Yankee off season thread, news, notes, rumors and ideas

Wow. Cashman actually calling out Sanchez instead of babying him? Nice
I would guess this is a direct, I detect response to Sanchez’s “I don’t know why” comments in the interview he had recently

If Gary really didn’t know, now he does

Not sure how Yadier Molina fits into the Yankees salary structure or whether they could do a blockbuster trade with the Indians for Roberto Perez (perhaps Frazier, Andujar and/or others).

If you do that trade, who plays left? Gardner, or Taulkman ( and hope NONE of our 3 outfielders gets hurt all year.)

Gardner, Tauchman, Frazier or Andujar (whichever is not traded, unless both are traded in the deal), Allen, Stanton (maybe), Wade (maybe), Florial, other minor leaguers and (even) LaMachine, if he had to do it. The point is that we have lots of OFs and can get more if we want them.

Allen is not a staring outfielder, not even a 4th outfielder, might be a 5th, if Yanks decide to carry 5, plus Stanton.
BTW, anyone heard what the roster size wil be this year? I ask because everyone is saying how teams wii need 6 or 7 starters since no one pitched even 100 innings in '20.

Nelson is one of the big reason why the Yanks haven't looked for a more established BP because they are expecting big things from him
The Yankee have a great arm if Nick Nelson gets his fastball right:

Change-up:
.308 SLG
.1 in. vs. avg drop / 1.5 in. vs. avg. break

Curve:
.000 SLG
4.8 inches vs. avg in drop / .4 in. vs. avg in break

Slider:
.267 SLG
4.4 in. vs. avg in drop / 5.5 in. vs. avg in break

As we saw last yr the FB command was a little erratic last yr but he throws it in the high 90s.

Let hope between Nelson, Abreau, Krispe and Lasagna atleast 2 of them have a solid yr next yr

Sounds like Bauers market is basically down to the Mets and maybe the Dodgers. There was a report earlier that the Dodgers were looking into trading Price to get some extra room under the CBT.

It'll be interesting to see who much he gets if thats what his market is. I can't see such a smart team like the Dodgers, especially when they already have a strong rotation, being willing to pay him anything close to the Cole AAV he is looking for

They might do that if it was on a 2-3 year contract.

We'll do the boys again. Cashman has a lot of work to do this winter to potentially beat Tanaka, Paxton and Hap. How much BP help do we need?

The priority is for one DJ to resign

Do you guys bother with the lineup? Who goes, who stays and who tries we achieve.

Ummm...does above person live in the past??

:eyebrow:

Looks like bots are almost getting smarter.

I think it was johnnyi, although i could be mistaken, who used to claim, how dumb Sanchez was. I'm not certain if they meant, as a person or player. I was indifferent to this statement at the time, but Gary's recent comments about not knowing why he was benched seem to confirm that claim, almost as a statement of fact now. If by some miracle Gary puts up a monster year the yankees need to trade him immediately.

No it was not Johnnyi who made that claim.

The person who claims that Sanchez is ''dumb'' is a particular poster who reports people for ...dumb... reasons and then cries it is a ''family forum'' yet uses words like dumb to describe someone. It's certainly ironic.

This posters name is 7chuck7.

yeah i could see someone giving him 2yrs 75m which would get him past Coles AAV. Last i heard was he looking for a 4-5yr deal and i just don't think his market is going to develop enough to get him the deal he's looking for.

If he does end up on either the Mets or Dodgers that is going to make either of their rotations very, very tough

Yeah i didn't put much stock in that either until Gary's recent comments. If he really didn't know why he got benched, WOW, he maybe a little slow.

If he does put up a monster season i agree that they should try to capitalize on that and look to move him. That would be the perfect opportunity for them to try and bring in some young talent to help build the next core.

Slick is correct about the poster. There is an entire thread regarding that topic.

I don't think anyone accused Sanchez of being a Rhodes Scholar but those comments were either a lie or he is dumber than anyone including chuck, thought.

I fully agree. If he restores his market value, trade him ASAP.

I don't know, no bot would have grammar that bad.

Thanks for defending my honor. I am too diplomatic to outright call anyone dumb, though I do feel that most of us posters are a bunch of knuckleheads. LOL.
