In terms of headliners, Florial, Frazier, Drury, and Sheff are the only guys who can headline a major deal. That being said, I don't think the Yankees are in on any major deals. I don't see the Yankees giving up the type of package the Mets are looking for in exchange for Degrom or Thor. I don't see the Giants dealing off MadBum until his value returns. I don't want Hamels at all. Happ has not been pitching well of late, and at his best, isn't a guy you throw at the beginning of a rotation That being said, a guy like Chance Adams can definitely get it done for Happ. Adams has been better since June started. 26.2IP 21H 10ER 11BB 27K 3.37ERA 1.24WHIP. His command has not been there this year, but his K rate is still high and his stuff is still good. Need to see more from him down the stretch to rebuild value

You cannot just cherry pick away the good stuff, though. German's season overall shows very strong peripherals. 10.5K/9IP, 2.9BB/9IP and a 4.17FIP and 3.57xFIP. He has been inconsistent in the zone which is why his ERA is 5.32. His mix of stuff (95mph average FB, curve and change mix), K rate and ability to avoid the walk points towards a much better pitcher. His HR rate is very inflated as well compared to what he did in the minors (2.5 times the amount he averaged in the minors) which is likely why the ERA is up where it is.

Yankees sign #9, 10, 11, and 29 on MLB.com top 30 INTL prospects

We’ve got Sheff and Florial who will still be top 50 come seasons end. Frazier would be top 50 if he didn’t exhaust his rookie eligibility. Drury is also part of the system as he’s been on the shuttle since being Pipp’d. We’ve got oodles of pitching. Abreu will likely still be a top 100 guy on stuff alone. I expect Medina to crack the top 100 as well. Rare to see an 18 year old sit at 100 mph. Think about this. Loaisiga and German were not top national prospects and both have found varying degrees of success in the majors. We’ve got a ton of guys who won’t hit the top 100 radar but will have quality big league careers. The pitching is insane in this system and it will bear fruit or bear trades. I’m just not sure I like the idea of parting with a kid who could be a rotation fixture going forward for a Happ type

Chance Adams still has worth. It’s fallen a bit, but he’s still showing lights out stuff. His location has fallen a bit Domingo Acevedo has been good since h came back. Nobody throws harder Domingo German could bring back something solid. He’s shown elite stuff with typical rookie inconsistency Same can be said for Loaisiga Clint Frazier has been awesome all year this year. I hope we don’t move him, but he can headline a package. Sheffield is one of the best prospects in baseball. He’s left handed, tops out at 98mph and throws a plus slider and change. He’s shown much better location. He’s got ace potential. Dillon Tate has been solid in AA and came into the year with much fanfare after a good 2017 Trevor Stephan has moved up to AA with solid two pitch mix. If his change comes along, he’ll be a heck of a prospect Matt Sauer, Luis Medina and Roansy Contreras have shown lights out stuff in the lower levels a la Jorge Guzman and he got us Stanton. Florial will be back next month, so it’s not like he’s missing a full year. He can headline a package too Our position player side is thinner than it had been as we have graduated a lot of all star level players. But we’ve got pitching to spare and they can headline any deal. The question is whether we want to

You’re an idiot.

Happ hasn’t been great of late as well. We have a top 3 that can rival anyone sans Houston (nobody will rival them no matter what we do). We’ve got a ton of talent and right now have Loiasiga going well and German going so-so. Sheff is lighting it up in AAA as well. I’d look at dealing off Gray plus for another pitcher of consequence, but getting a #4 for playoff time isn’t really all that intriguing.

Sevy, CC, and Tanaka is a good top 3 in the playoffs, especially with our pen. We need to have someone step up as the 4, cause Gray ain’t cutting it

Price dominated Houston earlier in the year. He’s face NY twice this year and allowed 12ER in 4.2IP. He’s got a 3.32ERA against everyone but the Yanks

Goodnight all. Great series gents!

And genette him a new knee...har har har

Yes, and I classify Porcello and ERod as #3's, especially for this year

Of course

No, you've got an ace, two 3's, a 4, and a cadre of s*** especially if Wright is out for a long time

Justin Haley almost died

Price's ERA up to 4.28. That isn't terrible, especially after the ass-kicking he just took. He is a #3 or #4 starter. If the sox and yanks played a 7 game series, Price would probably start game 4

I smell a David Hale or Chasen Shreve sighting

This gutless Sox team is so gutless they’re gonna be 4-5 vs the Yankees and are in a virtual tie. Break em up!

Maybe? They are beating the s*** out of teams with a .500 or better win percentage.

Boom! Hicks!

Good for Higgy. Kid has real power. Bout time he got a hit

Higa BOOM

Pick your poison

Price has figured it out at the point. Cutters in, changes away. Too little, too late

Not necessarily. ARod is right (I know, I know, its not a popular opinion). Price needs to start throwing cutters in. 4 seamers in will he hit over the wall in RF.
