2016 Yankees
- Thread starter LISteve
- Start date
Tanaka is an ace .... Sabathia is a serviceable #3 or #4 pitcher ... This kid Cessa seems like je is for real. 2017 is about growing and seeing what we have. If they are close at the deadline they can make a trade for a #1 or #2 type starter. I think they have to land a real closer though. Starting pitching is so tough to spend a lot of money on. Look at the Mets. Every single one of them is out ... and Thor is pitching with bone spurs. Yankees have some good young arms. I say we go into 2017 with Tanaka, Sabathia, PIneda, Cessa and let the rest of the kids battle it out for the 5th spot. Get a closer and they will be fine to compete for a wild card while still learning on the job with the kids. Look at 2017 as if it were 1995!!!
SANCHEZ looks like he will be a very good ballplayer. BRUCE has put up pretty good career numbers thus far and has hit very well during these past last 5 games (3 HR's, 6 RBI's). He is starting to look more like himself when he was with the Reds.It is a good time to get hot.
Mitchell did pitch a great game!!! Unbelievable grand slam from TEX!!! Great win!!!! Most analyst before the start of the year had the Yankees winning between 77 - 79 wins this season. The Yankees have had a good season.

i think the yankees had a great "very watchable"after the trade deadline season,before that it was like going to a strip club and watching 60 year old strippers with canes,tripping on stage with unshaven snatch..
i hope their new trade talent is as good as expected and then pitching will be last domino to fall.
i like sanchez he s has talent and also seems like a pro not some all about me types you find so often these days.

Anyone remember the fast start Conforto had in 2015? And then the pitchers got a read on him and his production dropped off in 2016. Think the same thing might happen to Sanchez. Though I still would like to have him just to change catchers, as I am not pleased with any of the three the Mets have. Sanchez' numbers are amazing for just a third of a season. He was on pace for 60 HRs and 125 RBIs, although you could expect a dropoff over a full season. Next year will be interesting.
Sanchez is the real deal because he has been talked about for years ... because everybody has been impressed with his talent. Nobody was talking about Spencer. Ruben Rivera had talent but it was squandered and Jesus Montero was another one who had attitude problems .... that is why he was dealt. Rivera too.
Banacek ... these Mets pitchers have the talent ... but they are delicate flowers.

- Treating pitchers with kid gloves in the new norm. Mets pitchers aren't any different when it comes to pitch count and innings limits. Some of the Mets announcers were saying that this doesn't allow them to stretch out their arms the way that pitchers used to. Then again, some pitchers like Koufax blew themselves out well before their prime. Koufax comes to mind.
