Agreed. I was NOT happy with the Montas deal, even more angry with the Monty deal and utterly dumbfounded by the Lopez fiasco. Cashman is many things, but I never thought of him as stupid. He proved...

Regarding the Castillo deal, Yankees were in until the very end, the Mariners simply presented an offer that would've been foolish to refuse, a package of four prospects that includes three...

Day, Florial was a necessity, couldn't leave Hicks in the line up. My hypothetical suggested bringing up more kids, including Peraza, Volpe whatever arms are left ect. Creating a new core....

Imo you hit the nail on the head. As others have mentioned what is the motivation for Cashman to win? Cash is now family and appears to have a lifetime job. Hal has become complacent and making the...

Clown, either way it reflects poorly on the FO. My contention is simple, it affords them an excuse, an out. Would they be blaming the kids specifically? NO They would be pointing to the process of...

Fair enough.

It makes perfect sense, you just refuse to see or admit it. Why are teams that are "retooling" given more latitude by the fans and media? Playing a majority of prospects affords them that latitude....

Can't compete or won't compete? I think there is a difference.

Well deserved! :mad:

Reading is fundamental.

I suggested a hypothetical. They call up more rookies, Peraza et al. They continue to lose thus offering Hal and Cashman a predetermined excuse.

Speed is great. A major asset and weapon. In order to utilize you need to hit.

The way I'm looking at it, he's already an upgrade with his glove alone. Hicks not only doesn't make the catch, doesn't hit either. Anything they get from Cabrera with the bat is a bonus at this...

True. I may have told you the Carnegie Hall story. Early 70's. Dave Davies is actually kicking the bass player on stage. Ray is yelling at Dave. Great show aside from the histrionics.

PS. Checked...

Kinks ? Not many.

Perspective. 15 AB's all that's needed.

Hicks let's that drop for a single, no question.

The Toronto Blue Jays (61-54) are headed to Yankee Stadium on Thursday where they will try to defeat the New York Yankees (72-45). The expected starting pitchers will be Jose Berrios and Frankie...

Clown I can imagine Florial for Hicks and Peraza maybe getting some PT over IKF. Beyond that I'm not sure. Waldi is gone, he would have been a pick to get some experience. Marinaccio should be a...

A thought that just crossed my mind regarding the spects. Let's assume they call up a few more, Peraza and whatever pitchers are ready (who's left?). The clamoring from the fans subsides. They...

In his last 25 Scranton games, Cabrera was batting .330 with seven home runs, eight steals and a 1.040 OPS.

Let's all hope he and Florial are the spark and energy this team needs. We may also see...

No pressure, relax and enjoy your time with the big club....right Nick? 15 AB's is about 4-5 games assuming they start and finish. Plenty of time to acclimate and produce.

I don't disagree. Imo Hicks appears to have fallen off a cliff this season. He is not the player he was, nor the player the Yankees signed to a seven-year, $70M extension prior to 2019!

I believe...

Youthful exuberance Nick! New blood. Energy. Rookie excitement and anticipation. Their presence alone could lighten the atmosphere, maybe.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Imo there is always pressure on a rook to perform, although Florial has had a taste of the bigs. In 16 games he slashed .206/.325/.353/ OPS.678, hardly a...

Agree. Hopeful. He's too important down the stretch.
