2019 Yankees

[lightweight]

Who remembers when the Yankees beat the Mets when their second baseman dropped a two out pop fly hit by A-Rod?

That was the best walk off.

Luis Castillo.

 

[LISteve]

No to Trout. That salary is ridiculous.

 

[lightweight]

I know, but is you are going to pay someone, it may be the second best player in the league ( Trout ) behind Cano.

Huge contracts usually turn out bad. There are more bad ones than good ones and then you are screwed for the future.

Agreed. But I am more outraged and mad at who they gave up in the deal, beside the stupid contract. Because remember, we gave up 2 bad contracts also in the deal. But still a horrible contract.

Nothing beats the Ellsbury contract. Boy do I hate him!

 

[LISteve]

I can't believe Ellsbury has another year after this one! He is CLEANING UP!

 

[NINE-LIVES]

and a 5 million buyout after next year. Total POS!

Yes, I agree. Some times you have to take a chance I guess. Looks horrible now.. Well, it wasnt good when they signed him but he was a really talented player though... Wouldnt you say?

 

[LISteve]

He had one good year. That's it. Maybe ha had talent but you shouldn't give a player that kind of contract based on only one good year. Can had 8 or 9 excellent years to get his contract.

Bauer
He wont be available to the yanks tho. They will want too much.

I think A Rods last contract was worse even though he played.

The yanks always over paid guys in the past. That's why they don't want to do those long term deals anymore.

I hated the Elsbury deal
The could have brought granderson back for alot less and he was better.

 

[NINE-LIVES]

Elsbury deal was classic knee jerk to Cano signing with Seattle.

Great point Slick regarding Grandy, never thought about that.

Arod deal was bad, I would have let him walk after that. Monday morning quarterbacking by me. Arod / Stanton are the same, they're rally killers and can't hit in the clutch. Garbage time stats.

 

[LISteve]

A-Rod was a lot better than Stanton. A-Rod was a great glove and he was an overall much better hitter. Plus -until the end he stayed mostly healthy. BUT ... Yes ... Both are kings of the meaningless home run. When you need a home run when up or down by 7 runs .... their your guys!

Bauer

I keep hearing he is pretty volatile with the media and loves to post crazy things on Twitter, all No-No's in Yankee-Land. Do You think they would overlook that to acquire him?

Maybe getting him out of Boston also had something to do with it? I dont remember is Boston even made an offer to him at that time.

He had quite a few good seasons in Boston, second in the MVP voting the year before signing. I'm sure Boston made an offer and was out bid. He played seven seasons had a BA of .297.

His first season in NY (2014) saw an outfield of Gardner, Ellsbury and Ichiro. He dramatically improved their outfield. Not all deals work out.

No shot. Cleveland is contending for a wild card and would not trade him to the Yankees.

Boston let him walk without an offer.

Back to the subject of pitching. Did anyone see Yankee prospect Deivi Garcia start the Futures game Sunday night? Pretty impressive.
