    As I said, I disagree with those forecasts. I don't think they are so well positioned long term and I would expect some of that long term capital will be exchanged for short term assets anyway. Saying anything positive about the Yankees' future (everyone's future is highly speculative) is just dumb imo. I can acknowledge when they play well and beat us and tip my hat to them (but never call them "My Daddy"), but I would never say that their long term future is brighter than ours, unless we rehire Ben Cherington.

    And that the mere mention of their name causes involuntary physiological responses.
  3. a700hitter
    Unless he can find his sinker, his stuff is very ordinary and he doesn't have pinpoint command. He needs a lot of run support to be successful.
  4. a700hitter
    His game has reached a new level in the last 3 years. This year has the best of the 3 seasons, but I think it would be safe to assume that he will be a .760 OPS guy with 25-30 steals as a low baseline. 81 games at Fenway might pop him up to an .800 OPS.
  5. a700hitter
    Is he disliked? I have never heard him get booed.
  6. a700hitter
    It depends on full tear or partial tear. Nolan Ryan's healed.
  7. a700hitter
    That doesn't make me want to be in the position of the Yankees -- long or short term.
  8. a700hitter
    They will need to make some big acquisitions including for starting pitching for me to envy them even in the "long term." But that remains to be seen.
  9. a700hitter
    Just my opinion. I am not buying the Yankee future hype at all.
  10. a700hitter
    I would go 3 years. I don't think he will attract many offers longer than that unless he wins World Series MVP.
  11. a700hitter
    Still dumb.
  12. a700hitter
    Or maybe like the Dodgers, they will cool off and that could come at a very bad time for them.
  13. a700hitter
    He can rotate around the IF and DH without hurting us too much. Pedroia will need more regular rest and Nunez may not be a step down at 3B from Devers if he falters. He is a very solid offensive player that adds depth to the lineup.
  14. a700hitter
    Guardians comeback and win # 22 in extra innings.
  15. a700hitter
    Actually, I should have mentioned the last 3 years. While his OBP is up modestly, his OPS went up more than 100 points and is increasing.
  16. a700hitter
    This is just dumb.
  17. a700hitter
    I thought the plan was for Remy to finish out the home stand. Was he just not up to going several games in a row? Hopefully, he gets his strength and health back.
  18. a700hitter
    But over the last 2 seasons, his game has hit another gear.
  19. a700hitter
    I loved Groucho!
  20. a700hitter
    Or he may just be an airhead and we will be seeing these kind of boneheaded plays and misplays as long as he is here. What people are interpreting as a cool unflappable demeanor may just be an indicator that there isn't a lot going on above the shoulders.
  21. a700hitter
    I took the game in on the radio today as I was driving. We could use more communication between our base runners and coaches, but the players shouldn't have to ask for the information.
  22. a700hitter
    I don't know what the plan is with this, and I am not sure that they know. Will they piggyback him on starts of other pitchers down the stretch? Will they use him in high leverage situations? Are they going to try to stretch him out in this role with the hope that he can start games in the post season?
  23. a700hitter
    I think Nunez is much better than those other players.
  24. a700hitter
    But he makes a great latte.
  25. a700hitter
    Unlike in past years, where the team could always battle and often beat premium pitchers, this group looks helpless against top pitchers.
