The blockbuster deal we've been waiting for
-
DJLM back
6 yrs $90M
$15M AAV
-
Cashman doesn’t know what he’s doing tho
-
DJLM back
6 yrs $90M
$15M AAV
WOOO
-
DJ taking more years, less than $100M, and a lower AAV frees up a good chunk of money to go after SP and RP this offseason
-
Is this the best day ever?
-
Just saw Yankees and Kluber are talking a 1-year deal.
Make it happen Cash.
-
If the Yankees sign Kluber do you also bring back Tanaka? While I would still love to get Bauer I wouldn't be sad about Cole, Tanaka, Kluber, then whoever rises between German, Deivi, Loaisiga and Monty until Severino comes back to slot in behind Cole.
-
According to Kay, they started the offseason with about $35M to spend. Sounds like they have 20 left.
-

Yes.

Haha seriously! I'm trying to soak in the optimism and positive vibes.

Kluber confirmed

Kluber confirmed
This is it

Hopefully this frees Cashman up to finally start making some moves. It’s January 17th 2021 and they’ve only signed 2 guys.
-
they’ve only signed 2 guys
lmao you dumb bitch
https://twitter.com/mlbtraderumors/status/1348292833007042560?s=21
-
Very fitting to sign le Machine and the Klubot on the same day
-
“Perhaps the team liked enough of what they saw in his showcase and had some additional insight from Cressey, who helped Kluber’s rehab this offseason.”
The ties to Kluber are there with Matt Blake (Yankees Pitching Coach, former CLE pitching dev coach) and Eric Cressey (Yankees Director of Health and Performance, Kluber’s trainer). The Yankees likely have more insight into his shoulder rehab than any other team in the league through Cressey.
-
I really want to sign Tanaka now. (I mean, really, I'd want to sign Bauer, but I just don't think it's going to happen).
Cole, Severino, Klubot, Tanaka in October?
-
I'm really hoping the data plays out re: Cressey and that last year was the transition spike they've talked about.

Let’s goooo
-
Coming off his 2nd TJ surgery. Take a look at his 2018 season.
Hoping he will fit the mold of hugely talented arms that Pitt did a poor job of developing while they were there in Gerrit Cole and Tyler Glasnow
-
1. Gerrit Cole
2. Corey Kluber
3. Jordan Montgomery
4. Jameson Taillon
5. Deivi Garcia
6. Luis Severino (IL)
7. Domingo German
8. Clarke Schmidt
Bullpen: Chapman, Britton, Ottavino, Green, Cessa, Loaisiga
Sign another bullpen guy (Rosenthal plz) and let’s freaking roll
-
The cost makes bringing in a guy like Taillon worth it, but I hate the fact that payroll limitations are going to cause Tanaka to walk, especially given the makeup of the rotation.
Tons of medical red flags. Cash is at least mitigating the risk as much as possible given the depth.
This team needs a righty out of the pen in the worst way.

-
As long as he stays healthy, and I just saw he supposedly made a delivery change as part of his rehab, this will likely be a good trade.
But I'm really concerned with all the health question marks throughout the rotation. This could potentially be a top-tier rotation, but Cressey had better be elite at his job.

All that matters with the rotation is what it looks like come playoffs
If we have Cole, and then 2 effective/healthy pitchers out of Kluber, Taillon, and Sevy, that is an upgrade on last year and years past. We have more than enough arms to make it through the regular season. Shouldn’t be any injury concerns with the back end of our rotation and they all have enough upside to have a big year of one of the guys ahead of them goes out.
-
This trade also opened up 2 spots on the 40 man to allow for the DJLM and Kluber signings. Classic Cashman trading guys we may have had to cut anyways. Think it was Roansy and Yaijure.
I think we still need to make another move for Taillon.

Yeah, I was thinking a little more about it. They just need these guys at 100% come late September. The offense should get them enough wins to play in October.
If these guys are all healthy, this is easily the best Yankees rotation since at least 09, and probably a lot longer than that. Reminiscent of the late-90s run where there were multiple aces.
Is this the year the Yankees finally start using a 6th starter?

Yes, and yes.
Supposedly the Yankees are still interested in bringing back Gardner too, so maybe a big deal in the works? To get the two spots I figure they would have to trade Frazier and Andujar. Unless maybe they decide to go with Andujar and sell high on Urshela?
It definitely feels like Cashman has one more big move coming before pitchers and catchers report.
-
We're uhhh trading Ottavino to Boston?
-
We're uhhh trading Ottavino to Boston?
And giving them a prospect lol
Pure salary dump. At least we didn’t trade him to a contender?
-
THIS TEAM NEEDS A RIGHTY OUT OF THE PEN IN THE WORST WAY.
FWIW, unless that prospect is more than a lottery ticket, I don't get it from the Red Sox perspective either considering Brad Hand just got 10.5 for the year. In a depressed market, Ottavino is still worth 8 million for the year?
-
What the everloving freak?!

Their bullpen is atrocious. Otto could be the closer there, unless they want to run Barnes back out there.
The Red Sox aren’t competing this year, judging by their offseason moves. They got a decent prospect to take him on (2018 4th rounder Frank German) and can flip Otto at the deadline for another prospect or 2 if they’re out of it. Solid trade by them.
-
Good riddance to his career 4.0 BB/9. Relievers that walk that many guys can’t be trusted, no matter how filthy their stuff is.
He’s also been horrendous since August 2019, that money is better spent elsewhere.
I predict they’ll re-sign Gardy and use whatever’s left over on a RHRP.
-
Yeah he was a disappointment but it sucks he didn't work out here.
-
Yeah he was a disappointment but it sucks he didn't work out here.
He had a great 2019 but his numbers always said he was due for a big regression, he had an ungodly strand %. It looked to me like he fucked up his mechanics sometime over the past year. Hitters also got the scouting report that neither of his pitches get thrown for strikes that often. He was able to paint a bit in 2019, but couldn’t find the zone if he tried last season.

Which makes the idea that he's a viable "buy low" candidate at 7 million plus in a depressed market questionable. He's not all of a sudden going to go close for Boston.
-
Barely hours after the Ottavino trade news broke, it started circulating that the Yankees had re-engaged Gardner on a return.
Gardy's a great leader, and Ottavino isn't as big a loss given what SFD posted, but I'd spend the savings on pitching, and allow at-bats for Frazier and Tauchman along with Hicks and Judge, not to mention Andujar.
Unless Cashman is saving money and those players for a trade deadline acquisition of Scherzer.
-
Yankees pick up Darren O’Day, who is apparently a strikeout pitcher
2008-14 22.9 K%
2015-20 31.4 K%
And the only 4 RP to beat his 2.63 ERA and .197 BAA since 2015 (min 150 IP) are Aroldis Chapman, Andrew Miller, Kenley Jansen & Josh Hader
-
Tanaka has officially announced his return to Japan.
I'll miss him. I'm really glad he didn't wind up pitching for a rival.

