The Official Thread of The New York Yankees - 2022

Hearing there was a fairly aggressive offer for Ohtani by the Yanks which was denied by the Angels.

Hearing rumors of Shane Beiber being floated around - PLEASE!!???
 
Good what the hell took too long. Im not one of those fans who ever boos a player my anger is more at Cashman then Gallo. What the hell took so long to trade him, I will only give Cashman credit for this trade if Beeters turns into a good pitcher for the Yankees.

Whats Spiffeys take on this is he sad or is this the right move because the Yankees always make the right move in his eyes.

Its more like we won't trade Ohtani but lets put a leak to get a reaction from other teams.

I was surprised to see that they traded Montgomery. He has been a solid back-of-the-rotation lefty starter for NY. I know they picked up Montaz, but they just moved Severino to the 60-day IL. I guess Cashman feels better about German than he did Montgomery.
 
Hearing reports that Montgomery was traded for not having a good relationship with the press, I guarantee you it had nothing to do with his performance he just wasnt a Cashman guy. Hearing he was a bit moody in the clubhouse wit the lack of run support he was getting. Taillon is getting lit up right now btw.

I like moves that were made but very confused why you couldn't get a starter to replace Montgomery after you lost Sears, Waldichuck, and Sevy to 60 day IL which I also question.

How do you not have a plan in place for Severino and yes I said this the beginning of the season. Now I'm not saying this injury had a direct effect from his work load this year, If a guy is on an innings limit why not have him miss April maybe till mid may work Sevy slowly going 5 with your 20 man pen, then have Sevy go full go from June or July on.

Well see how it all works out the biggest obstacle to the Yankees isnt the Astros its Brian Cashman.

why do the rizzo and effross acquisitions feel like the tino and jeff nelsen gets? spooky.
i mean, wicked great glove and bat on the one hand, and wicked weird loop de loo benders from the sidewinder on the other.
as to my man joey, well, he wore out his welcome, not really complicated.
i like him, so what? i like benitendi, too. try to remember, oh brain damaged one, that im also a big fan of cash. can you hold two thoughts at one time in your noggin? far as i can tell, i haven't seen it.
this was a really good effort by cash and co. that oakland pitcher looks like he has some snarl in him. sweeeet.

Also Monty can’t field his position at all that’s an issue. I’d bunt on him all day.

Still not sure trading him was a great move at all especially with Seve going on the 60 and Tailon dying a bit. Germán has looked better but still unpredictable.

Wish they got one more solid rotation guy.

seve got the mads, publicly, aboot being on the 60. doesn't want to be there, doesn't think he should be there. cash outranks him, and since we just won #70 on the 1st of August, in a division where everyone is over .500, he is correct to tell louie to go soak his head for a while.
 
What the frick happened to Benintendi? 1 for 17, with six walks. Three whiffs tonight

Totally not funny. Cashman should have had this in the scouting report.

He should be batting leadoff number 2 at the very least he would get more pitches to hit and give Judge and Rizzo more RBI opportunities and push Carpenter further down the lineup giving more balance to the lineup.

Never stole over 15 bases in a year, who cares how fast he is. Basically another Hicks, maybe a better OFer but his OBP isn’t as good. Weird trade.

Bader: 11.8 WAR in 523 games.
Hicks: 12.5 WAR in 831 games.

Bader projects to 18.75 WAR for 831 games. So 50% better than Hicks.

If going by same # of PAs as Hicks, Bader projects to 21.7 WAR, so 74% better.

Not a WAR guy sorry he’s only a better OFer and steals maybe 2-3 more bases than Hicks has. Hicks a much better OBP he walks a bit more. I mean they are very similar players at the very least there’s no denying that. Can only hope he grew up a Yankee fan and it adds to his excitement to play the game. We will see, but again it’s not like the back of our starting staff is in good shape so a strange trade.
 
Since arriving in the league in 2017, Bader is behind only Keirmaier and Buxton as the best defensive CF in the game. He is a massive upgrade over Hicks defensively. My guess is the plan is to move Hicks to LF to platoon with Benintendi (Hicks hitting LHP, Benny RHP).

The problem is that Bader has been in a walking boot since June with plantar fasciitis.

Montgomery’s the definition of a meh SP. No out pitch, and he struggles to put people away. If you’re relying on him during a meaningful stretch of games, you aren’t winning the World Series.

Bader's offensive stats over last 3 years are slightly better than Hicks. Bader's OPS is 40 points higher in that time. So maybe it's time to move on from Hicks. Bader is four years younger.

While Bader may only be an average bat, and maybe you don't buy into WAR. But you should buy into defense. And over his 6 year career, Bader has 47 defensive runs saved vs Hicks 1.

Regarding the back of your staff, Quintana was there for the asking. Pirates had to settle for a pretty crappy return from Cards. I'm sure Yanks could've done better and you would've had Quintana, but apparently Cashman couldn't come up with a deal.
