    We'll trade you Leon, Hembree & Nunez for Torres.
  2. moonslav59
    Fighting for his job.
  3. moonslav59
    Just as I predicted, when I said I was glad the Yankees got him.
  4. moonslav59
    The yankee pen is worse than ours right now
  5. moonslav59
    Better said than I. Of course, if Vaz sucks in September, then my mind can easily be changed.
  6. moonslav59
    They just started getting paid big money, so the jury is still out. Not off to a great start, though.
  7. moonslav59
    If he keeps struggling, his level going forward may not be "reality". The point is, if we need to pay him $19M x 5 years to keep him, he may not return that value. We could use the $95M to sign a younger closer or a couple top set-up men. I'm not saying I'd prefer that, but it is all speculation, at this point. I'd love to have Kimbrel back, but paying any closer 1/11th or 1/12th of your payroll budget is not something I would like doing.
  8. moonslav59
    The big question is, will we go into the 7th or 8th with just a handful of hits and no runs again, then explode, or will we explode early and often?
  9. moonslav59
    LOL! He'll be nearing .800 by October!
  10. moonslav59
    This stretch of decent hitting has been one of his longest and steadiest in his MLB career, but your point is well-taken.
  11. moonslav59
    Or, ahhemmmmmm, he likes our prospects.
  12. moonslav59
    I'm adding Vaz and Devers to what we have currently to make 14 everyday players.
  13. moonslav59
    To PH for whom? Only our catchers need PH'ing for, unless you do a 1B swap with Moreland-Pearce when they switch handed pitchers.
  14. moonslav59
    I don't see Swihart starting a playoff game. We can PH Moreland or Peacr for Leon/Vaz and then PH Swihart later in the game and leave him as the catcher, if needed. If they plan on starting Swihart, then carrying 3 catchers makes little sense. As for the 12th pitcher, since we will be coming off 5 off days, I think we don't have to worry about using RP'ers two days in a row, especially since there's another day off after game 2. I suppose we could use 7 RP'ers in game 1 or 3, but there's a better chance we'll need to PH for Leon or Vaz.
  15. moonslav59
    We actually do have hitters to PH for, and both are catchers. That's why 3 catchers would be more helpful than the 12th pitcher.
  16. moonslav59
    Thanks. I made a similar list of DD's prspect trades over his time here. It is way more than Cashman's- no doubt. My comment was meant to show I hope Cashman catches up in this area, and your farm is nearly emptied.
  17. moonslav59
    Can you list the rankings of all Yankee prospects traded since last year?
  18. moonslav59
    I'm not saying it was a bad trade. I loved the Sale trade, too, but I recognized several trades like this brings on a cliff. (I also mentioned more would have to be made for the yanks to equal our cliff.)
  19. moonslav59
    No, I most likely will say it this winter and even more likely after Moreland's deal runs out after 2019, depending on his improvement or lack there of. He's more likely to flub up at 3B than 1B, but he will need time to learn 1B, something I'm not sure he'll get this winter or next spring.
  20. moonslav59
    He's actually been a pretty consistent .749 since 2015. It's the injuries and missed time that has hurt him.
  21. moonslav59
    Plus, you have made several trades this season... not just 23 & 25.
  22. moonslav59
    All year, we heard how great and deep this farm was, now 23 & 25 suck. Got it.
  23. moonslav59
    We also do not want him to have suffer, at his age, what Buckner went through as a polished vet.
  24. moonslav59
    Devers has some big hits in his short career. He even has 16 HRs in just 389 ABs this year. No doubt, he has had struggles. We all talked about expecting a learning curve for a kid this young. I expected worse on defense and better on offense, but he was thrust into a high pressure situation at a very young age. Let's have patience and keep Nunez in the role he was meant to have- high AB back-up. ISO: .180 Devers (.187 career) .123 Nunez .103 Holt
  25. moonslav59
    Can I ask why nearly everyone is putting 12 pitchers on the playoff roster, when we play 5 games in a 13 day window? 4 starters Why 8 RP'ers when we will be starting the series with 5 days off, playing 2 games- one off- 2 games- one off and 1 game (if needed)? We will likely have 1-2 long men to eat up middle innings, if needed. My guess is we keep 1-2 from Eovaldi, Johnson & Velazquez and Barnes and Hembree can go more than 1 IP, if needed.