-

Good. Let the guy have a lengthy 'dress rehearsal' and not have to look over his shoulder at the first sign of a mini slump, i.e. find out if this quick stick's the real deal (long term). When he's on he's got electric hands. And he seems to have mellowed out upstairs.
-
I'm loving what I'm hearing about Judge and Stanton thanks to Cressey. I've been talking about it since at least back in 2010 (because I know I talked about it regarding Teixeira) that this team put too much emphasis on strength training and not enough on flexibility.
Guys like Judge and Stanton are going to put the ball in the seats no matter how much they can bench. But they have to be in the lineup to do that.
-
“I get kind of frustrated with everyone saying we need a lefty bat in the lineup,” Voit said. “I like hitting righties as much as I like hitting lefties, and I think a lot of guys do. It’s still Aaron Judge, it’s still Giancarlo, it’s still Gleyber Torres, it’s still Gary Sánchez. You’ve got to figure out some way to get us out, whether it’s lefty or righty, so good luck.”

Certainly not as fearsome as the bullpens we’ve had in the past, but should be good enough to get the job done.
Not great depth behind it. Tyler Lyons and Nick Nelson probably aren’t major leaguers.
This is the year we need Cessa or Lasagna to finally take that big developmental leap.

A healthy Stanton is an absolute monster. Can you imagine how many runs this team could score if they can all stay relatively healthy?
DJLM 2B
Hicks CF
Judge RF
Stanton DH
Voit 1B
Sanchez C
Torres SS
Urshela 3B
Frazier LF
And honestly, if Sanchez keeps hitting like he is now, I flip him and Luke. And if Clint shows he do the job, I might switch him and Hicks.
Honestly, Boone could trot out a different order of those guys every night and still there would be no one to pitch to in any spot in the order.

Tauchman was removed in the third inning of Sunday's Grapefruit League game with an ankle injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Ryan LaMarre subbed into the contest for Tauchman, who initially hurt his ankle when he fouled a ball off himself in his second-inning at-bat, which culminated in a strikeout. Tauchman was able to stay in the game and played the outfield for the subsequent half inning, but he appeared to be in obvious pain. The 30-year-old had already been informed that he would be included on the Yankees' Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder, but the injury -- if serious -- could change those plans.
-
Schmidt (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Analysis: Schmidt suffered an extensor strain in his right elbow in late February and has yet to resume throwing. While manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Schmidt's return to throwing could be "imminent," the right-hander will miss extended time to begin the regular season while he builds back up.
-
Sounds like Tyler Wade is making the team over Dietrich. He’s hitting .194 this spring and as per usual.
He’s a really good speed/defense guy off the bench though. They don’t need him to hit. They have a lineup full of guys that can hit HRs which is mainly what Dietrich brings to the table. He’s hitting .167 This spring FWIW.
Wade is also the only true backup SS on the roster. They tried Gio there for a game this spring lol.

It's really hard to root for him. But it also makes me think I may be hypocritical since Chapman may have acted just as badly, with the exception that there weren't the witnesses.
-
As for the Yankees as a whole, I'm really sick of leaving runners on base. How is this team so consistently bad at driving in runs?
I'll always hate the "swing for the fence" mentality, but there are too many good overall hitters on this team to be so bad at moving runners all the time--regardless of approach.

But on a positive note, I'm liking the approaches at the plate better the last couple of games. Granted, the Orioles make life easier, but when guys like Judge and Torres start going the other way, it's a good sign of patience.
And just wow with the pitching for this team.

Orioles are shitty, but the Red Sox for 19 games look pretty inviting as well. Aside from JD Martinez rediscovering his bat and Tanner Houck showing a very live arm (which amazingly enough probably gets rewarded with him getting optioned to the alternative site), that team looks like absolute trash.
Blue Jays lineup from top to bottom is incredibly dynamic, Teoscar Hernandez is the most underrated player in baseball right now.
And FWIW, I hate this Odor deal, but Cashman gets fixated on random people and has to have them. Call it the Garrett Jones effect.

Odor is only 27 and has three 30+ seasons under his belt. One of only 6 second basement to accrue three 30 Hr seasons.
Statcast (baseballsavant.com) says he would have hit 8 additional HRs since 2019 if he played at YS. He hit 30 in 2019 and 10 in 2020.
His OBP and BA make me want to KMS.
He has a giant hole in his swing, maybe the analytics/scouting team think they can fix it. They’ve had pretty good success lately with Voit, Gio, Tauchman. Didi and Hicks if we go back further.

He’s one of the wildest pitchers I’ve ever seen. He loses his control all the time, sometimes mid batter. Happened last night, he was airmailing pitches all over the place and still struck out the side. Higashioka couldn’t even catch the pitches he was throwing at one point.
Doesn’t mean he can’t bean someone intentionally, but if you watch him regularly, you can’t ignore that context.

He does it all the time. Rays got mad that one happened to be over Brosseau’s head. Chapman has no idea where the ball is going a solid percentage of the time he throws it.
From spring training this year, lol:

Bruce needs to go. Call up Mike Ford. Play DJ at 1B and Odor/Wade at 2B. Play Gary at 1B and have Higgy catch. Have Tauchman play 1B. Anything else.
His defense might be as bad as his bat.

I still don't like Odor, but he and Gleyber impressed me last night by taking what they were given. This team presses too much. They're way too talented to not hit, but not every swing needs to put a ball in the seats.
Also, it's time Higgy gets more starts. Gary needs a "rehab" assignment from an "undisclosed injury."

Gary is 4th on the team in OPS after going 1 for his last 18. I’m down to start Higgy at catcher more, but only if you’re playing Gary at 1B or DH.

I love Gardner, but it's time to shake things up. Rotate Judge, Frazier, Andujar, and Florial in the outfield, with Gardner the 5th OF. Urshela, LaMahieu, Torres, and Gittens should start and have Wade off the bench. End the Odor experiment.

Umpiring is garbage in MLB. Frazier struck out after seeing 6 straight balls outside the zone. Then TB gets a free baserunner after running completely out of the baseline. Infuriating.

Agreed. And it's not consistently going against both.
You CANNOT take the bat out of Odor's hands like that and then squeeze Cessa the way he was getting squeezed. Good for Gary being demonstrative, you don't want your catcher jawing with the home plate umpire, but the circumstances certainly warranted this being an exception to that rule.

Guess they didn't need him to.
Anyway, my liking of the article is in relation to sending Cashman packing. I don't blame Boone as much as I do Cashman. Boone can only do so much, and a lot of what he does is predefined anyway.
-
I would have thought Cole would at least not be blatant tonight. Unless he already knows a punishment is coming and is going down swinging.
-
So I didn't read the NJ.com article because I don't have (and won't get) an insider subscription, but I did see the headline.
This is the first time I'm starting to come around towards Alio's line of thinking. Truthfully, I'd want a clean sweep of everyone, but this is the first time in Cash's tenure that I'm starting to wonder if he shouldn't be shown the door.

I did a shitty job of conveying the idea that if they're going to fire people, fire everyone. Cashman goes. Don't just fire Boone and give him another choice of manager.
Again, didn't say I'm on this bandwagon yet, but I'm closer to just wanting them to hit the reset button in terms of administration then I've been probably at any other point in Cashman's tenure.
As happy as I am that they're beating up on what is just an absolutely shitty Twins team, obvious statement is obvious but they're fucked if they don't improve their performance against the Rays and Red Sox.

You're honestly going to tell me you didn't see the discolored spot, right on the rim of his otherwise brand-new-looking cap, that he grabbed with his forefinger before every single pitch?
Of course, his spin rate wasn't statistically different. He was still using something.
On the same topic, it's going to be interesting to watch Chapman going forward. IIRC, his "tell" was licking his fingers, then rubbing his left thigh. I didn't notice him do that last night.
Another guy I'm curious to watch now is German. From what I've seen, his stuff has had a lot more movement this year than a couple of years ago.

FWIW, I read that SI article that ignited this inferno. It definitely was an eye-opener, but I still maintain that MLB should determine 1 single substance that's legal for grip, eg. sunscreen and rosin.
Ban anything else with a mandatory suspension if caught, but give these guys something they can use to get a reasonable grip. Even guys like Donaldson are okay with that.

I said it before Alio-this is the closest I've ever come to aligning with your position that Cashman needs to be run out on a rail.
This organization (and Hal deserves a lot of blame) has become content to be the 90's Braves. Hey if they win a title great! But as long as they make the post-season everyone is safe.
Unacceptable.

I read somewhere yesterday that Cashman said Severino was 4-6 weeks away from rehab and Kluber is looking at September. If Severino can come back in July, that would be great.
This is even better news:
Zack Britton (left hamstring) said that he expects to return in the minimum 10 days. The Yankees asked him to get an MRI but he does not believe he needs one.

Obviously, because what else would it be?
But that doesn't excuse that this looks like a bad peewee team out there on the bases and on defense--that's coaching, and this lineup is built to hit home runs or do nothing, all from the right side--that's the front office.
And there's no one in the minors to call on to bail this team out. I can just imagine the reactions Cashman must be getting when he calls about trades.
Cashman: "Hey, it's Brian from the Yanks."
Any MLB GM: "Is Judge available?"
Cashman: "Well...no, but practically anyone else is!"

Basically the same team that ran the bases and played defense the past few years and always won 100 games and made the playoffs

Not at all.
No matter your thoughts on Jeter/Didi, defensively they were worlds better than Gleyber, Miguel Andujar wasn't previously playing games in left field, and Brett Gardner is a shell of the average MLB player he once was.
This year, the vast majority of games at first were played by guys who were actively hurting the lineup and/or defense. Judge now has to play center field. Clint Frazier can do nothing right. Stanton is either red hot or ice-cold but is usually just nursing his strained cooter.
This is all ignoring that I've been complaining about the way this team is constructed for most of this millennium, so saying this is the same team that has won 100 games that don't raise trophies doesn't impress me anyway. This team is certainly underperforming, but even at its apex, it's an ALCS contender, and not much better. The Yankees contemporary organizational hitting mindset will always run into a brick wall in October.

Except Didi is batting .229, worth -0.6 WAR, and playing much worse defense than Gleyber this year. And he’s hurt. I’m not sure how he would have solved our problems.
Clint Frazier should have been an upgrade on Gardner as the full time LF, and hasn’t performed. That’s why Andujar is playing left and Gardner is exposed as a starter when he should be the 4th or 5th outfielder. Hicks, Gardner, and Frazier haven’t performed. Changing the manager doesn’t solve that issue.
Your last paragraph sounds like a lot of revisionist history. This team is constructed nothing like the post 2009 teams. Nothing. Out of curiosity, heading into the 2021 season, what teams were you picking to win the AL ahead of the Yankees?
-
A healthy Stanton is an absolute monster. Can you imagine how many runs this team could score if they can all stay relatively healthy?
DJLM 2B
Hicks CF
Judge RF
Stanton DH
Voit 1B
Sanchez C
Torres SS
Urshela 3B
Frazier LF

Honestly, Boone could trot out a different order of those guys every night and still there would be no one to pitch to in any spot in the order.
Lol, lol

We are 23rd in the league in runs and 29th in BA with RISP.

Andujar throwing to the wrong bag yesterday allowing notoriously fleet footed (lol) JD Martinez to advance to second base on a sac fly to left.
Voit allowing a runner to tag from third and score on a pop fly to first base/shallow right.
That excrement is on the manager. At some point these guys not being ready to play and lacking fundamentals has to fall on the coaching staff.

You can be a bottom five fielder and still be coached up as to the fundamentals of the game.
These aren't physical mistakes i.e. Andujar taking a shitty route to the ball which is going to happen and isn't on the manager. Voit being a shitty fielder has nothing to do with making that kind of mental mistake.
Boone has been forced to play Andujar at corner infield because of shitty roster construction, so its not all on him. Miggy playing left field every day can't all be blamed on injuries because if Gardy wasn't demonstratively shot and Frazier wasn't offering next to nothing in terms of production, there'd be no need to run Andujar out every day in left, horrible defense and all.

The Yankees are going to have to play around ~.667 ball the rest of the season to win around the ~95 games the 2nd wildcard is tracking to.
I don’t think there is a manager in existence that can provide that type of turnaround, especially midseason without an offseason routine. If they fire Boone mid season, they’re probably going with Carlos Mendoza or Phil Nevin for the rest of the year, who are definitely worse than Boone.
If the Yankees miss the playoffs, they should definitely fire Boone to get a fresh voice/start for next year. I wouldn’t really care if it happened at some point mid season to try and provide a spark, but their best hope imo is just to stay the course.

But the baserunning mistakes and atrocious fielding are functions of coaching. It would be one thing if I was saying it and the only person who agreed was Michael Kay, but even Cone and O'Neil agree that the coaching staff needs to be pushing practice on these guys, especially after the egregious blunders.

Depends on how he handles the rest of the season.
A) Buy
B) Sell
C) Do nothing of consequence
I would probably fire him if he did C.
If he went A and made some moves that allow us to compete down the stretch or set us up as a more complete team for next year, that would bode well for him.
If he goes B and sells, well I think that tells you that he probably knows he has a decent size leash with ownership.
I don’t know what this team can do outside of adding a contact oriented LH OF like Starling Marte. I think he’s a FA after this year and not sure he fixes a whole team full of problems. The Yankees are mostly stuck with the players they have, for now, outside of an unexpected trade.
I wouldn’t look to fire Cashman as I still think he’s a top 5-10 GM and they likely downgrade with his replacement. Similar to what I said about the Girardi situation. This year has not gone well for him, and he’s constructed a lineup of similar, one dimensional, unathletic/slow, undisciplined on basepaths, bad at defense collection of players. With no lefties. I trust him more than anyone else to right the ship though, I just have no idea what the approach would be. There are several times over the last few years where he’s been hamstrung by the teams self imposed salary cap.
All that said, this team was projected to win the AL at the beginning of the year and just hasn’t hit and that’s on the players.
-
Dylan Bundy adequately describing the way the Yankee season is going last night.
I wonder if they fire Boone and not Cashman if he gets the same amount of authority over the next coaching search. Boone was his guy. I don't see why he should be afforded total autonomy to pick his coach this time around, which lends to thinking a total clean break is best.
I know he's always had a hard-on for AJ Hinch who I have to assume would love to get out of Detroit, but who knows if they'd let him go.
There's a former Yankee captain who won Manager of the Year last year even if his team is now 33-44 (that Marlins roster is excrement), but I don't think there's any shot Cashman brings in Donnie Baseball.

Brian Cashman: “I’ve gotta call it like I see it: It’s pretty bad right now.”
Wow no way
Brian Cashman reiterated that he has faith in this #Yankees coaching staff:
"This is not an Aaron Boone problem. This is not a coaching staff problem ... We're not getting the results, and I'm the head of baseball operations, so that falls more on me."
Brian Cashman was asked about the potential of the Yankees being sellers at the trade deadline: “If we fall like a stone, then we have to regroup and reassess.”
Cashman said he doesn’t have a threshold in mind for what would qualify as falling like a stone.

A left-handed-hitting SS? Yeah, where would they ever find room for him?
I love Gio. After Judge, he's probably my favorite current Yankee. But you trade him, move Gleyber back to 2B, DJ to 3B, and get that bat in the lineup.
And FFS, DFA Odor.

I'm okay with him taking Clint or Gardner's job, but if it sends Odor packing and moves Gleyber back where he's defensively better, that's my preference.

Last night, top of the 9th, Ohtani was booking down the line trying to beat out an infield single. While Luke Voit just beat him to the bag for the out the ground-level reply showed Ohtani partially roll his right ankle as his foot hit the bag...just wondering if that was bugging him tonight, the reason being that they normally keep his bat in the lineup and move him out to right field (especially since Mike Trout's still out). Lastly, what the hell was he in the game in the 9th inning for when he was going to pitch the next day?

Lmao, Boone does that, we lose the game and everyone is complaining that we didn’t have one of our best players in the game for a scrub. No other manager is doing that either, get real.
It also doesn’t make Voit not a meathead or not terrible at defense, so you’ve solved nothing.

Grounded into 4 more double plays last night lmao

Ohtani is one of the most exciting hitters I've ever watched. Can you imagine if he'd have come here?
Yankees were originally favorites to land Ohtani as early as 2012 but he opted out (wanted west coast/smaller market).
However they could've had Cody Bellinger in the 2013 draft (to go with Aaron Judge). Imagine that lefty bat in the Bnx.

After the conversation he had with Kay, I think Ohtani was legitimately stunned/taken aback by the fan reaction and how badly everyone wanted him here.
Oh well. As I recall Yanks weren't even finalists given his preference to play on the west coast.
Time to sell. And time to seriously consider trading Gleiber to open up shortstop in order to take a run at Trevor Story. Given the prevalence of shortstops on big market teams (honestly the Angels seem to be the only big spender with a hole at the position and they need pitching more than anything), I don't think his contract is going to be as big as people think.
-
Blame the players that excrement their pants on the field instead of fishing for scapegoats!
Discipline is on the manager. Kay went out of his way to get Cone and O'Neil to agree with him the other night that there's nothing Boone could do to get these guys heads in the game. Both of them--former players--directly disputed him.
If guys are playing garbage defense, they belong on the field 6 hours before game time taking grounders and shagging flies. If guys are making tee-ball mistakes on the bases, get them out there doing running drills.
In fairness, Cone mentioned that players should be saying something to each other in the clubhouse too. But who is going to speak up from this group? It's Boone's job. What else is a manager there for?
And I do blame the players for being a bunch of clowns. But one clown put this circus together, and I've wanted him fired for almost as long as he's been in charge. 23 years, top-4 payroll in the sport, mostly top-1, 3 titles (1 coming in his rookie campaign with Stick's team). I've said it a million times, making the playoffs isn't a feat when you have this team's checkbook, it is--and should be--expected.
-
I completely understand Ohtani's preference for the west coast, and it's one thing I don't blame Cashman for. To his credit, I don't think there was anything else he could've done to entice him, short of offer part ownership of the team.
It just would've been nice to see that bat in Yankee stadium 90+ times between April and November.

It just would've been nice to see that bat in Yankee stadium 90+ times between April and November.
I agree, you can't put Ohtani on Cashman, he did what he could and when it didn't work out, went out and got Stanton. Which I still argue was a good move especially relative to cost (I'll take Stanton at $188 over 7 years).
I will continue to pound the table that extending Hicks to the contract they gave him was absurd, and bringing back Gardy this year especially given Schwarbers presence on the market was foolish. I don't agree with the idea that you can't have Stanton and Schwarber on the same team when they could've alternated playing left and DH'ing.

Steinbrenner said the "majority" of the blame for the Yankees rough start is on the players.
Hal Steinbrenner said that he is not "contemplating or even thinking about" the #Yankees being sellers ahead of the Trade Deadline.
Hal Steinbrenner said that he will “absolutely consider” exceeding the luxury tax if the Yankees need another piece to reach the playoffs.

Discipline is on the manager. Kay went out of his way to get Cone and O'Neil to agree with him the other night that there's nothing Boone could do to get these guys heads in the game. Both of them--former players--directly disputed him.
If guys are playing garbage defense, they belong on the field 6 hours before game time taking grounders and shagging flies. If guys are making tee-ball mistakes on the bases, get them out there doing running drills.
In fairness, Cone mentioned that players should be saying something to each other in the clubhouse too. But who is going to speak up from this group? It's Boone's job. What else is a manager there for?
And I do blame the players for being a bunch of clowns. But one clown put this circus together, and I've wanted him fired for almost as long as he's been in charge. 23 years, top-4 payroll in the sport, mostly top-1, 3 titles (1 coming in his rookie campaign with Stick's team). I've said it a million times, making the playoffs isn't a feat when you have this team's checkbook, it is--and should be--expected.
You can practice Andujar and Voit in the field all you want, they’re not going to become any better. They are not good fielders, and talent deficient in several areas at their respective positions. You don’t think Andujar already takes additional fielding? He has for years, from the minors, to when he lost his 3B job to Gio, to when he transitioned to OF. It’s just not a skill that appears will ever develop for him, just like his inability to take a walk.
“Guys speaking up in the locker room” or the “manager lighting a fire under their asses” are such tired cliches. You don’t think all of that has been said already? That these guys are just hanging out in the clubhouse, unaware they’re on a trajectory to miss the playoffs? It’s also not going to make them hit any better or stop grounding into double plays, that’s just not how it works unfortunately. The players have to hit, play better defense, and run the bases better. They don’t need any extra motivation.

