There is no Tim Anderson if not for Jackie Robinson. Suggestin he is the modern day equivalent is an insult to Robinson's legacy.
Imo, 19 scoreless innings as of today qualifies him for the role. He has what it takes.
Might be the most critical factor. You want him to be ready. You want him to experience SUCCESS at each level, NOT failure or struggle. A young psyche' can easily be wounded. Once he gets in his own...
Wait a sec! Are we talking about the same team? The one with the best record in the MLB with a .737 win %?
If it ain't broke don't fix it. Hicks sucks at the moment, Gallo not too far behind. But...
As I read the above I heard thunder, saw lightening, the sky opened and the words bellowed from the heavens. We should all heed the words of the great and powerful wizard of Oz.

Nicky, the average game time today is 30 minutes longer compared to 70's. What or who is responsible? I would guess it's partly do to pitchers stepping off frequently, batter stepping out, and the...
Honest simple question: How do we / you know what the fans want to see? Old fart purists like me view the game very differently than younger fans. We may appreciate the nuances more than a casual or...

According to Tommy John Surgery List @MLB Player Analysis, as of 2021 a total of 534 MLB players have had TJ surgery since 1974. The total for all baseball players who had TJ surgery in 2021 was...
FWIW, Stanton is the MLB's RBI leader.
Fair enough, as you know I have always respected you and your opinion. We will simply agree to disagree.
However I do find it a bit ironic, what you hate about Gallo, his offense, is exactly what...
True, however imo C is the more pressing need and needs more immediate attention. Hicks sucks at the moment, I don't feel Gallo is a complete negative. He provides good D and has shown some signs of...

Yes. Best use of spects isn't always on the field. Do the deal and don't look back. Bird in hand. Soto is MLB proven.
PS. The reality....they need a catcher not an OFer.
Not sure if Holmes is the heir apparent, but Chapman has NEVER instilled the confidence in me one expects from a closer, guess I have been spoiled by Mo's excellence.
As is often the case with high profile mega deals, it's not the AAV, it's the term. Young guys teams try to lock up as long as possible, older guys (30+) they are willing to spend a bit more on a...
The comparison you ask?!! The records are identical, that is all the info being offered. The rest are assumptions or suppositions by the reader.
In a nut shell....Yes. Sad but true. Won't be the first time the Yankees have over paid. Who is more deserving? They over paid A-Rod and he wasn't even home grown.
Excellent point, one I had forgotten about and failed to consider.
I tend to agree. Judge turned down $230.5 million for the next eight seasons, Yankees offer was $17 million for the 2022 season plus $30.5 million per season for the next seven years, according to...
His career OBP is .332 . Last season he led the league in BB. He also led the league in K's....go figure. One would assume with an eye that good and a patient approach, he would K far less.
