Agreed. I think it is crazy to give up huge packages for a RP who might throw 60 innings the whole year. They could sign a guy like Hand for much cheaper and deal the other guys for starting pitching.Quote:

At the very least it could make another team think he might not be ready for the majors yet .Quote:

I mean do you really want to see andujar paying in the outfield during a plaYoff game in October if Hicks and judge both get hurt?Quote:

i never said, he should go to the minors, but he can have a utility role on this team, and a semi permanent one once the injuries pile up. Stanton is practically an invalid at this point.Quote:

No one has seen him play any position other than an awful third base, which potentially eliminates him as a trade option for the entire national league. The only teams who would potentially want him would be AL teams, and even then, I'd like to know what team out there will give you a top player back for DH, who hit well, for one season, 3 years ago.
Andujar was probably playing the outfield all season, we just didn't see it because he was at the alternate site. He'll also play it in winter ball and will obviously be doing it in spring training. Making routine plays in left field doesn't take a gold glove. I'd try Andujar at first as well, so he could potentially get ABs there should voit go down.
Thank you.Quote:

What is the next move for the Yankees? They get a pick if he signs elsewhere.
How high an offer will they present? One year deal with inflated AAV?
Thank you to ALL Veterans
List of some

who were also Veterans: #VeteransDay2020
• Yogi Berra

• Whitey Ford
• Phil Rizzuto
• Bobby Murcer
• Ralph Houk
• Billy Johnson
• Tommy Henrich
Michael Kay reported yesterday that DJ is asking for 4/100, do you think they Yanks do that? I'm not sure they will
They may go 25M per, but not for 4 years imo. Although they probably should!Quote:

Contact hitter who doesn't K often. They have also been linked to Didi and Marcus Semien. Seems to me they are determined to move Torres back to 2B, if media reports are believed.
Imo they still need to focus on the #2 behind Cole.

Excellent pointsQuote:

if that is what he is asking then bye bye he is not worth 4/100 at 33 years next year...Quote:
