  1. Teams weren't willing to take a chance on him 2 seasons ago because they thought he could get jail time and/or a year long suspension. Had teams known that he would only get a one month suspension, I'm sure more teams would have been interested, and the asking price would have been much higher than the bag of peanuts that the Yanks traded away for him. Don't get me wrong, Chapman is a scumbag. But he is a scumbag who was not found guilty of any crimes who can throw 103 MPH. Given the chance, I don't believe a single team would take the moral high ground and refuse to sign him (at the right price).
  2. I was thinking after this season. But now works too.
  3. It's way too early to write off Carter. He probably won't get any significant playing time unless Bird/Holliday get hurt, but if he gets a chance to play consistently I think we'll see his massive power and strike out prowess. As for Austin, he was put on the 60 day DL so he won't be a factor for awhile.
  4. We need these wins now because the schedule is going to get a lot tougher. After this series, the Yanks play the Pirates, the good Sox, the O's, Jays, Cubs, and Astros. If they get through that stretch above .500 then I will be thoroughly impressed. But with that said, right now they're doing what good teams do --- beat down lousy teams.
  5. Our season is over. Time to sell for prospects!
  6. Just wait! This is the year ellsbury returns to form! But I'd settle for .275 15HRs 30SBs
  7. Been awhile since I've been this excited for a youngster on the Yankees (Cano was probably the last one). No way he keeps hitting at this pace, but Sanchez sure is fun to watch.
  8. Is Kaprielian done for the year? Would be nice if he could give them a late season boost but again I don't know his status. Not sure if they have any other big league ready starters to bring up. Maybe Acevedo or Chance? Or maybe they can stretch out Cessa. Should be interesting how they address the final rotation spot.
  9. Yeah you're right, i guess old man Jeter is the image of him stuck in my head. But he did have a cannon in his prime.
  10. Jeter didn't have the arm to play 3rd. But in any case, it's annoying that we now have to pretend that Arod isn't the biggest douche in baseball because he's retiring. What's even worse is that we still have to hear about him through next year because he's going to be advising (aka doing jack s***) for us. He was a great player and he helped bring home the bacon ONE year. Thanks and good riddance.
  11. I'd say Girardi is doing the Red Sox dirty by not starting ARod at 3rd. The guy can't move laterally, how can he play the field.
  12. Are they ever going to announce the players we received in the Nova trade? I'm sure we didn't get a top prospect but I still wanna know dammit.
  13. Have the Yankees announced who they're calling up? Haven't heard anything. Whoever it is will probably just be a placeholder for Judge anyway.
  14. So now that the bullpen is no longer the Yankees' strength, what is? I'd go with the stadium vendor who sells cheesesteaks AND garlic parm fries.
  15. Next they should trade Beltran for some prospects. Then package all of these kids plus whoever they can muster into a deal for Chris Sale. This is a retooling not a rebuild!
  16. 2 games over .500 now They should probably sell but it won't happen if they keep winning. I'm torn.