Gardner signed a deal with a 2nd effectively dead year and counts something like $2M against the cap this year

Tyler Wade: 55 wRC+, 1 DRS in CF
Tim Locastro: 44 wRC+, -1 DRS in CF
Worse version of Tyler Wade and he hits righty
-
In 2019 Locastro batted .250/.357/.340, and stole 17 bases without being caught (bringing his career major league record to 22 stolen bases without being caught), leading the major leagues in stolen base percentage.[21] He had the fastest sprint speed of all major league players, at 30.8 feet/second.[22] He finished the season with a BABIP of .243 on ground balls. He also set the MLB record for most hit by pitches (22, or 8.8%) with fewer than 300 plate appearances, which in turn inflated his on base percentage (.357).[23]
In 2020 he batted .290/.395/.464 in 69 at bats with 15 runs, 2 home runs, 7 RBIs, and four stolen bases in four attempts, and was hit by pitches four times.[24] He had yet to record a caught stealing in his career. He had the fastest sprint speed of all major league players, at 30.7 feet/second.[25]
He’s very fast. Wade’s sprint speed is 29.2.

I wanted Schwarber for the LHB. Our gripe is with Hal.
I think we may have found our perfect middle ground for agreement.
More than anyone at fault is the guy who signs (or refuses to) the checks.
I'll certainly give Cashman a pass at least on that. Even if he wanted to bring in other guys, Hal wanted to pinch a few more pennies.

Hal pinching pennies forced us into the Ottavino trade (who is pitching really well), Gardner resigning, and passing up on Brantley/Schwarber.
Not to mention passing up on signing Harper or Machado a couple years ago under the premise that they needed to reset the luxury tax so they could go all in on signing players. Looks like that was a farce.
I can understand going into this season without going over the lux tax, because they had one of the top few rosters on paper, and there didn’t appear to be another juggernaut outside of the CWS, who were young, hadn’t won anything, and just signed LaRussa (managers largely don’t matter, Dusty Baker says hai). The Red Sox, Astros, Rays and Oakland are all performing way above their pre-season projections. We are performing way below.
So the difference is, you know all that now. So if there are moves to be made and they refuse to go over the tax, they aren’t serious about winning this year.

I wasn't against the Ottavino trade, but JFC, yeah, everything else is embarrassing.
I really wanted Machado, but not bringing in Harper was borderline criminal. And you're spot-on, that was Hal wanting to save money.
The only reason I ever didn't want Hal gone was because he would've sold the team to Dolan, and I never could've lived with that.

They both pitched 3 days in a row, Britton looks lost on the mound, and Chapman is about 8 pitches removed from the worst stretch of his career.
No.

Green can close that game. He didn’t. Sucks.
Not having Lasagna is killing us.
Not having all of the guys on the covid list for 7 games against Boston is absolute excrement luck and par for the course this season.

Yes, Green failed and that unexpectedly sucks too, but relying on Brooks Kriske? You deserve to lose.
Win the games you're in a position to win because tomorrow doesn't exist. But whatever. This team is a mirage. Just sell before the deadline. Buying just wastes talent that might be part of a future winner. This is not a team that will beat Boston, Tampa, and Houston in October.

Bringing in Kriske is a mail in the game move
Then they let him throw splitter after splitter after splitter after it was clear it was a guaranteed wild pitch and Brantly had less than zero percent chance to block it
Then they didn’t walk Renfroe to set up the DP
Then they didn’t go to Wilson (who freaking sucks) just to give it a different look since Kriske clearly was trying to lose the game
They mailed that one in after Chad blew it
-
On that day he was
Gut over analytics moment
Fair enough, at least you have a reason. He did mow down the heart of the RS order but it was like a 5 pitch sample size
Green is a far superior reliever this year and always, basic stats and analytics wise. He does have several brutal high leverage blown saves/losses.
-
I’ll stop being a douche in a sec but this makes it a very easy call for me
K-BB%
1) Cole: 28.7%
2) Green: 24.7%
…
12) Cessa: 8.7%
Green: 10.08 K/9; 1.80 BB/9
Cessa: 7.28 K/9; 3.99 BB/9
4 BB/9 is 100% untrustworthy reliever territory

Dude gets lit up by lefties though. But whatever. They gave up Park who the nerds decided will never be an MLB player.

Francisco Cervelli commented about analytics, and the article said it's not analytics that's the problem, it's the staff interpreting them. And that was a "excrement, that's spot on!" moment for me.
I've bitched about an overreliance on analytics so many times, but yeah. It's not the analytics--I even quote a lot of sabermetric data. The problem is that this team is garbage at making that information actionable data.
Can't wait to trade half the minor league system for Story en route to a wildcard play-in game that we lose.

All of the best, most consistent teams are the most highly analytical. Namely the Rays, Dodgers, and Astros. The Yankees haven’t been as successful as those teams in using analytics.

Did we just sell? Cessa and Wilson to the reds for a PTBNL
-
Yankees trade likely precursor to other moves. Wanted to clear 40-man spots. Did not consider Wilson and Cessa critical to playoff chances. Wilson also has $2.3M player option for 2022 that NYY will now escape. Team looking to upgrade bullpen, possibly add shortstop, LH bat.
- Rosenthal
Not ideal considering Cessa is the only one in the bullpen not actively blowing games right now. Addition by subtraction with Wilson.
-
So the Yankees have 2 spots open on the 26 man roster
Plenty of pitchers to call up from the 40 man roster. Only Oswald Perez and Florial in terms of position players
Maybe we get a bat today

Lefty
Fastball - 94
Sinker - 94
Slider - 85
Change - 88
Looks like the change might be his best pitch.
Dominated in the 2020 covid season as a Rangers setup guy.
Only 12.2 IP, but 2.13 ERA with a 12(!) K/9.
Bad walk rate.
Struggling this year.
Currently listed on Fangraphs as the Rangers 7th inning guy.
“Joely Rodriguez has been beat up by RHBs this year, but over last 2 seasons has faced 56 LHHs, allowed 0 HRs, .180 BAA/.488 OPS.”
-
If we can figure out Holmes and Rodriguez control issues, and either work on improving their platoon splits and/or using them more effectively against the same handed batters, the potential is definitely there.
-
I don't love the Gallo acquisition. Defensively, I like it, but the strikeouts are going to make me blisteringly angry.
But I'll give Cashman credit on this: he got a good deal. Keeping his best prospects and getting Texas to pay for it is good.
Since they're in buy mode, I'd say get Story now. But starting pitching is a big concern, as always. We really need Severino to come back as himself. I like Monty a lot, but not as the game 2 starter in a short series.
-
The Gardy party this year has turned into a drunk uncle who fell asleep on the couch 2 months ago and hasn't left yet. Gallo should be an improvement there at least.
I still don't think this is a team that gets out of the divisional series if they even get through the wildcard.

