    With a 26 man roster, a 2 man bench seems wrong. (I disliked it when they had 25 man rosters, but at times, 13 pitchers were needed.)
  2. moonslav59
    Agreed, but if he keep hitting like a maniac, he'll be up sooner than later.
  3. moonslav59
    But, I thought they said 13-13 for a bit...
  4. moonslav59
    That could be it, right there.
  5. moonslav59
    Agreed, but I'd still prefer at least slightly more games in CF for EHern than 2B. The Cordero-Renfroe platoon in LF looks real good, to me. Cordero can play extra (non-platoon) games in CF when EHern is at 2B, and Renfroe can play some non-platoon games in RF as Verdugo rests- giving Cordero a few games in LF (off-platoon).

    I had my yearly physical, and my doctor suggested I get the test done right there at the office, for free. I asked why I needed it, and he said it will let me know, if the vaccine worked. I thought it was strange, but it was just a pin prick on a finger, so I went with it.
  7. moonslav59
    We will finish above the #16 or #17 slot, and I'm hopeful we can end up top 12-15.
  8. moonslav59
    If this is the line-up with Vaz not Plawecki, I'd go with Arroyo and Chavis (not on 26 man roster) at 2B over Marwin. I'd also bump Dalbec up to the 6 or 7 slot.
  9. moonslav59
    I called him, the other day, and set him straight.
  10. moonslav59
    I'm probably Chavis's least supportive fan, but I thought this was the time to give him and extended look-see and determine, once and for all, if he's a keeper. I do still wonder what his trade value is. The BTV site has him valued very well. 8.9 EHern 7.6 ERod & Yorke 6.6 Chavis 6.0 Houck 5.4 Pivetta & Seabold 5.3 Ward 5.0 Lugo
  11. moonslav59
    Movin' on up!
  12. moonslav59
    Chavis was already called up and been around a couple years. He shouldn't count in this debate.
  13. moonslav59
    He said FT role.
  14. moonslav59
    That was the point of the data. Other teams have better top 4's and 5's, but the Yankee SP'er depth jumped them to 3rd. Let's see how much depth plays a role for the top teams and just how good the largely untested Yankee depth does in 2021- not to mention huge question marks like Kluber, Taillon & German.
  15. moonslav59
    I can't see anyone else besides Downs and Duran. Casas is a long shot. Munoz might have a better chance than Casas. If Downs can win the 2B job, EHern would likely squeeze Duran out of any chance at being FT, unless Renfroe/Cordero/Marwin flop. If Duran moves up, then EHern squeezes Down at 2B.

    I got an antibodies test last week, to see if my vaccine is working, and they nurse was not aware I had been vaccinated. She told me I had tested positive for antibodies. I said, "Is that good?" And she said it meant I had "had the virus at some point." When I told her I had both vaccines, she said, "Oh, I didn't know that. It means the vaccine worked."
  17. moonslav59
    Agreed, even on a min contract. Minor league deal, yes.
  18. moonslav59
    Doesn't that happen, if you had a vaccine?
  19. moonslav59
    fangraphs has the Yankee SP'ers ranked 3rd, too, but mostly on the strength of their depth. They are the only team with 7 pitchers over 1.1. 5.5 Cole 2.7 Kluber 2.1 Montgomery 1.9 Taillon 1.2 German 1.1 Garcia 1.9 Sevy 0.2 King 0.1 Schmidt (I think Kluber & Montgomery are high, but maybe King & Schmidt are too low.) Their top 4 (not counting Sevy) is 12.5/ Top 5 is 13.7 With Sevy: Top 4:12.5 / Top 5:14.1 Some teams below the Yanks: NYM: Top 4: 14.5 (deGrom, Stroman, Carrasco, Syndergaard, Walker) Top 5: 15.7 (+Peterson) Both better than NYY WSH: Top 4: 13.3 (Scherzer, Strasburg, Corbin, Letser 0.9) Top 5: 14.2 (+Ross) Both better than NYY CIN: Top 4: 10.7 (Castillo, Gray, Mahle, Miley) Top 5: 11.7 (+Lorenzen CWS: Top 4: 11.2 (Giolito, Keuchel, Lynn, Cease Top 5: 12.1 (+Rodon) ATL: Top 4: 9.9 (Morton, Fried, Soroka, Anderson) Top 5: 11.3 (+Smyly) The Sox are ranked 15th: 2.6 ERod 2.3 Sale 1.9 Eovaldi 1.4 Richards 1.3 Perez 0.7 Pivetta 0.5 Houck 0.3 Seabold Top 4: 7.2 Top 5: 7.9

    I was being sarcastic, but they don't look too impressive.

    Rangers DFA Roughed Odor and may eat $27M. Could the Sox grab him after he clears waivers? Ex Sox news: Chatham & Lucroy released. Buttrey optioned to alt site. Angels sign Noe Ramirez.
  22. moonslav59
    Wilson & Britton start out on the IL. Taillon pushed back to 6th game. Voit goes under the knife, tonight. Wade (career .575 hitter), King (career 7.04 ERA) & Nick Nelson (1.500 career WHIP and 4.71 ERA in AAA) make the roster. I can see why Yankee fans love their great depth.
  23. moonslav59
    I can't believe we are this close!
  24. moonslav59
    He did go 3 for 7 with an HR in the 2019 playoffs, plus... 2018: AUG: .987 SEP: .968 2020: JULY .655 AUG .621 SEP .778 He had 2 HRs, a dbl and 2 singles with 4 RBI in 28 playoff ABs in 2020. (He also walked twice.)
  25. moonslav59
    The Marwin, Kike and JD show! Houck with a solid 4 IP. Maybe the recent gloomy news can be brightened up a bit.
