Besides the Marlins fire sale last month, this has been the most boring offseason that I can remember.
-
That'll never happen. Bank of America is the official bank of the Yankees, not Chase.

I agree that I'd want Andujar to get a chance. But Nunez is essentially the same player as Andujar (in terms of strengths/weaknesses), a pure hitting infielder with questionable fielding skills. I don't think you can have both of those guys on the 25 man roster. I doubt Toe is going anywhere, and Torres is almost certainly gonna start the season in AAA. So that leaves Toe, Wade, Andujar, and whoever else the Yankees add to field 2 starting spots and one utility role on the 25 man roster. If the Yankees sign Nunez then I think Andujar gets left off of the 25.. but if they sign a glove-first infielder, I think Andujar gets a spot and Wade is sent to AAA. This is all just speculation though, for all we know Cash will swing a trade for Machado this week and make us all look like fools.

I'd rather get a sure glove guy as a veteran infielder than Nunez. I haven't seen Andujar play too much, but I have seen plenty of Nunez and I don't think he would be much of a defensive upgrade over Andujar. I'd be cool with Kendrick or Josh Harrison (although the price is probably too high for him) or Todd Frazier or Lowrie or heck even Stephen Drew. Then you can rotate some combo of Player A/Toe/Torres,Wade,Andujar and have them bat 8th & 9th.

What was his fWAR by season? Just curious.
-
Even though he actually won a Cy Young, thinking of Porcello as a CY caliber pitcher makes me chuckle.
-
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like McCutchen and Cole are overrated. Cutch did have a bounce back season last year but it's still not close to the production he put up in 2014/15.. and I feel like his current reputation as a top player has been riding off of his past greatness. As for Cole, the guy just scares me. And not in a good "oh dayyumm he nastyy" kinda way. There are just a lot of red flags around the guy and he's coming off of a mediocre year. I would maybe say "buy low" but if Gleyber Torres is low, then go $%^* yourself Pittsburgh.
-
I think we still need a veteran infielder. Torres will probably start the year in AAA (because of service time) and I would prefer not to have two of Wade/Toe/Andujar in the lineup at the same time. Maybe try to snag Jed Lowrie? As for the starters I'm fine with the current rotation with Adams as the 6th. Would Cole make us better? Yeah, but I don't think by that much. He could be the next Pineda, dominant stuff that does not translate into real production.
-
I was being jocular. A Yankees fan starting a thread on the Red Sox board about the shortcomings of the Red Sox.. why stop there??
-
Good thread. Jacko, next we should start one about the Yankees tremendous depth. And then one about how the Yankees have already locked up the East until 2020
-
I think we lose Gomez for good. Everyone else likely comes back by end of Spring Training. Cortes is Vidal Nuno 2.0, Ford is a Billy Beane kinda guy who walks a ton but doesn't do any one thing particularly impressive, and Mesa is an oft injured prospect with some potential. Maybe Mesa doesn't return.. but not really any great losses here.
-
Yanks are reportedly interest in Brandon Drury as well. Maybe a deal for Corbin/Drury or Greinke/Drury? That would be pretty sweet.
-
Mitchell will slot in as the #2 starter on that crap team.
-
Guzman is still at least 2 years away, but he is a legit prospect. Only guy in the minors with an 80 rating fastball
-
Okay I get those points. But then you could dissect Boston's rotation just as easily using the same logic. Sale was great the first two thirds of the season but then turned into a pretty mediocre starter down the stretch, what if that carries into this season? Pomeranz was good but the guy usually can't pitch past 5 innings. Price has had some injury history since joining Boston but even when healthy, he has looked more like a 3/4 than an ace. Rick Porcello is a pile of trash that once won a Cy Young. E Rod has shown flashes but ultimately has been a disappointment to date. Wright is a knuckleballer so who the hell knows what he'll look like when he returns. See how easy it was to point out negatives and worst case scenarios?
-
I knew Jeter was still working for us
-
Stanton won't command numerous top 10 prospects for the fact that he comes with a $300M price tag. And I think signing Harper/Machado would result in losing a first round pick, which is essentially a top prospect. So to answer your question, yes the Yankees should sign all three!
-
Cashman resigned. Priority #1, GET STANTON
-
I'd still sign CC. One year deal of course. Someone is bound to get hurt during the year or will need a breather, and Adams/Sheffield can fill in. Of course there's still Cessa (meh) and Caleb Smith (yuck) plus the rumblings of Chad Green being turned back into a starter. So there's plenty of options.
-
Great WS so far. Yankees being there would have made it even better, but in all likelihood we would have probably lost 4-2 by now.
-
I'd like to see A-Rod manage just because it would make him the most interesting (and douchey) manager in baseball. I could see him doing really well or completely s***ing the bed.
-
Watch us hire Farrell......
-
I love the offseason. Nobody's hopes and theories and predictions for the next season can be disproved so they all flow without restrain, like a butt missing a sphincter.
-
Baseball is stupid

Don't worry, soon Planet X will reveal itself and put us all out of our misery. Seriously. NASA says there's likely another planet lurking out there.