I’d also argue that this would be a good trade even if 2021 were a hopeless exercise; a real battle for the AL East crown in 2022 is the more valuable prize.
Now to reiterate, grabbing a postseason spot in 2021 is not a hopeless exercise for the Yankees. Gallo is a significant enough addition to give the team a bump of 11 percentage points in their playoff odds, from 29% to 40%, and that’s about as much as you’ll see from any realistic July trade.
-Dan Szymborski, senior writer for FanGraphs
-
“ The consequence is that the Yankees have a .698 OPS against right-handed pitching, their eighth-worst mark of the divisional era. They can still crush lefties — they have the second-best wRC+ in baseball against southpaws — but righties still make up the majority of pitchers. Plus, the current iteration of Yankee Stadium has always been a great park for lefty homers thanks to the short right field porch. That’s a nice fit for Gallo, a big launch angle guy who isn’t one for liners that just clear the wall.”

The Yankees are trading Alcantara and Vizcaino for Rizzo. The Cubs are picking up all of Rizzo’s remaining salary.

Strikeouts don’t matter though.
I couldn't disagree with you more, but this is a philosophical debate that I see no middle ground between us ever developing.
The Yankees are better today than yesterday, both in the outfield and at the plate. That's not going to stop me from blistering anger at every strikeout.
-
I feel like Rizzo is a pretty good move. I'll miss Voit (for the few games we have him each year). If they somehow get Story, which I doubt at this point, I assume the odd man out would be Urshela?
I really wish they'd find a starter though.

The Yankees improved their defense soooooo much with those last 2 trades
Rizzo leads MLB in Statcast's outs above average metric for first basemen this season.

On Cubs return for Rizzo:
Alcantara - 19 year old who has approx 8 career pro ball games
Vizcaino - 24 year old who’s been in the minors for 5 years and has a 4.95 era
Cashman did well to offer these guys. Alcantara has tremendous upside but won’t be anywhere near MLB ready until years from now. Vizcaino is a future reliever with some upside but also trending towards a possible bust.
Alcantara #12 Yankees prospect on BA and MLBPL, #7 on FG
Vizcaino #9 Yankees prospect on MLBPL

Rays 14, Yanks 0

Yankees in on Berrios
Along with Padres, Jays, Mets, Rays, Mariners
Another year of control in 2022.
“ As Jayson Stark just discussed on MLBN, if Yanks go after José Berríos, they'd have to give up a premium MiLB arm + 2 others. Who would that be? Gil? Schmidt? Plus who else would go (hopefully Voit since there's no place for him now)? Is Berríos worth giving them up?”
100% worth giving up Gil/Medina/Schmidt/Deivi (and I love Gil/Medina)
-
I would really like another reliever today. Preferably someone good enough to take some of the pressure off of our 4 best high leverage guys.
Kimbrel is unrealistic due to contract and cost.
Richard Rodriguez or Ian Kennedy are my preferred targets
Daniel Bard would be ok

We’re 9th in highest strikeout %, it could be worse.
It’s neutralized by our walk rate, #1 in the league.
Overall we’re 4th in BB/K ratio.

Everyone has good numbers against Marco. Going off the recent history of trash pitchers dominating us, he’ll probably shut us down.
Agree on the line.
It is deceiving with Wandy Peralta starting, with just a bullpen game the Yankees have a clear advantage. Just need Wandy to get through a couple non disaster innings.

As a little kid I got into the whole shoeless joe black sox story and would even go to the library to read any reference sources I could get my hands on, unbefitting what eventually turned into a 'stellar' C-minus academic career. Ray Liotta hitting right-handed (ugh) with a 'blonde' bat vs. Shoeless Joe's 'Black Betsy' (double ugh)...hollywood $screwup....last night MLB got it right with the palehose donning the old big 'S'ox logo....unfortunately the Nike swoosh spoiled the Yanks' unis (imho).

Provided they play him tonight and tomm, I think it’s just a bad pitching matchup for Stanton. Houck has a filthy slider with an absurd amount of horizontal break. Pretty sure that’s all Stanton would see if he faced him.
Need Rizzo back in the lineup tomorrow for Heandog Bumpday.

Considering the issues Boston has with depth in their rotation, for the life of me I haven't understood Cora's hesitancy to put him in the rotation full time. He has nasty stuff and has pitched effectively in a small sample size.

Luis Gil is the first pitcher in the Modern Era (since 1900) with 18+ K and 0 runs allowed in his first 3 career MLB games.
Luis Gil has become the first pitcher in MLB history to have a scoreless start in each of his first three career appearances
Luis Gil has a 15 2/3 inning scoreless streak to begin his career. That's the longest by a Yankees pitcher in the Expansion Era (since 1961), surpassing Joba Chamberlain's 15 1/3 inning streak.

I don’t think there is a manager in existence that can provide that type of turnaround, especially midseason without an offseason routine.

Volpe: I’m watching every night. I’ve been a die-hard my whole life. I feel kind of weird still being a fan. When they signed Gerrit Cole, my reaction was completely as a fan being happy that the Yankees have the best pitcher in baseball, not because one day I’ll be his teammate.

This team is a bag of excrement.
One great 2 week run then right back in the crapper.
It's so much fun to watch Gallo strikeout. And Stanton. And Sanchez. And Gleyber.
Good thing Cashman put so much effort into bringing in Gallo and Rizzo rather than wasting assets on Scherzer.

Stanton: (HR) 551+ mph bomb

Giancarlo Stanton with Yankees at Fenway Park
.395/.451/.691 (1.142) in 91 PA with 7 2B, 1 3B, 5 HR and 21 RBI
That's the best OPS by any Yankee all-time at Fenway Park (min. 50 PA)

Like a video game.
Wish we never wasted all that time covering him in bubble wrap. There aren't many guys in the prime of their career who want to be hitters-only.
And it's not like the overly protective nonsense worked anyway.

