MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Well, you got your man. Still need a lot of work..that division has three very good teams..but these two moves greatly improve the offense..fills one outfield spot with a quality power threat and superb defense at third. I still think they need some youth.. baseball is a long season.. older players have obvious risks..be nice to have gotten ozuna when they failed to get Stanton. He and Bruce along with longo would certainly put them in contention for the second wildcard..but the nl will be tough..lots of good teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 The Yankees should try and see what they can get for betances..he is about to get expensive and they have a betances clone in the kid they got from the Indians in the Andrew Miller trade.. Ben Heller...same exact repertoire as betances and three years younger. Flame thrower with devastating slider..and just like dellin, loses the plate at times..his numbers are almost identical to betances in the minors..14k per nine. If he can figure out his control issues, he is betances when betances is at his best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Yankees offered yu darvish a seven year 160 mil deal and took it off the table when he didn't bite after just 48 hours.

Theres only less than half of those types manning first base these days. Games changed, players changed with it They have Brandon belt in the top ten.

fringe Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 That was most telling. I expected to see him around 20. How can you not learn to poke a ball to the right side of the field, especially at a real ballpark like ATT. Hes have a lot better numbers at little Yankee stadium it thats not where he is.

MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Yeah, but he is an average player regardless. New yankee stadium is awful..I won't even go during the regular season..just for the playoffs. And yankee stadium isn't the only band box in baseball. Every stadium in the Al east is a band box except for Tropicana..which is the worst park in baseball..there should be no domes in baseball.. always should be played outdoors...the green monster is 270 feet from home plate.

fringe Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I don't know why these straight pull hitters with power don't develop a left field swing. That would eliminate the severe shift on them and raise their average by 30 points in Belt's case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it either...teams are basically giving them a base hit when the shift..but they just can't go oppo. Even a bunt that direction will be a single.

MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Yankees are stacked..from low a to the big league team....they can afford injuries at literally every position, besides catcher, and have a replacement that will be nearly equivalent to the starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 The wildcard is going to be bullshit this year..the Yankees, red Sox, Mariners and Astros all might win 100+ games and two of them will have to play a one game crap shoot.

MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Yeah Yankees should look to get some pitching there's nothing worth trading for... unless the Giants are out of it and the yankees throw the kitchen sink to land bumgarner, they might be better off trading for Brad hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yanks have some arms down on the farm if they just wait.....it'll take a Torres or Andjur ...plus a Frazier and one of those farm arms to get him.....

Wagon no Chuck, it won't take all those guys...but Frazier, abreu, Sheffield, Estrada and florial would probably get it done. Which is a tremendous hall for the Giants. A major league ready 23 year old outfielder that has perennial all star written all over him. A just about major league ready left handed pitcher that projects to be a major league number 2. A right hander that's a year away with number 1 stuff and projection. An infielder who has done nothing but rake at every level...just about major league ready and a young freak fibe tool out fielder that has super star ceiling. That's an offer no team can refuse for any player not named Mike trout...and that might even get him. Point is, the yankees have the talent to trade for any player they want if that player is available and they'll still have a top ten farm system...that's how deep the yankees system is...and they did great in this year's draft...same as the last three drafts prior. Clarke Schmidt is going to be a top of the rotation arm. He is expected to start in Staten island...then look for him to cruise through the system next year... possibly making his major league debut at some point after the 2019 all star break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
