    I miss the days where the Yanks see a weakness on their team and just get the best player to fill it. Last time they had a good team with clear hopes and went top of the line to replace them, they won a title (09). Each year they’ve filled one hole with a top line guy and skimped elsewhere, that weak link cost us. Get a CFer, a SS and a good defensive catcher. The rest of the team is good enough to win.

    If Jimenez is a SB threat at the big league level, he’s gonna get taken. A bad team can stash him as a 4th OFer and if he’s fast, make use of him. Feltman May get selected, relievers with upper level stats usually do get picked

    Yanks are apparently monitoring the SS market rather than leading it, hoping for a bargain. f*** you Hal. Seriously, f*** you
  4. jacksonianmarch
    Not giving up. I want him on the team. I worry about guys who pop from nothing then slip. Makes me worried the next slip will be precipitous and we cannot afford that
  5. jacksonianmarch
    He’s a wild card, but the best offensive Japanese player since Ohtani.

    If their plan is Urshela 3b, Seager SS, Torres 2b, Lemahieu 1b, I’ll be a bit disappointed. Maybe it leaves the option of Voit returning to health and moving DJ to 3b, but you know how I feel about Voit’s knee
  7. jacksonianmarch
    Guy could walk, steal bases and play good D. His DFA all but guarantees Urshela will be the super sub

    Nelson and Sands dealt for a bag of s***
  9. jacksonianmarch
    Wade, Odor, Frazier DFA’d. Surprised about Wade, to be honest.

    Cherington didnt request a top 100 prospect for Taillon, even though the package netted fringe top 100 guy Contreras and really promising lower level player Escotto. As I have said many times and the trades Cashman keeps making bears out, the Yankees system is really, really deep. We might not have a top 20 prospect in all of baseball, but we back it up with plenty of INTL signees who bring the goods

    I’m really surprised we let Locastro go. Guy could fly. Then again, ACL tear in a speedster is an issue for sure

    Back to hating this prick

    Downs was rushed. He had all of 12 games in AA pre pandemic. Since they didn’t need him early and knew they didn’t, it would have behooved them to start him in AA and build his confidence. Instead, he was ok in AAA for a few months then went in the shitter deep in the summer and never really pulled out of it. He’s a guy I’d be interested in seeing get another full year in AAA now that he’s not missed a full season and now that he should be comfortable

    Linder struggled with injury and initial poor performance, but his second half was solid. He’s poised for a huge year
  15. jacksonianmarch
    Looks like the Braves have offered a Goldschmidt extension at 5-135. He wants 6-200. I’d go 6-150 and call it a day. Yanks need to maximize these next three years. Call it a cliff thereafter, whatever, they have to win while Judge is still a force
  16. jacksonianmarch
    Or do the Yanks bite the bullet, save the farm a bit and sign Freeman? It seems Atlanta is playing hardball with him
  17. jacksonianmarch
    I wonder if the sox would be another option for Chapman or Olson
  18. jacksonianmarch
    It is the market. Crawford was a bad signing from the beginning because his game was all legs. You never sign a guy who steals 70 bases to a long term deal crossing their 30s unless they can do something more than steal bases. Once Crawford's legs went, he was done
  19. jacksonianmarch
    Now listen, beyond Volpe and Dominguez, everyone is on the table. We are at an apex point for this run that started in 17. We are now 5 years complete on our return to prominence after the lost in the woods years of 13-16 (I know they made a wild card play in, but we all knew they were not good enough). We have some big contracts that will need to be doled out (Judge being one) and if you go out and sign Seager and deal for another big player, you are all in. You've got maybe another 3-4 years of greatness from Cole at the top of the rotation. 40% of our rotation will be an FA after 22 with a third member possibly going that route if the Yanks decline the option (Sevy). You maximize 22-24 as the three years on top of the mountain, exceed all caps, deal with all penalties before you start breaking it down. You gotta win a title here and there is zero excuse for skimping at all.

    I am seeing that nowhere, BUT, it wouldnt surprise me at all. Oakland is all about value. If Voit can recover his value in 22, he will be dealt by 23 and they'll get value. Garcia would be a tougher loss, IMO. His mechanics failed him this year and maybe he has the yips now, but his stuff is superb. Not overly fast, but movement galore and enormous strikeouts for a kid his age. He would turn into something nasty in Oakland, might even become a CY candidate. Wells isnt a big loss since he isnt really a catcher long term. But he is one of the few big power guys we have in the minors. Peraza would be the "prize" return, but honestly think the others in the deal have higher upsides.

    Xander is not gonna sign a home town discount again. Honestly, see what Seager signs for. Seager is not a defensive whiz in his own right but is a very similar offensive producer and a proven winner.
  22. jacksonianmarch
    Maybe it nets you a couple prospects you could add to a top tier prospect and get yourself a starter. I think Bloom knows he caught lightning in a bottle with Renfroe and will look to sell high
  23. jacksonianmarch
    I think Renfroe gets dealt and the sox use the prospect haul to acquire a starter. Without Renfroe, you've got your CF and RF set. It isn't difficult to find a JAG LFer who can swing the stick a bit.
  24. jacksonianmarch
    I am expecting the Yanks to trade for a CFer as well. Reynolds makes sense and as with Taillon, the Pirates value different credentials than the ranking systems do.
  25. jacksonianmarch
    Depends on where you are in the contention cycle. I expect the Yanks to make a massive push towards a title while overhauling their offense. I do not think you can rely on Urshela to be a solid contributor. Now, if you have him as a utility guy, someone gets hurt and he kicks ass, awesome.
