Going with Shaw amid a wide field of candidates. My tiebreaker is... hmm, how shall I put this -- his excellent performance is highlighted in contrast to what we could have been stuck with. But for Shaw, 3B would have been a major problem position for us yet again, and instead he leads the team in bWAR and looks like he may be our 3B going forward.

 

You do not know this. Obviously, Pablo's injury has thrown a kink into this discussion, but had Pablo been healthy and our starting 3B, you don't know that 3B would have been a major problem.

 

Not taking anything away from Shaw. He has been nothing short of awesome.

I'd have to go with Allen Craig followed by Castillo and Price.

 

Who would your Yankee player of the month be?

 

That's a tough decision as well.

Sound reasoning.

 

About him being the 3rd baseman going forward, I'm not so sure.

 

It's possible that he could be back at first next year if Hanley goes to DH. Who knows who will play 3rd next year? It's far from being determined.

 

But I am pleased with what Shaw has shown defensively at either position.

 

Assuming Shaw continues to play like he has been it's going to be .... interesting.. to see what the FO does about the 3B situation. It's my hope that they don't displace Travis Shaw to make a spot for Sandoval and move Shaw to 1B. I'd much prefer that Sandoval be playing in another team's uni next year and Hanley and that other Travis do battle for the 1B & DH positions.

Yes I do. Pablo sandoval spent last year being the worst professional in the major leagues and is going to spend this season being hurt. If Shaw wasn't there, 3b would be a major problem position for a team that's trying to contend, both because of the fact that Pablo can't do his job at the moment due to injury, and because you have no idea what he'll be capable of post-surgery.

Quite a bit different to post when you have some free time as opposed to posting 24/7

Not crying about it buddy, I'm merely pointing out the facts of the situation. I enjoy the comic relief your ridiculousness brings sometimes.

What facts?

 

Posting on another team's boards has nothing to do with the amount of time spent on said board.

Hmmm, I didn't realize I would have to spell it out for you. You posted on the BDC forum frequently, you were a yankees fan, you came to incite debate. BDC is shutting down, now you come here. You're a nomadic troll, congratulations!!!!

Which again has nothing to do with being here 24/7.

 

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!

At the risk of being told off by Dojji again, please just leave your previous drama off of this board. Move on with your lives. This is somewhere new. All of the old BS from BDC needs to be forgotten per YOTN.

Yes, which has nothing to do with what I said. You said 24/7 not me, I don't care if it's 24/5 2/7 8/24. That has nothing to do with my point...literally...nothing. Are you referring to the fact that other posters might spend more time in here than you? because that would make sense seeing how a Red Sox fan might have more time invested in talking about the Red Sox than Yankees troll might have in trolling but make no mistake you're a traveling troll. It's official.

Understood, but obviously they can't help themselves.

If you guys don't like someone, there is a really simple fix: click on that user's name, select "view profile" and click on "add to ignore list."

 

It makes this place much more civil. Thanks.

I don't have a problem with those guys.

 

In fact, I usually find them entertaining.
