The Official Thread of The New York Yankees - 2022

[McLovin]

Assuming Bader is healthy, he'd probably be starting over Locastro or Hicks.

Forgot that guy exists lmao

 

[Scoe]

If we have a healthy team come October (big if), the lineup should be (but probably won’t be)

Benintendi
Judge
Stanton
Rizzo
DJ
Cabrera
Gleyber
Trivino
Locastro (because I guess it’s better than Hicks or Gonzales, although I’d really prefer Florial but doubt he makes the roster).

Im fine with Judge batting 2nd now since Benintendi is done for the year it looks like.

 

[superjohn]

Spring training lineup. The front office is a joke and the team stinks but watching Judge is worth it. Never seen a one man team like this before. #55.

 

[McLovin]

Yeah, but I'd rather see a lineup with Cabrera, Peraza and Andujar over a lineup with Hicks, Gonzales and Donaldson.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Man, I can watch Cabrera play defense all day. Such a gifted, versatile defender wherever he is on the field.

That offense tho

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Bases loaded, no out and can't score. Pathetic

 

[superjohn]

They bring Guzman up and bat him cleanup where he gets the golden Sombrero and hits into a double play with bases loades and no outs in extras.

The people running this team are an absolute joke.

That offense though!

And he nailed the end of game walk-off interview! Love this guy!

 

[Scoe]

Clinched a winning record that will get Cashman an extension.

 

[mauconnfan]

Twins always there to help keep Cashmans job.

Sox didn’t help against the Rays but I’m sure they’ll hammer on the Yanks when they meet lol.

I mean Stanton hurt again, Benetendi out more than likely for good, Rizzo headaches from the epidural. Why even make the playoffs this team is dreadful. I say this after winning a couple games too. So painful to watch that offense.

 

[McLovin]

Where are people hearing Benintendi out for good? I heard / read he could be back before the season is over, and almost certainly for the playoffs.

You know the injuries will be used as an excuse to give Cashman an extension no matter how the season ends.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

One grand slam later IKF is now the cleanup hitter!

 

[Scoe]

Absolutly pathetic it took this long to move IKF to 3b his natural GG position, Gleyber is completely useless btw, Volpe is tearing it up in AAA hes ready call him up.

 

[McLovin]

Would love to see Volpe this year, but unless there are numerous injuries beyond the guys currently out, long shot he gets a call-up and any significant run.

They have to move Gleyber in the offseason and let the combo of Cabrera, Peraza and Volpe be the future of the (middle) infield.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Just cut Hicks. Physically stinking it up is one thing but dropping a fly ball then pouting about it as guys are circling the bases is a new low even for him.

 

[McLovin]

Never going to happen. Cutting Hicks means Cashman admitting he was wrong. Guy thinks he’s a genius. Never will do it. Even though eating $10.5M the next 3 years and replacing him with ANYONE (Bader, Andujar, Cabrera, Tyler freaking Wade…) instantly improves the team

Yeah wishful thinking.

On another note, what’s it going to take to re-sign Judge after this season?

 

[McLovin]

The real question is, does he even want to sign if the Yankees have the best offer?

Judge must be looking around right now and asking himself, do I want to play for this incomptent organization for the rest of my career or do I go back home to the west coast and join the Dodgers or Giants?

 

[McLovin]

On that note, Michael Kay has become insufferable to listen to recently. He is basically a mouth piece for Cashman pushing a false narrative.

During last nights game he…

A) claimed the rays have caught the Yankees because of all the bad luck injuries we have had.

B) “the kids” have been called up like the fans wanted but haven’t provided a spark.

The problem isn’t injuries or Cabrera and Peraza. It’s a manager and front office who keep trotting out Hicks, Gonzales, Guzman, Lacastro, Donaldson, Gallo, etc. even though none can hit a baseball.

How dumb do they think the fans are? It’s would be offensive if it wasn’t so funny lmao

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Feels good chasing Kluber in the first! Am I watching slow pitch softball?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

On another note, what’s it going to take to re-sign Judge after this season?

Eight years $300 million.

My gut tells me that the Yanks already have a firm ceiling on what they will be willing to pay and if some team exceeds that, Judge walks.

I hate the idea beyond description but I can see Hal/Cashman pulling this crap and then trying to spin it as fiscal responsibility.

I think you're way low on the guess. That seems reasonable for what he would have gotten on the open market before this historic season. He'll clear $350M easy and I think there's a better than good chance it's above $400M
