    Ight I'm ready for fantasy baseball
  2. bkzwhitestrican
    There's still like 4 months of offseason left. You can almost guarantee the roster will different by the time ST starts
  3. bkzwhitestrican
    Not a bad move. He's a high injury risk but could be a legit starter.

    I'd like the Yankees to get Seager but from what I'm reading it seems like a less than 10% chance he ends up with the Yanks. That being the case, I'd just like a capable shortstop who can also hit regardless of which side of the plate he stands on. Story fits that mold and theoretically shouldn't cost as much as everyone else. Lefties at other positions such as first base or OF are easier to come by. Joc Pederson could be had for pretty cheap. Or they could go big and sign Freddie Freeman. Point is that the SS doesn't have to be lefty.

    There's still a lot of quality FAs left. Looking at the deals that were given out, there aren't any that I'd say the Yanks missed out on. Sure I'd like Scherzer but that price was crazy high. Correa is probably the best remaining player who fills the biggest need for the Yanks, but the guy is a douche. Maybe the Yanks can get Story on a cheaper deal and I'd be okay with that. Also Seiya Suzuki from Japan has an interesting profile and seems like he has a good chance for success in the MLB so I'd be cool with going after him, though corner OF isn't high on the list of needs. I'm sure Cashman will splurge on something, hopefully it's not a long term deal with Rizzo.

    I guess they had to settle for Wacha after missing out on Heaney.
  7. bkzwhitestrican
    Yeah, besides his speed there's nothing special about him. But he's a good defender who plays multiple positions, and when he played regularly he actually looked like a decent player.
  8. bkzwhitestrican
    Mildly surprised that they got rid of Wade. Maybe some team will play him everyday and he'll end up being decent.
  9. bkzwhitestrican
    Not sure that would help his HRs though since he hits so many line drives (as evidenced by the 3 line drives he hit during the WC game that would have been HRs in YS).

    Not cheap, but maybe frugal is a better word. He sets a budget and adheres to it. The lone advantage the Yankees have over every other org (besides maybe Boston and LA) is their huge market and the amount of money they bring in, and since there is no salary cap they could conceivably field a team of all-stars. Now I'm not suggesting that they need to do that, but to see us trading away real prospects and useful pieces at the trade deadline just to have other teams eat like an extra $1M is irritating. If they did that to reset the luxury tax penalty then that means this season they should be spending to win. We'll see.
  11. bkzwhitestrican
    They must think they can unlock some hidden potential, otherwise I don't know how he is worth more than like $3M.

    The best team doesn't always win, but the one that plays the best when it matters does. Good for the Braves. And f*** the Astros.
  13. bkzwhitestrican
    f*** the Astros. Astros in 5.
  14. bkzwhitestrican
    Everyone wants to feel like they're a victim nowadays. You're right, it's a sick mentality that I'm seeing more and more of (not just in relation to the Astros). Hope they get swept, but my gut is telling me they'll win in 5.
  15. bkzwhitestrican
    Welcome to the eliminated club. I don't think there are enough hours to watch all of the Yankees Classics in one offseason.

    In my opinion everything in the Yankees organization starts from the top down. It's obvious that the new Steinbrenners' main goal isn't winning, but rather finding the most cost effective way to keep fans watching the games and paying for tickets/merch. That then filters down to Cashman trying to put together the most cost effective and marketable team rather than the team most likely to win, and hiring less qualified coaches because they're cheaper. The Yankees reset their luxury tax in 2021 and will most definitely be over the threshold in 2022, so by all means they should be big spenders this offseason. If they stand pat and continue to scrounge the garbage piles of players then that should tell us all we need to know about what's important to ownership.

    f***
  19. bkzwhitestrican
    That didn't happen (at least not yet). Don't be scaring us like that.
  20. bkzwhitestrican
    Good news: the Rays lost, f*** em Bad news: the Red sox won, f*** em

    I don't think injuries affected this year's team as much as prior years. Judge/Stanton/Cole were mostly healthy all year. We did have a lot of supporting players miss time but I think the underperformance of healthy players was the biggest issue (primarily DJ, Torres, Frazier, Gio). And Pyth record is a pointless stat so I don't think it proves anything. A team can win a single game by 20 runs and then lose the next 20 by 1 run, and Pyth record would suggest that they should be .500. The Yankees have had a highly ranked bullpen over the last decade and have won more close games because of it, so it would make sense for their expected Win% to be lower.
  22. bkzwhitestrican
    It was a disappointing season by our standards. But it's not like this was some s*** team. They underperformed and still won 92 games. Depending on what moves the team makes and progression/regression of players, this team could still come back next season and win 100 games. Or 80. Who knows. I'll probably be more inclined to speculate and dream on it in March.
  23. bkzwhitestrican
    Did they announce the attendance in that shitbox? Best team in the AL playing their rival in the playoffs and the place looks 75% empty.
  24. bkzwhitestrican
    Nestor would never do that to Bronxie. He'd at least make turtle soup out of him.
  25. bkzwhitestrican
    Well can still get 7 and a half hours of sleep. Hope I wake up to news of Boone being canned. Enjoy your win.
