The cool aid acid test for him comes when they start pitching him inside consistently. His lack of courage will alter his swing and mess up his timing and the next thing you know, it is a two month trip to slumpsville!
-
Watching brewer throw is a form of torture. When his control is on, he is decent. When his control is off, he is a train wreck. We need to keep chavis at Pawtucket this year. If he has a good year, we can bring him up next year after Moreland, Pearce and Nunez move on.

Oscar hernandez had a terribly mechanical swing. If he gets s base hit, it will be more luck than skill,
-
#55 pitching for the Yankees has some really nice stuff. Control looks a bit spotty.

So sad! Rest In Peace, you will be missed! -
1.) that is a lot of cheese for sale. The Sox do know that his shoulder is held together with duct tape and chewing gum, right? 2.) why is bogey being resigned?
-
I still believe Larry was 100 percent responsible for us signing sandavol and Hanley. But i believe it was Ben who drew the line in the sand on paying Lester. Henry is admitting he should not have listened to Ben. I do not know who is holding the leash on desperate Dave, but someone is keeping him from signing kimbrel.

We could get swihart more playing time by trading Vazquez, hernandez dalbec and chavis to Texas for Lequerc. Positives: Solves our closer hole and opens up playing time for swihart. Negatives: our starting pitchers will be depressed!
-
It is really hard to get into sync at the plate unless you see pitches regularly. Not impossible, just harder.
-
Agreed. My goal this spring is to watch pedrioa and sale extra closely and see if there are red flags.
-
Watched the video of pedrioa taking batting practice today. I was not as concerned about timing and squaring up pitches as I was how much torque he put on the knee. Bottom line: he is not 100 percent, the step and turn are still mechanical, but light years ahead of last year.
-
Our pitchers appear to love throwing to Vazquez and Leon. Why mess with a pitchers head? We already have substandard defense in most of the infield, why put swihart behind the dish and make that a defensive black hole as well? A happy pitcher is a good thing for our team.

Do you get the feeling kimbrel wants to come back and his agent is trying to squeeze a few more dollars and years out of desperate Dave?

Media says pedrioa looked pretty good taking grounders. Maybe his knee can hold up and we get 100 or so games out of him. Can’t wait to see if the bat returns.

As you get older and older, you realize how hard it is to find young people to hire that have anything resembling a lick of sense, are not the definition of lazy, are not totally lacking in independent thought and are not under qualified to work in fast food!

Really interested to see how pedrioa does on that knee. He might have been able to contribute late last year, but he lacked patience and rushed his rehab and paid the price, It would be a huge boost if he is back and healthy all year. His defense is above average and if we can get the league average for second basemen offense out of him, that is a win for us. I would love to see Devers make a leap. He has such a nice swing. I don’t care if the defense is not league average. Time for Rodriguez to stay healthy and make monster leap. His talent is undeniable. Now is the year to put it all together.

1.) feltman is the real deal. I saw him pitch live for tcu and for Greenville. No doubt in my mind, he is already top 3 in ability to get hitters out when compared to the current group of relievers we have. 2.) Hernandez should be in the pen. Again he could contribute in 2019. 3.) Henry is nuts to not be all in on the 2019 season by not bringing kimbrel back. Why let a few dollars stand between us and another duck boat parade.
-
He and Bradley are gamecocks!!!
-
This dudes needs to drink plenty of Gatorade because before every game this year, he is going to have to pee in the cup.
-
I think there are two issues working against Kimbrel. 1.) control issues in 2018 that escalated during the playoffs. Stats guys see that as a red flag. 2.) ridiculous contract demands. I wonder how much the control issues are affecting our decision to not sign kimbrel?
-
So, why would any of the other 29 teams give up more than a bucket of used baseballs for any of our three catchers?
-
There is more than just Atlanta and San Diego. Toronto has two diamonds in the kids of former major leaguers. The astros have two mega monsters in Whitley and Tucker. Someone publication just ranked our minor league system dead last! Welcome to the bottom of the barrel.
-
We have a chance to go back to back! This is insane that we are worried about the 40 million dollar threshold when this team has a fantastic chance to repeat! We have brought back 23 of 25 guys and could potentially get the 24th, but desperate Dave is firmly entrenched as a Wal-Mart greeter while thinking about heading over to the dollar tree for a reliever or two. Dave, please strap on that depends diaper, man up and call kimbrel’s agent. We need a closer!

On every level of the Yankees minor league system there is at least a pitcher or two with really impressive stuff. I don’t know how many of these guys will develop and I am sure a couple will end up in the pen. But the bottom line is the Yankees have more guys with better stuff in “a” ball then we have in our entire system,