I don't think Boone was going to magically make the team hit, but when you consistently have baserunning issues all season, and you underachieve for four straight years, and the young hitters on the team regress, and you don't know how to manage a bullpen, it's hard to see a case why Boone should stay.
I think managers in baseball generally don't mean much, and Boone seems like a good guy and I wanted him to do well, but he's been here four years, and I'm not sure what he's good at as a manager.
He said after the game that the rest of the league has closed the gap. That's such an arrogant statement. The Yankees have been just another team for as long as Boone has been here. The Rays own them. The Red Sox have knocked his teams out twice. Saying there was ever a gap between the Yankees and anyone else annoyed me. There was a gap, but it was long before Boone arrived, and it closed a while ago.
-
We already went through this with Girardi. The Magic manager that makes the whole team play good doesn’t exist
I have no problem moving on from Boone but they need to make wholesale changes to this lineup and if that doesn’t happen I don’t care who the manager is

This was not a good team this year
Baserunning
Defense
Hitting with RISP
Bullpen blowups
All among the worst I’ve ever seen in a season by a Yankees team. They also just couldn’t freaking hit at all in general.
Judge and Stanton had great years. The starting pitching overall was excellent (Cole not up to snuff but dealt with the grip change, covid, and a hammy) and individual members of the BP were great (Luetge, Wandy, Lasagna, Holmes) but weren’t enough to mask the bad ones (Bad Chapman, 2nd half burnt out Chad Green, Darren ODay, Justin Wilson, Zach Britton, Kriske/Nick Nelson).
Loved what I saw from Gleyber once he switched to 2B. They need to figure out how to get his 2019 right center swing back and stop pulling off on everything.
DJLM going from a hit machine to bad and possibly injured all year was a giant blow. The offense ran through him the past 2 years, and he just didn’t hit at all this year.
Phil Nevin can’t be retained as the 3rd Base Coach. Consistently awful all year. Think they had the most outs on the bases and the most outs at home this year.

I don't know what to take from Gleyber. His power is completely gone, and if he can't play shortstop, that's a problem given LeMahieu's contract, which doesn't look good right now. I don't want to sell low on Gleyber, but I imagine Gleyber or Urshela gets replaced, if not both. Urshela could probably come back as a backup/swing infielder if they keep him. Torres has too much value for that theoretically.
I just know Boone has to go. Not sure it will fix much, but I've seen enough to know Boone isn't fixing anything. Only time I ever wanted a manager gone was Torre's last year.
And the lineup has to be shaken up. I don't know what will happen, but it's the same thing year after year. And the elephant in the room is Judge's contract.
-
Stanton last 2 postseasons has been an absolute monster. Both times, it's going to get forgotten because of how the seasons ended, but he came to play both postseasons. 7 HR in 8 games with an OPS over 1.4. Insane. Too bad he got zero help.
-
No elephant, pay Judge
-
No elephant, pay Judge
Given his injury concerns, and that the Yankees don't want to spend, I hate to say it, but it's a legit debate.
You're paying for the decline years of a big guy who has already had injury concerns, when you already have a corner outfielder in Stanton who is a very similar player profile. Hard to pay both, especially at the back end when one or both will likely need to DH.
At the same time, you're the Yankees, you make more money than any other team in the USA, open your damn wallet and act like you want to win. There's no salary cap.
-
Middle infield/shortstop seems like the obvious place to address, which could put Gleyber out of business.
At the same time, if Anthony Volpe could be ready by 2023, giving a huge long-term deal to a shortstop probably isn't necessary. Maybe they can overpay someone on a short-term deal. I don't know.
-
With the exception of the starting 5, and that assumes they all come back healthy, this team is a freaking mess next year. Who plays center? A 32 year old always injured Aaron Hicks? What do you do with Gallo and Torres? Can you expect a return to form from DJ or Chappy? Can they rely on Voit and if they do, how are they not in the same boat of having too right handed a lineup?

I'd be shocked if Voit is back. He seems like the obvious guy to move on from.
I assume Hicks is in center, but obviously they need to bring in someone else given Hicks' constant issues.
-
Starling Marte would be a great signing for CF but no way they do that
-
Hicks ideally would be the 4th OF. Can’t trust him to play every day.

I think Gleyber is the 2022 2B and Gallo is the 2022 LF
Gotta hope DJLM was hurt for most of this year and that’s why he looked so bad
Chapman has lost his control at times and regained it. After his blowup on July 4th, he had a 1.95 ERA with 48 Ks over 27.2 IP to end the season.
Voit looks like the odd man out, but the problem is you they didn’t get a great offer for him at the trade deadline. I don’t see the point in giving him away for nothing.
-
Locks for next year:
C:
1B:
2B:
SS:
3B:
LF:
CF:
RF: Judge
DH: Stanton
DJLM but idk where he’ll play
-
Full team
C: Gary - 1 year Arb
1B:
2B: Gleyber - 3 Years Arb
SS:
3B: Gio - 2 years Arb
LF: Gallo - 1 year Arb
CF:
RF: Judge
DH: Stanton
DJLM - 5 years
Bench
Voit - 3 years arb
Hicks - 4 years 40 Mill
In Order of likelihood they move on from to create a lineup shakeup (IMO)
1) Voit
2) Gary (catcher market looks bleak though)
3) Gio
4) Gallo (need to be replacing him with an upgrade, who is it?)
5) Gleyber (return on trade probably isnt worth the tradeoff of trying to salvage Gleyber, still just 24 and cost controlled)
6) Hicks - would be a salary dump, so just addition by subtraction
-
Wonder how likely Rizzo is to return.

We need a SS, CF, and 1B out of Free Agency, unless there’s some radical roster moves

Unfortunately, unless they really feel like breaking the bank (and I still think him leaving Atlanta is a long shot), it looks as though past Freddie Freeman, first base is incredibly thin.
Terrific analysis these last couple of posts though, not much in the way to disagree with.
I think THE question to ask re: SS is whether or not they feel as though Peraza or Volpe will be ready by 2023, or whether it;s worth the major investment to bring in a guy like Seager, Story, Correia, etc.
Andrelton Simmons could be had on a 1 yr deal if they feel as though they just want to have someone hold the fort.

Yeah I read a quote a few weeks ago there’s no chance Atlanta lets him leave which stinks because he’s a perfect fit.
I would take Rizzo back in a heartbeat and wouldn’t mind Schwarber either
Volpe still is a while away but it would be interesting to see if they don’t go all in on a SS because they think he’s ready sooner.

I would LOVE to have Schwarber and think it's pretty demonstrative at this point that Cashman failing to acquire him either in FA or at the deadline was his biggest mistake this year. If he can play first, he's the natural signing.
I loved Rizzo's limited time here, love the guy as a gamer and someone who seems like an all around class act, but I'm very worried that he's at the beginning of a decline.

