Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 2962219, member: 2141"] I agree on the Lowrie v. Murphy questions, either would be a smart move. I give extra points to Murphy's proven experience under the lights of NYC and he can also play 1st if Bird still can't hit and if Viot turns into a one-hit wonder once Didi is back (assuming here that Torres shifts to SS). I would actually like to see Adujar packaged with Gray for a top-half pitcher or high-value prospects (assuming that the Yanks make a run again at pitching in the 2020 free agency market as you note; but, I actually believe a closer maybe a priority their taking into account Champan's age). With respect to Realmuto, I would agree with a 1-for-1 swap with the Marlins with Sanchez. The Yanks lose some bang; but, their pitching staff would come-out ahead as you noted and I think Sanchez would do better away from the pressure-cooker fo the NYC media. Not everyone can hack the NYC media, can't blame them to be honest. All of this would also make a marriage between the Yanks and Machado more likely. So, here's a Opening Day Line-up for the Yanks (posted before). 1) SS Torres R (I think his K rate will come down in a lead-off role knowing he just needs to get on base) 2) 2B Murphy/Lowrie L/S 3) 3B Macahdo R 4) RF Judge R 5) Dan Hurley Staton R 6) CF Hicks S 7) C Realmuto R 8) 1B Bird or Voit L or R (the fact that Bird bats let is why the Yanks won't get rid of him yet) 9) LF Fraser R [/QUOTE]
