I have made a habit of raging on Horseface for years since he chose the Yankees, not the Sox.
Still, I wonder what type of numbers he would have put up if he had been healthy more of the time?
Good bye.

"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Yankees are not going quietly into the night. Sanchez hit another double today. He's now 5 for 17 with 3 doubles since his call up.
I wonder how long we continue with Hicks in the OF. He is getting regular ABs as Beltran is now gone, but he is looking less and less like a regular big league OFer. Judge should be on imminent callup should he prove healthy. Judge had an ok April with a .287BA and .779OPS but he was terrible in May. The Yankees adjusted his swing and shortened it. In doing so, he went totally nuts.
Since June 1-
39 Games (he missed 3 weeks with a knee inj) 143AB 34R 43H 9D 1T 9HR 26BB 37K .301/.408/.566 in that span. The guy is ready. Once he proves his health, he's going to be in RF and will likely be there for a LONG time.
That is the really interesting thing about our "transition". We made a bunch of deals for players, but the only guy who was a top prospect who is close to ready is Frazier, and he just got called up to AAA. That kid probably has another year of MiLB work. But we have a catcher in Sanchez who is ready. We have a 1b in Austin, who is ready and once healthy, Bird should take the mantle there. And we have a RF who is ready in Judge. Severino just got his rotation spot back as well. While it is nice to know Sheffield, Torres, Mateo, Rutherford, etc are on the way, we have the youth movement at present going strong.
Hal sucks
ARod press conference at 11:00. Gotta love it.
I doubt he retires, but I think he'll take the rest of the season off and try to come back strong next year.Originally Posted by Kimmi
Rumors are that it is the end for him with the Yankees. Maybe they are buying out his last season.
The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
He will play his last game on Friday, but will serve as a Special Advisor for the team through 2017.
Corrected to reflect the truth.
The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
Just so long as they go into the night, that's the main thing.
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
Glad to see this Team finally shift into rebuilding mode and saving money, they'll be ready to make a huge splash for the '19 season with the triple threat of signing Bryce Harper, Clayton Kershaw, and Manny Machado
The yanks are playing pretty well recently...while in rebuild mode.
Yeah, Yankees will sign Harper, Machdo and Kershaw, and also acquire Trout, Bumgarner, Donaldson, Betts, Seager, Fernandez and Stanton.. I also think they could also use a good bench. Arenado, Altuve, Bogaerts, Lindor and Posey should suffice.
Well, it wasn't long ago the Yanks were big spenders on FAs.
Even less than 3 years ago, they signed 4 out of the 13 qualifying offer FAs available that year. Since Drew and Morales signed for below QO price, I actually counted it as 4 out of 11.
Ellsbury $153M/7, McCann $85M/5, Beltran ($45M/3), Kuroda $16M/1
(others were Cano, Choo, Cruz, Drew, Grandy, Jimenez, Morales, Napoli, Santana)
Don't be shocked, if they sign 2 out of the big 3.
Brian McCann cleared waivers and may be dealt this August.
A decade gap between Championships isn't acceptable for the Yankees, they'll definitely be signing 2 of the 3.
Oddmakers already the Yankees as heavy favorites to sign Harper.
At 10/3, the Yankees have better odds than the Los Angeles Dodgers (4/1), Harper's current team, the Washington Nationals (7/1), Boston Red Sox (9/1) and Phillies (10/1).