His Patreon content is quite good. Miss RAB so much.
Here was a snippet from his postgame writeup, where he also called hiring Boone Cashman's biggest mistake, which is a bold statement.
"The Yankees had a Ferrari in 2017 and they gave the keys to a 16-year-old who just got his learner’s permit because he sweet talked them during the interview, and now it’s banged up and we’re wondering whether it can be salvaged. The question is not should the Yankees fire Boone. Of course they should. The question is do any other teams even bother to interview him?"

I must admit I'd have been content to just keep Girardi.

Look, I wanted to like Boone. I defended him for most of this year. But this can't continue. And at this point, I admit part of it is just wanting blood.
But Boone has been an average at best in-game manager (and I would argue below average). He was brought in because they didn't think Girardi could manage and develop the young players. Instead, our promising young players have mostly fallen by the wayside under Boone's watch.
I don't think it's all Boone's fault. I don't think firing Boone will end up fixing much. But the Yankees have been complacent, and it shows with the "the league has closed the gap on us." There was never a gap to begin with. And at this point, we're looking up at the Rays in the standings, the Red Sox just knocked us out (again), and the Blue Jays are on the come-up.
I know you're trying to play contrarian, but do you want Boone back?
-
Girardi is out as Yankee manager
This is an awful move by the Yankees. I knew it was bad news coming last night when I read that he left the Stadium in a clearly bad mood and refused to talk to reporters.
Who could Cashman possibly have in mind that will do a better job than Girardi did this year?
There is no one on the market better. Very dumb move, hope it doesn’t bite them in the derriere.
Good times. Alio complained about Girardi non-stop up until this moment.
-
Nice job digging for those.

I’m worried they’ll fire Boone to appease the fans and run the same team back out there with new packaging.
I’d rather they acknowledge and attack the root causes of the issues with this team. Aaron Boone has been the 3rd, maybe 4th reason they haven’t been as successful as they could have during his time here. That’s just my opinion.
Could they upgrade at manager? Sure, maybe. I never wanted him hired and have no attachment to him. I don’t think he’s a good manager, but I think he isn’t nearly as bad as everyone makes him out to be. The manager is just an easy guy to blame when the players fail. I’ve said on here that I’m of the belief that baseball managers don’t have as big of an effect on the game as people think. A bad one might cost you a few wins over the course of the season, max. Dave Roberts is a terrible manager and the Dodgers have finished in first place every year but this season.
The funniest part about this whole saga is that everyone that wants him fired has no idea who to replace him with other than the mythical idea of a Buck Showalter. Just like when Girardi was replaced, everyone was content with “anyone else”. Let me know who that is and then we can have a conversation about whether it’s a good idea or not.
-
My biggest problem with Boone right now is Phil Nevin and Marcus Thames
Nevin cannot continue to coach third and we need a new approach at the plate

Can't really argue with any of these points, and I agree with most of it.
I'm not one of those guys who just says "Bring in Buck and Mattingly."
I'm fine with Beltran or whoever ends up being the replacement until they show me they aren't capable. As a fan, I don't know if any of us can have realistic conversation on whether or not a guy is a good hire, unless he's been a manager before.

I wanted Beltran the first time around, but as you pointed out he’s another manager with no experience. “Good” managers don’t really ever become available.
Again, you’re not considering the possibility that we downgrade from Boone. Maybe you don’t think that’s actually possible, maybe for you it’s worth the risk to make a change.
I honestly don’t feel too strongly one way or another. If Boone is let go I want to see a strong candidate pool though. I hated that after they got rid of Girardi they came up with a super weak pool of replacement candidates. Kinda hinted to me that they were making that plan up as they went.

I think Boone is a symbol of the complacency of this team the last few years. I was glad Cashman got Rizzo and Gallo at the deadline to finally add some left-handed power and shake up the roster a bit.
And I'm willing to risk a downgrade. Todd Bowles was a bad head coach. Just because Adam Gase was a worse head coach doesn't mean we should have kept Bowles.

LOL.

Same

I'm actually all about bringing in Buck. I know he's ornery, old and grates on players, but he's also a demonstrated winner and has a history with the franchise. He knows how to manage pitching staffs, and he knows how to get the best out of young talent.
As much as I absolutely love Mattingly, three points against his candidacy;
1. I'm not paying Miami any sort of meaningful compensation to get them to let him go.
2. He can't manage a freaking pen to save his life which is the exact issue I had with Boone.
3. (I tend to think this is overrated, but still), Have fun firing an absolute club legend.
-

We should have kept Rex and Sanchez though. Could have done that until the year Mark retired (2019) and not been any worse off than the reality.

Re: Setting the lineup
“These differences are for the most part approximately 0.02 runs per plate appearance at most. Over the course of an entire season, or around 700 PA, that equates to 1.4 runs gained. Over the course of a season, with proper lineup optimization, a team has the chance to gain approximately 10 to 15 runs.”

Re: In Game decisions
“ In the essential 2006 book Baseball Between the Numbers, analyst James Click tried to tease some signs of managerial impact out of the statistical record but came up empty. After examining the measurable impact of in-game strategies (bunting, stolen bases, intentional walks), wins and losses relative to run differential, playing time distribution, in-game substitutions (pinch-hitters, relief pitchers, and defensive replacements), and direct impact on player performance (coaching), Click was unable to find evidence of a repeatable skill in any one of those five areas for any of the 456 managers he studied. That is to say that, much like clutch hitting, individual performances varied so much from season to season that the results appeared to be as much the result of chance as anything else.
…
It's interesting to note, however, that Click's 2006 study did make one relatively firm conclusion regarding the impact of certain in-game decisions. "Only six times in thirty-three years has any manager used sacrifice attempts, stolen base attempts, and intentional walks to increase his team's win expectation over an entire season. Even the best managers cost their team more than a game per season by employing these tactics. At worst they can cost a team three games per season." Over multiple seasons, no manager employed those tactics for a positive effect.“
Fun fact, James Click is now the Astros GM. Started as an intern at BP. Cool journey.

Even the best managers cost their team more than a game per season by employing these tactics. At worst they can cost a team three games per season." Over multiple seasons, no manager employed those tactics for a positive effect.“
Fun fact, James Click is now the Astros GM. Started as an intern at BP. Cool journey.
I don't disagree, but I need a sacrifice and I need it now.
If that is the only change, and they just do that to appease the fanbase and don't change anything else, then yes, they're screwing up.
And if they keep Boone, then the heat is squarely on Cashman next season.

I think the biggest reason for getting rid of Boone is the “new voice”/“new set of eyes on the problem” aspect. Also possible that some players have gotten to complacent under Boone. I don’t prescribe to the idea that guys like Gary and Gleyber need motivation/coaching from the manager to start hitting and playing better defense. These guys are well aware they’re playing for their jobs and possibly their big payday/contract.

I hate that you're being rational about managers and telling me most of the things I know and typically believe.

If only you had some way of making that decision.
