2019 Yankees
- Thread starter LISteve
- Start date
I hope they're being overly cautious with Severino and its not a tear (Shoulder, not lat) they're trying to rehab. Yankees can be cryptic with injuries. But imagine if he comes back healthy, give him a month to get back into game shape, he could be a beast come September and playoff time.
Loisiga for Kirby Yates, anyone??

I like Stroman, he's a NY kid and I think could handle playing here. MadBum is an ace of the highest order for sure, but I question if he has the temperament to succeed in NY. I could see him really excelling in a place like Atlanta if the Braves want more pitching help.
Does anyone else get a vibe from this team similar to that of the 2004 team? Stacked offense, great closer a couple of reliable arms in the bullpen but sparce on pitching elsewhere. I think Vasquez lead the 100+ win team in Wins that year with like 14. For as talented and deep as the position players are on this team I'm worried about them in the playoffs with their starting pitching as-is.

Good point about that 2004 teams pitching, can't forget the always reliable Kevin Brown. It's best we don't talk about 2004.
I am not a stroman believer, just don't think of him as an ace type. Toronto will want a haul from us for him, they know how badly he wants to come to NY. I agree with you about Baumgartner, plus we don't need another lefty in my opinion.

DeGrom is a team changer on a contender. He shakes up the market incredibly. If Mets were smart they would absolutely trade him. The haul could legitimately get them into contention in 2 years. They won't contender next year, and possibly the next. DeGrom will be 34 by then. It would also free up a ton of money for a few free agents. Plus you dump Cano. I don't think Van Wag is that smart though, he may think he is.
DeGrom on the Yanks would make them contenders the next three years.
Florial strikes out a ton, I am not big on the k type of guys. Everyone seems pretty split on him, either going to be a stud, or a flop. Frazier hits to more contact, although he does strike out a lot. Should be an interesting few weeks.
