    Okay, we have 10-12 MLB ready prospects and 2-3 that just graduated (Bello, Crawford, Wong & Wink.) BAL does have a much better farm than ours, but they also lost their "clubhouse leader" in Mancini and a key pen arm- I forget his name.
  2. moonslav59
    I guess they don't view Enmanuel Valdez as the LHB IF'er.
  3. moonslav59
    Although BTV has Arroyo with negative value, I think we could get a non 40 man roster prospect for him. I like the trade suggested. I'd rather see us trade Duran, Murphy, Bonaci and Dalbec for Rojas and Berti. (or, Duran, Jordan and Murphy.) I guess Berti is not a very good defensive RF'er, but he gets on base, a lot and can play the IF, so Arroyo could be traded... perhaps in this trade, if MIA wants him.
  4. moonslav59
    I think Duran is grossly over-valued on BTV. I'd gladly do that trade and then Murphy for Michael A Taylor. I'd even give Duran and Murphy for 1 year of Rojas. i know Duran still has promise, but I'm pretty much done hoping for him to break out.
  5. moonslav59
    It would have in '22, because Dalbec sucked and they could have player Schwarber there. My point wasn't about it being right or wrong- just that the arguments were similar- finding playing time for 3 guys at 2 positions.
  6. moonslav59
    I think someone offered to pay the whole remaining salary. He should have taken that for a low A ball player. To me, this was a blunder, but I understand why others think otherwise, and some reasons why they said no, assuming the report was true.
  7. moonslav59
    Segura signs for $17M/2 with Marlins. I wonder if that Wendle trade with the Sox just became more likely. Chisholm is expected to be moved to SS, so it looks like Rojas might be a trade candidate. I'd rather get Rojas for a year than Wendle. Also, the Braves get Luetge from Yanks for 2 minor leaguers.

    Assuming no more additions, despite having about $28M to spend and be under the tax line, here might be our opening day 26 man roster: 1. L Yoshida LF 2. R Story SS 3. L Devers 3B 4. R Turner DH 5. L Casas 1B 6. R Kike CF 7. L Verdugo RF 8. R Arroyo 2B 9. L McGuire C Bench: R Wong C R Refsnyder OF L E Valdez 2B L Duran LF or R Dalbec 1B/3B SP1 Sale SP2 Kluber SP3 Whitlock SP4 Bello SP5 Pivetta SP6 Paxton RP1 Jansen RP2 Martin RP3 Houck RP4 Schreiber RP5 Barnes RP6 Joely RP7 Mills RP8 Crawford or Brasier Farm Depth/ ML ready C R Hernandez (not on 40) 1B Crook (not on 40) 2B Hamilton SS Goodrum (not on 40) 3B Koss (not on 40) LF Duran CF Rafaela (SS) RF Abreu DH Grandberg (not on 40) P Taylor, Mata, Crawford, Walter, Winckowski, Murphy, Seabold, Kelly, German, Ort, DHern (not on 40) Santos, Feltman, Shugart, Thompson, Drohan, Fernandez

    10 people convicted of trying to kill Big Papi. This was that incident back in 2019. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/10-convicted-2019-david-ortiz-attempted-killing_n_63acc85ee4b0fe267ca65937

    None are for longer than 2 years, so they can be viewed as bridges to some younger players or bridges to the next bridges. Some may end up being traded for prospects at the deadline, if we end up doing as poorly as many seem to think we will do.
  11. moonslav59
    What has BAL done to get better?
  12. moonslav59
    Then, no.
  13. moonslav59
    To play SS?
  14. moonslav59
    Correct. That's a tight squeeze but doable.
  15. moonslav59
    BTV and SSs Value 9.6 A Rosario (1 yr) 5.9 M Rojas (1 yr) 3.2 J Mateo (3 yrs) Sox 8.7 Romero 8.0 Yorke 6.7 Dugo 6.5 Anthony & Coffey 5.9 Duran 5.6 Lugo & Walter 5.0 Jordan & Paulino 3.7 Mata & Murphy 2.8 Seabold & McDonough 2.6 Wink & Bonaci 2.4 Hamilton & Taylor 2.1 Jimenez & Abreu
  16. moonslav59
    Is anybody against us signing Andrus or even Iggy or trading a Chris Murphy or the like for a Mateo or maybe even Rojas, or a tiny bit more for A Rosario?
  17. moonslav59
    We have enough players valued between 2.8 and 3.5.
  18. moonslav59
    The Yanks can reset in 3 years. 2023, 2024 and reset in 2025. No Donaldson, Rizzo and Severino, Torres and Montas. Maybe, they won't but the penalties are too great, if they don't. I'd almost rather they don't reset. The Mets are in a class all by themselves.
  19. moonslav59
    I was talking about the conversation before you said they were better off moneywise. Yes, they were more prepared to spend big, now. I get it. You are right. I was relating it to better off going forward, like I thought the discussion was about. That's why I said, "My bad."
  20. moonslav59
    Okay, I thought the conversation was about how the Yanks were or were not better off "moneywise," after the Judge signing. My bad.
  21. moonslav59
    Yes, when it is made, when it is "finalized" and when it is announced to the public.
  22. moonslav59
    That wasn't the point being discussed, but your diversions are expected. If no moves are made, I think many agree it's going to be Arroyo at 2B and Story at SS, but that's a different topic. I can't see Story at SS, Kike at 2B and Refsnyder in CF winning a plurality of votes. If Arroyo or Ref batted lefty, maybe some sort of complex platoon at CF & 2B could occur with Kike playing CF or 2B depending on a lefty or righty starter, but it just makes more sense for us to add a SS. Trading for one of the 3-4 discussed here won't even cost a top 10 or 20 prospect. Signing Andrus still leaves us way below the tax line. It makes too much sense, so I'm not surprised you like Story at SS.
  23. moonslav59
    No, with aging pitchers... no wait...
  24. moonslav59
    BTV accepted and both sides have majority approval by contributors to the site in these two trades: Chris Murphy for Jorge Mateo Chris Murphy for Michael A Taylor If we do both trades quickly enough, maybe we can pull it off and get Mateo and Taylor.
  25. moonslav59
    I know it's hard to believe, but the Yankees have proven to care about their budget, since the George era. If you want to hear rants about failure to spend on a team, go outside your bubble and read some past Yankee blogs. The Yanks will reset within 3 years: book it. Even the Dodgers are resetting, as we speak.
