    Only two weeks left of the fantasy regular season, and only one playoff spot remaining. I can't tell if this season has flown by or dragged on.

    Montas has looked pretty terrible, but I'm not ready to say he's the next Sonny Gray. If he still looks like dogshit in September then I might change my mind.
  3. bkzwhitestrican
    Just wait until Harrison Bader can walk again, then the trade will really pay off!

    The Jays have been sucking just as much as the Yanks, I wonder who will suck less this series
  5. bkzwhitestrican
    Or you can look at it as the Yankees getting their s***** play out of their system at the right time
  6. bkzwhitestrican
    At least you have 2023 to look forward to with the Sox, they might even be able to finish 4th in the division.

    Now is the time to re-extend him, while his value is low
  8. bkzwhitestrican
    He had already cooled off (3 for his last 16, only 1 HR in his last 13 games after 14 in the previous 34 games) so it's not as huge a loss as it would seem. Stanton will be an upgrade at DH when he returns (hopefully by this weekend). But the 2 months he put together during his time can't be undone, and what a 2 months it was: .305/.412/.727 (OPS of 1.138, 2.3 WAR, 216 wRC) with 15 HRs and 37 RBIs over 154 PAs. Pretty good for random pickup.

    Nope, the app and season are going swimmingly for me

    Forgot there was a day game today, guess that was a good thing... I don't think there's any "ace" that gets lit up as often as Cole.
  11. bkzwhitestrican
    I get why though. He has a hard time staying healthy for an extended period of time, and with the Yankees' command of the division the priority should be making sure he's ready for the playoffs.

    This would have made sense if they were following it up with a trade for Rodon or Syndergaard. But I don't see any follow up trade and the deadline has passed, so my question is why? They traded pretty much all of the starters in the minors who could be depth for this season (Waldichuk, Wesneski, Sears), and then traded away their 5th best starter so that now German will be forced to start for the rest of the season. If someone goes down then who gets called up? Maybe this is part of a bigger picture that I can't see, but it's definitely befuddling.

    Only took Boston 104 games to get a first baseman.
  14. bkzwhitestrican
    Seems weird to me that the Dodgers would want him, considering that Gallo is a headcase and the LA market is just as big as NY
  15. bkzwhitestrican
    Probably an overpay by the Yanks, but they really needed bullpen help so it makes sense.
  16. bkzwhitestrican
    I think defensive metrics in general aren't too reliable. It has Judge as a negative defender this year despite outstanding play. Based on the eye test Benintendi seems like an arrive average OFer.
  17. bkzwhitestrican
    Depends where on Fangraphs you look. His dWAR is -2.5 but his UZR/150 is 11.5 (3rd among all outfielders). He also hasn't committed an error this season, and won a gold glove last season. I won't claim that he's a top 3 defensive OFer in baseball since I remember him having a pretty weak arm, but to claim he's a minus is just a bad opinion (in my opinion). He's clearly at least an above average fielder and hitter. Can't speak for his baserunning though, but it can't be worse than Gallo since he's never on base.
  18. bkzwhitestrican
    Yanks reportedly traded for Benintendi. No word yet on who they gave up.
  19. bkzwhitestrican
    With the way inflation is going, $30M 16 years from now will only be worth a few bags of Skittles. But yes I'd 100% take Soto's 16 years over Judge's 8. At age 23, you could expect somewhere in the range of 7-9 years of him playing through his prime. Whereas Judge at 30 years old, this year is probably his peak performance and he may only have another couple of high caliber seasons left.
  20. bkzwhitestrican
    True, but I'd much prefer to sign Soto to a long term deal over Judge
  21. bkzwhitestrican
    If trading him would help the Yanks get someone like Soto or Castillo then I'm 100% on board. Same with Volpe. The odds of any prospect developing into someone as good as Soto is about 0.001%
  22. bkzwhitestrican
    That was quite the blooper reel for just half a month. Reminded of the Yanks from last season.
  23. bkzwhitestrican
    He was definitely overhyped at signing but he is a legit top 50 prospect in baseball. He just got moved up to High A at only 19 years old, and has hit .272/.379/.450 with 21 steals between both leagues despite his age and relatively few pro innings under his belt.
  24. bkzwhitestrican
    And Loaisaga has been awful. Didn't see that coming after how dominant he's been.
  25. bkzwhitestrican
    I think Schmidt would already be up if the MLB didn't impose a limit on the amount of times a player can be recalled in a year. I don't remember the exact number, but once a player reaches it he gets exposed to waivers.
