In my opinion, the next players won't be back with the team:

 

Tulo will retire

Kendry will be DFA

Ellsbury will be released next year

Posted
Sevy to start throwing off a mound next week. Which means he probably won't get into sim/rehab games until mid July, so early August is probably a realistic return date barring any setbacks.
Posted

Judge expected to be activated Friday. The lineup will be complete for 2019.

 

1. Lemahieu 3B

2. Judge RF

3. Sanchez C

4. Stanton LF

5. Encarnacion DH

6. Voit 1B

7. Gregorius SS

8. Hicks CF

9. Torres SS

 

Urshela and Gardner waiting in the wings. This is an awesome lineup. They can be patient and aggressive. Hit for power and contact. The meshing of the team is absolutely incredible. This is a championship lineup. The rotation... not so much

That’s my expectation. I just don’t want a rental unless Sevy returns and is himself. I had Montgomery penciled into next season’s rotation, but if he's one of the 20% or so who have complications and never comes back right, we’ll need someone for 2020 too. And if we’re going to spend prospect capital, we might as well do it for someone who’s gonna be around for a bit.

 

I like our 2-3 in the playoffs. I do think Paxton and Tanaka are good pitchers and Tanaka especially has been a lights out pitcher in the post season. But we either need Sevy to be Sevy or get someone who could be

What happened to you high hopes for Happ? I remember when I mentioned his age has increased the chances he's due for a decline and possibly a steep one, you poo-poo'd the idea.

 

Your everyday players and pen are solid-- more than solid.

 

Only the rotation can keep you guys from being the playoff favorites.

 

My guess is, you guys go very big for a top SP'er like Scherzer.

Happ and CC are what they are. I said it from the beginning and during the offseason. They're 5 inning pitchers. Limited risk, money wasn't insane, so Happ's deal was fine. Do I want him on the mound in anything but a game 4 of the postseason, absolutely not

I remember differently, when last winter, I was questioning Happ and CC. You kept bringing up Happ's great, recent numbers.

When I posted my wish list I had said Happ was a good 5 inning pitcher for us and with our great pen, he’s a fine fit. That hasn’t changed

 

I remember saying he was due for a set back year, and you disagreed.

I don’t think he’s having a setback year. I expect him to be akin to Porcello with less innings. 30 starts, 170IP or so, 4.2 ish ERA

Come on. This guy was great for you guys last year and has these ERAs since 2015:

3.61

3.18

3.53

3.65 (2.69 with the Yanks)

4.59 this year

 

WHIP last year 1.13

WHIP this year 1.21

 

He's doing significantly worse than last year, 2017, 2016 and 2015. And, he's doing worse that you expected him to be doing.

It's not terribly significant especially since we aren't even at the halfway point. He had a terrible March start, a representative April, a bad May (albeit 4-1) and a good June thus far. In the 3 yrs prior to this one, he has had a significantly better ERA post ASB than before.

Nice spin.

 

We'll have to agree to disagree.

Posted
I will agree that he hasn't been what he was the years prior, but that's assuming he continues at this pace the whole year. If he finished the year with a mid 4's ERA, I will say you were right

I can agree to this, but I thought it was implied I meant only "so far this year."
