LIHoosier Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 The Yanks finally decided on Aaron Boone. His family's been in baseball basically since Cartwright laid the rules down so he should know a little something. Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app They could try to unload someone, they've got some good OF prospects in the minors too. I read their plan was to rotate Gardner/Judge/Stanton (think it was those 3) through the DH spot. Quote

Prior to last season since his rookie year I remember reading he only averaged 112 games per year. Last year was a full year. Fun team to watch offensively. Losing Castro does nothing but give Torres a spot. Great move imo. I think this all but eliminates Harper to the Yanks next season. He had been teasing Cubs though for some time since he grew up with Bryant.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Naturalhoosier 1 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Losing Castro helps the Yankees absorb the contract while still having a chance at staying under the luxury tax. I was never a Castro fan so it's a win-win for me. I'm not sure if Torres is ready, just a handful of AAA at bats pre-injury, but if he doesn't win the job they may be able to patch 2B together until he is. Plus you won't make it through a full year with only 3 OF, so they'll still be chances for Hicks and Ellsbury. I prefer trying to dump Ellsbury, but the only team dumb enough to take his 21 mil/yr is the Cleveland Browns. Still need a 5th starter, could try to bring Sabathia back cheap. Harper was never a guarantee though. I'll take Stanton now over a chance at Harper next season. Stanton is headed to (or already in) NY for a physical which means he approved the trade, so pending physical it looks like below: Miami: Castro+two low level prospects+eating 30 mil Yankees: Reigning NL MVP Good deal for NY.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Yes, another reason he can't be dumped. That reactionary contract to an injury prone player was ssssoooo stupid. He had one great year, aside from that he was basically Brett Gardner. Quote

Dalton26 Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I'm actually excited for my Phillies again with a lot of young guys from our Farm system on the roster this season. Probably wont make the playoffs but itll be nice to get a good look at our future Quote

Judge and Stanton and Sanchez back to back to back. That's beyond brutal; I almost feel bad for the pitchers...almost. Gonna be a lot of baseballs not coming back. A person I work with is married to a pitcher in the Mets organization. She should probably be glad he's in the minors, last time Judge was there he hit one that was last seen in orbit around Mars.
