OT- OFFICIAL 2017 YANKEES SEASON THREAD
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
Damn, I guess I must have mixed it all up but I thought DJ and you cheer on the same team...
The irony is that I don't cheer for any of the MLB teams that have been involved in this!
Ya know.....I've been called many things....but never THAT. Some of my in-laws in Pennsylvania would be surprised to hear that.
BTW, I've probably been cursing out Pedd St. and their fans since before you were born.
Nice try though.
So wrong it boggles the mind.All the AL East is proving this season is that it is filled with a collection of very average teams top to bottom. Not much else, I'm afraid.
Let me check last nights sports scores..... oh Yanks lost again....... race to 500 continues
I can't figure it out either.
Also, I'd like to know why Headley should ever be batting second.
During the post-game show I think it was mentioned Tyler Austin had one last season which was the first for a rookie since Melky's in 2006
Ok, I watched the entire HR Derby, and at the beginning I was hoping Judge would be knocked out 1st round.After watching Sanchez beat Gio, I was hoping he and Judge would meet in the finals,even though I figured Yankee fans would be unbearable,lol. By the end, I was rooting for him to win.It pains me to say it,but Judge is the real deal,and seems by all accounts a very likeable kid,if for no other reason by how genuine the other players celebrated with him. Barring a major injury, or a Strawberry/Gooden type drug problem,I'm afraid this kid will dominate the NY sports back page for years to come,ugh.
Bobby Murcer's walk off gave the win to Lindy McDaniel who hit a walkoff homer himself for the Cubs in 1963 to put them into first place.
You can forget Harper,Sparky.http://www.prosportsdaily.com/artic...days-its-pretty-crazy-and-hectic--474856.html
Fine with me..we have plenty of OF prospects past judge and Frazier like McKinney, Blake Rutherford, the kid who for hurt his first game up, and florial. I'd rather sign Machado at third.
Plus he would change his tune is the money is right mighty quick.
With cc and arod off the books next year and ellsbury the year after, we will be able to sign one is Machado and Harper plus 2-3 pitchers. My guess is we sign two and trade Mateo who is back to a superstar for another
Well, if you figure only Severino and Montgomery from this year's rotation will be in next year's, then you need THREE starters....two if you wanna throw Chance Adams in there. Then the team needs relief help....especially to replace Clippard....preferably with a lefty.
We don't need to sign a high-priced outfielder. Maybe Machado at 3rd. But then where does Gleyber play ? We are fine at short and second and both guys are 27
It's pitching the Yankees should focus on.
Tanaka pretty bad, KBEE thought he might be up for Cy Young this year.
Move 6'7 Acevedo to rp and call up the guy we traded McCann for who throws 100 and we're fine at rp..like I said in the quote you posted though, I think you're right on the 3 sp..sign two and trade for one controllable one using mateo or sign one and trade for two controllable options (or one controllable and one rental)...whatever nets us the most.
Move gleybar to 2b and trade Castro before we have to pay him.
Think of where this team would be if he DID have a season like that.
Maybe because expansion has diluted the talent level so thin that you got AAA PLAYING IN MLB. And they're trying to EXPAND again.
Seems to me that if you could put together Mets & Yankee players that have missed extended time this season you would have a pretty fair team.
The only positive about this is that at least the Yanks don't have to make the tough call of whether or not to pay him. I probably would have let him walk, but what do i know?
Figured I'd bump the Yankees thread with some trade deadline chatter. Yankees made a big trade with the White Sox obviously and I don't think they're finished. The need for another SP is evident. Seems like they're pretty engaged with Oakland in talks for Sonny Gray. The A's have been scouting the Yankees system pretty hard the past few days. Apparently they're really interested in 19 year old OF Estevan Florial and SS Jorge Mateo.
Floral has a chance to be a star CF and Mateo has been on fire since being promoted to AA. They're both very good prospects but I'd be willing to part with both of them. This is what I would offer: Florial, Mateo, Acevedo, Adams for Gray/Alonso. Fills the need for a SP and a 1B with some lefty pop.

The only one I've heard that I like is Ellsbury for Verlander.
Personally, I'd stay the course and leave the farm system as well-stocked as it is.
Every Yankee fan likes that. It will never happen. I saw the Giglio article that brings this up. He must be smoking something. The Tigers are only looking to trade Verlander as a salary dump. They arent trading him for another big contract.
I'd have no problem giving up good low level prospects for Sonny Gray. He's a very good pitcher and he's controllable through 2020. It's not like he's a rental. To me it's a no-brainer for the Yanks.
Maybe the holdup is the Yanks wanting to include Alonzo along with Gray and their desire to have the A's take a veteran (Headley T. Frazier) along with the identities of any prospects. I'd even be willing to try Ellsbury at first, his production couldn't be much worse then what they've gotten so far.
Tigers don't want Ellsbury. And honestly I wouldn't want Verlander and the dough he's owed - this isn't the 2011 Verlander we're talking here. He's 34 years old. Do you want another Sabathia contract around the Yanks neck? He's owed $28MM a year for the next 3 years.
Heck of a game ! Getting TB starter Archer out of the game was key , that guy is good !
Fought their way back fro 5-3 deficit. Todd F had a key role, and of course Brett Gardner with the dramatic walk off hr.
