There is no difference in the win loss record if the Yankees win a game 8 to 6 or 11 to 6. With better pitching, we can beat the stacked Yankees lineup 5 to 4. But we need more pitching.
-
Congrats to the Yankees. They got the premier power bat in all of baseball for Castro and a bunch of tier 2 minor leaguers. For the record, I was never on suicide watch when it came to trading for Stanton. Same for signing Martinez, as I am scared of the frequent trips to the dl. And I am not really interested in either royals infielder. I am all for signing more pitching. A solid starter and two solid lefty relievers. For first base I prefer Matt Adams, but would settle for a return of Moreland.
-
Amen brother!
-
No we need more pitching! There are some decent arms out there and desperate dave’s Job is to sign a starter and two relievers.
-
Amen brother! They have done terribly run sports teams in that city.
-
Who do you think no will trade for pedroia?
-
The Dodgers could send puig and jock Pederson to Miami for Stanton.
-
Well said! I agree 100%.
-
Is this his second time with them?
-
He’s always been steaky because he gets pitched inside until he starts hitting inside pitches.
-
If I were the giants I would immediately reduce the package I was offering Miami. If I were the Dodgers I would offer Miami a bag of used baseballs and a couple broken bats for Stanton, If jeter wants out of that contract teams on the west coast need to make it painful!
-
Bradley missed a lot of his final year in college after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch. His hole in his swing was a fear of any inside pitches. It took him until last year to finally get over that fear. 2017 appeared to be a return of that fear.
-
I have to wonder if the major leagues is the best place for a 3rd baseman with defensive development issues. I have to think our pitchers are not all that overjoyed by it as well!!!!
-
if Stanton goes to the angels, they suddenly become a very scary team!
-
So desperate dave predicted that a 20 year old starting the year in double a was going to to make it to Boston and contribute to our team by August? Clearly I need to contact desperate dave so he can give me the winning power ball numbers for th next drawing.
-
Except for Fisk, no catcher has handled a pitching staff as well as varitek. Pitchers loved throwing to him and didn’t he catch something like 5 no hitters? Except for Fisk, no catcher in our history can compare to him! He was a perfect fit for our organization . And guess what, we got him in a trade and we did not overpay! Hint hint to desperate dave!!!!
-
Does he see more personal opportunity in new York than in Boston?
-
Congrats to the angels. This is a huge win for them, But they still have a ton of holes in their roster.
-
So dombrowski’s grand plan was to rely on two prospects that he rushed through the minor leagues? Isn’t that the definition of desperation!!!! Is desperate dave’s Plan to have a collection of 25 good players or is his plan to build an organization with chemistry and depth!
-
Desperate dave did not follow that strategy with Kimbrel, Thornburg or smith! Why would he start now,
-
I would argue that between sandavol, Hernandez, holt and marrero we had a lot of bodies, and a whole lot of hope and pray and what if’s as far a actual players go.
-
Wasn’t hannigan catching a knuckleballer?
-
Amen my brother! More pitching is the goal. We have very little depth and as of today having to hope a knuckleballer coming off surgery can step right in and produce from day one! Desperate dave must learn the value of depth!!! The hitting will bounce back with our existing crew if the walking wounded ever heal up and stay relatively healthy next year. Another reason desperate dave needs to learn the concept of depth. I know hindsight is 20/20 but putting your third base eggs in sandavol’s basket with Hernandez, holt and marrero as backups was beyond moronic. Ps: Santana needs to be off our list as he received a qo from the Guardians.
-
Latest reports have abreu staying in Chicago. So we have Martinez and hosmer As possible desperate Dave targets. One thing that seems odd, does desperate dave have any desire to lock up any of the youngsters to long term deals this winter? Maybe given the fact that we got roasted by the stupid long term deal we gave the eternally injured banana boy Pedroia, management might be loath to do another deal.
-
Sort of. I think he is all upside and will kill right handed pitching. Trying to catch lightening in a bottle.
