The Official Thread of The New York Yankees - 2023

You didn't need to add "pretty" to useless hitter, he was useless. And that may have been his last good play in the field as well, he became a less than average OFer as the years moved on as well. He had one decent year and Cashman fell hook, line and sinker!

Now, now. He had a 3 hit game last week that no doubt upped his value in Japan or Cincinnati.

No wonder he shot up to .188 omg why would they cut such a torrid hitter!

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I do think he never fully recovered from his injuries. He did have respect from his teammates...so it wasn't an effort thing.

But...he was brutal the last couple years. He needed to go.

 

[Scoe]

Hicks was a very good steal of a trade but a very very dumb contract extension at 7 years no less it was stupid in hindsight, who would ever give Hicks 7 years you only give star players 7 years. I don’t give Cashman any credit for DFA Hicks.

 

[billythekid]

I read that Aaron Hicks just got picked up by Baltimore. It will be interesting to see if a change of scenery makes a difference. He looks like a guy whose confidence meter is pegged at 0%. He had become a liability at the plate and in the field.

So, if the Yankees are all about winning Championships...Cash needs to be called to the carpet.

Alas, he has the family wrapped around his finger.

They ended last season not able to hit. They entered this season with questions about hitting. Cashman did nothing. And now they aren't hitting. Shocking.

Hoping Donaldson would hit again isn't a strategy. Hoping Stanton and Bader would stay injury free isn't a strategy. The lineup is embarrassing.

This is all on cashman.

 

[Dove]

Cash made sure he got signed first. Then signed Judge. This all happened when the big FAs were scooped up.

Their never gonna be healthy, Cashman has built a roster of injury prone players, which he has always done even if fully healthy they would just be 1 and done anyways.

They only care about ticket sales, which leads me to believe there’s a reason the Yankees have been mum on Judges injury, thinking he will be out for a while. Yankees are very slick with their propaganda think the majority of fans have caught on by now.

Why would anyone spend 1,000 for a day at the stadium with their family to watch this team even with Judge healthy. Best thing fans can do is boycott don’t attend games and don’t watch them on the Yes network.

That’s the only possible way I see change being made. It’s time for Hal to sell the team.

 

[mauconnfan]

Broken record. Same ol’. Hasn’t changed in a long long time just keep signing and resigning has beens. Keep throwing Torres out there with his continued lackadaisical defense and overrated offense rather than trading him for something. Now they bring up a kid for SS hoping for the next Jeter but for now they have the next Stick Michael.

This not even a watchable baseball team, it’s painful. And again, even with 90-100 wins in the past you knew they couldn’t win it all. Now they’re lucky to win 80 with this staff and lineup of hitters. Any GM depending on Hicks and Cabrera to be in the OF along with Bader playing a full season is an absolute joke. Well here we are again, only worst!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

What everyone else said…but with less tradeable assets compared to the last deadline they were sellers.

As fans, we’re handcuffed…just root for this AAAA roster and see what happens…

And you added an “A” why??

Lol

It’s not even like this team is 3-4 moves away from being good. They need a complete over haul, and philosophical changes. It won’t change with Cashman, injuries will be used as an excuse.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

The minor league system has been fantastically unproductive. The problem with injuries is that they have no one in the minors to plug their holes. Who was the last outfielder that came through their system and made an impact not named Judge?

Its a team with a couple stars.... Judge and Cole....a bunch of has beens...and a bunch of journeymen.

With a crappy minor league system and bloated contracts....I don't see how they get out of this hole.

 

[Waquoit]

Here I am kinda hoping the Yanks can help get rid of Chaim and they go all 2004 on us.

 

[Scoe]

This sums it up.

 

[Dove]

lol...the benefit of the pitch clock is that we get to see the Yankees suck for 2.5 hours instead of 3.5 hours.

300 million.

It's not just the Yankees. Padres spent like crazy, terrible results. Atlanta and Texas are the only somewhat big spending teams that are winning at a very good clip. Dodgers, Yankees and Phillies are doing ok.

Sure it’s baseball anything can happen. With the Yankees I’m not suprised it goes beyond losing it’s the constant excuses and lack of accountability that turns fans away.

Bryce Harper and Manny Machado wanted to be Yankees Cashman never even bothered to negotiate with them. Padres might be dissapointing but they sure won’t be afraid to make changes necessary same with the Dodgers and Phillies, not the Yankees so their not the same.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Just checked Oswald Peraza's AAA stats: .292/.360/.563, 25 runs, 11 HR, 24 RBI, 11 SB in just 34 games.

Mostly played SS, but multiple starts at both 2B (four) and 3B (two).

Time to DFA Donaldson and play Peraza at 3B?

Part of the problem though HH is the Yanks haven’t spent crap for years. I mean sure had to resign Judge and when they got Stanton a huge contract came with him. But they have less of a spend now than many years ago. Cashman and Hal have been awful.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Here is why Yankee fans are cranky....they saw a team that couldn't compete offensively in the playoffs last year...then they saw a GM do nothing about it. And now that team is headed to another disappointing year. This season isn't a surprise...it's going exactly as predicted... and that makes fans cranky.

New year, same story. Injuries, aging players s^cking, watching guys strike out left and right while hitting the occasional HR and now for our added pleasure, an ultra-hyped up rookie SS billed as the future of the franchise batting under .200. All of this with an absurdly high payroll. Truth is there are very few bright spots even when the entire team is 100% healthy.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Nice pair of games for McKinney and Bauers. Trying their best Mike Tauchman impression.
