How many Yankee posts can we have in 1 day.
Ask in the chat how Beltran used his cameras and sign stealing this season to help Judge. Nice having him in the booth this season there in NY.
You forgot the question mark (?) to end that first sentence. A question mark is a punctuation symbol placed at the end of a sentence or phrase to indicate a direct question.
Rhetorical questions do not require question marks but I’m sure everyone thanks you for trying to be the grammar police.
You’re a Mets fan, opinion discarded.
You do realize that you don’t have to read them, right?
I’m just entertained by the fact that some irrelevant Mets fan always feels the need to chime in on anything Yankees related (like the cuck above who couldn’t even formulate a coherent sentence).
He’s a baseball fan too. Is he only aloud to comment on his teams posts? Who cares
And, once again, the low-IQ poster is often the first poster.
How many posts do you look at, that you really don’t know what your talking about? And you have proof of what your saying?
Brian Cashman is a jabroni. That is all.
Why Cashman is still employed by the Yankees is the real question? He loves huge contracts that turn out bad on the back end for over the hill players. He would be a great GM if you could use 3 or 4 DHs at once. Lol
Boone and Cashman both gone if they don’t win the pennant in 23.
Jimmy Harvard;
Posters wrote that here last year.
When a FO exec builds a roster, he / she has to have an idea what they want in different areas – starting pitching; relief pitching; defense; offense – what degree of hitting, OBP, situational hitting, speed, power, etc.
Next they must figure out what they’re willing to compromise on in all areas as some players are very good in some things but weak in others. That’s the blueprint. Fill in how to work that out with the budget, and bring the players in over a few years time and see that they’re coached up.
That’s not what Hal Cashman keep doing. Rather – like fans / rotisserie league players – they look at what “holes” they have each year, and fill them. This is what all losing organizations do. (The only thing that keeps the Yankees competitive is 1) The dilution in MLB talent due to expansion; and 2) They have a lot of money to overpay players). The problem with their approach is that when you think you have some holes filled, a few pop up again either during the season – injuries, players having bad years – or after. Then they spend the off-season refilling the holes they thought were plugged. In Ivy League college graduate schools this is formally known as: “Chasing Your Tail”.
P.S.
Matt Blake should be getting $35m a year.
That would be the only in-line ‘Pay For Performance’ contract in the entire Yankees organization.
“Then they spend the off-season refilling the holes they thought were plugged…”
“Chasing Your Tail”.
Whack-A-Mole
As long as the Steinbrenner Family owns the team Cashman isn’t going anywhere. Which means Boone will be your manager.
Correct.
Did Darragh McDonald live in Seattle. Cuz now he’s clueless in New York.
I thought Darragh was Female. Shows what I know…
Who came up with this Gleyber to the Marlins nonsense?
Yankee fan disease is spreading.
The Marlins most desirable trade chip is Pablo Lopez. Young, Controlled. Relatively cheap. Solid #2 starter. He’s being discussed only to improve the Marlins offense.
So the “framework” starts with Gleyber? That’s all well and good for the Yankees because that’s convenient for them. But why in the world would the Marlins even consider it?
The Marlins best position player and biggest fan favorite is Jazz Chisholm Jr. He plays 2B. Furthermore, after watching some Marlins games of the past few years, what sticks out is how drab the Marlins position players are. The only one with a bit of a flourish is Jazz. He actually runs the bases aggressively. The Marlins are fielding a team that would be boring to watch in all MLB cities, while playing in one that celebrates flash, glitter, energy, etc. Gleyber is a Steady Eddie. He’s no improvement baseball wise or marketing wise.

Under another article I proposed a White Sox Marlins trade…..
Marlins get Tim Anderson and Adam Engel.
Sox get Pablo Lopez and Miguel Rojas.
–
Here the Marlins get some offense directly with Anderson leading off and Jazz hitting behind him. Yes, their D at SS will suffer. But Anderson is a hotdog that plays to the crowd. Having him playing next to Jazz will be exciting for the fans, and quite possibly inspire some of the other Marlins players. They’ll have a legit defensive CF, and while he won’t bring much offense, moving guys they’ve been playing in CF back to their natural positions will allow them to concentrate more on hitting.
Sox will get a #2 behind Cease; and a solid ML SS that will begin to straighten out the defensive mess that team has. The Sox also save a little money which is necessary as they need to cut payroll.
A trade like this would open up other possibilities for both FO’s to follow through on this offseason. This is realistic.
Anderson hasn’t been as reliable defensively the last two seasons, but he’s still very good. And why on earth would the Marlins want Engel? good glove but a sure out at the plate. I wish the Sox had kept Billy Hamilton. He can’t hit either, but man can he play defense!

I wrote, but you can’t read……
So what you’re saying is that the Marlins wouldn’t want a strong defensive CF, but you wish the White Sox had brought in one.
George built an absolute empire and Hal thought it was going to be a turn-key form of passive income. Although Cashman defenders constantly talk about his playoff track record the cracks are already forming and this franchise is declining whether it’s obvious to some or not. Rome didn’t fall in a day. It’s probably going to take another couple years before they find themselves in real trouble.
This Judge situation is as about as bad is it can get. Sign him and you kill your payroll flexibility (not that they ever paid attention to it) and add a huge liability to your team and if you lose him and you lose your entire offense. They had so long to lock him up to a reasonable extension and they just sat on their hands doing nothing.
#2 valuation in pro sports. #1 in MLB. It is a turn-key business which is why there is no sense of urgency to win. Good enough to have a shot is what we get. They need to abolish the no-extensions (with the few rare exceptions) and grooming policy.
Yeah, ironically the things Hal chooses to keep from his father are the grooming policy and non-player-extension policy. The things that built the legacy of the Steinbrenner ownership he dropped, like winning as a priority, and spending to address weaknesses.
