  1. Was he batting lefthanded?
  2. Scarecrow Tilly got hissself in quite dah pickle!
  3. No. I don't.
  4. Make it threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  5. Oh, come on. Why would that stop you?
  6. Which player did he remind you of that day? Carlton Fisk, James Loney or Joey Votto?
  7. We stop there? He could be traded after the deadline if he clears waivers.
  8. How are they blocked? We could use a third baseman and a starting pitcher right now. Bud Norris isn't even good, why would we give up multiple top 50 prospects in order to acquire him?
  9. Middlebrooks has had four multi-hit games on a row, it doesn't look like his plate approach has improved at all though.
  10. Oh my god, no. No way in hell we'd give up two top 100 prospects for the Astros castoffs.
  11. I'm not arguing what the Yankees will do. I've already said I thought they should trade Cano but they were probably too stupid to do it. And I seem to remember you agreeing with me on Cano. They could also consider trading David Robertson and Brett Gardner since they'll be free agents after next year and the chances of the Yankees fielding a competitive team and staying under the luxury tax threshold are pretty low. But they won't do that either. It's just not the "Yankee way", and for that I love them. It's going to be an enjoyable few years watching them flounder.
  12. Skill definitely factors in to it, but there's a reason baseball seasons are 162 games long. In small sample sizes like 1, 5 or 7 game series pretty much anything can happen.
  13. Cano, Hughes, Logan and Chamberlain. Kuroda has a no-trade, which is unfortunate for them.
  14. The playoffs are a crapshoot. The problem for the Yankees is that they currently have something like a 13% chance of making the playoffs and they're giving up prospects, hurting their draft position and passing up a chance to acquire a ton of quality prospects by being buyers.
  15. Bradley's not as fast as Ellsbury, but he's still pretty damn fast. Defensively, he's better. On the basepaths, I expect there to be a learning curve just like there was with Ellsbury.
  16. He's been throwing 2+ times a week for the last two months. He's probably ready from a conditioning perspective, it's a matter of how close he is from a developmental perspective. He seems like a guy who won't be ready developmentally until next year. By the time he gets his feet wet in the minors it will be September, and I don't think we're going to throw a guy in to the playoffs who has five major league starts. That said, we'd be stupid not to try to sign him if he's close to major league ready. He supposedly had great stuff and he won't count against our international free agent signing money.
  17. I knew you were lying about having me on ignore. I'm a must read.
  18. Cubs have been trying to trade Kevin Gregg for weeks. The Cubs actually have a lot of players who could be helpful for us, including Ransom, Valbuena, Russell, Parker and Gurrier.
  19. Black, he was ranked 12th in the Yankees system. I haven't seen Whitley listed in any rankings outside of the honorable mention section.
  20. Michael Young sucks, his bad defense outweighs his average offensive production. I was thinking more like Cody Ransom, Luis Valbuena or Placido Polanco.
  21. Sean Coyle and Mookie Betts might interest other teams, they're legit prospects but they play second base. We don't need two second base prospects to back up Pedroia.
