money at Kershaw and Corbin if you ask me. Yes, a year ago I was all in on Machado, but Didi turning into prime A-rod, as well as having 5-6 great, cheap, cost controlled bats. This trade deadline they are almost certainly going to be all in on the best pitcher who is on the market. Frazier still is completely unnecessary, especially with Florial looking so good in the minors. I still think Fullmer is going to end up on the Yanks come the trade deadline. Something like Frazier/Chance Adams/a lesser prospect seems like a good thing to trade for his 4 years of control. I'm not so sure that Kershaw is the best target, but Corbin seems like an obvious target for the Yankees. A Severino/Corbin/Tanaka/Fullmer/Gray rotation seems like what we could be looking at next year.

mikeraskol posted:Do we actually want to trade Frazier when Gardner is like 90 years old? I guess if you think you are one arm away from winning the world series this year you have to do it. Even with gardy being old as gently caress, you have Stanton/Hicks/Judge/Ellsbury under contract until at least 2020 with Florial waiting in the wings before that. Frazier is ready now, and the only way that can actually make use of him is to trade him for something they can actually use.

CC is obviously a gamble, as every 37 year old is a gamble to a certain extent. Regardless, it's exactly the kind of gamble a team in the Yankees should, and often do, make. We've had enough evidence to know that Sevy is for real, and Tanaka is more or less a known quantity. His peripherals look better than his ERA does this year, so you could suggest that he is performing below his means. The biggest issues right now are depth, and if Grey is completely borked or not. Gray honestly looks like something is pretty wrong with him; he has no command what so ever. I'd really expect him to have something announced any day now. They are going to buy someone at the trade deadline, the question is really who, and at what cost.

I need to learn to enjoy the ride. alternatively, there is fundamentally no difference between runs scored in the 8th inning vs. runs scored in the 3rd inning other than how we perceive them and what pitchers they are facing.
