The OFFICIAL 2020 New York Yankees Thread

Yeah, that's fair too. I just think if you look at the number of injuries, and the large number of muscle-related issues, you have to wonder if there was too much emphasis on the strength side and not enough on the conditioning. Torn ligaments and broken bones are hard-luck injuries that happen at random. Tearing a bicep, or pec, or core muscles you'd think are more avoidable.

I think part of that issue lies with the type of roster we have - Judge, Stanton, Voit, Gary are probably more prone to muscle injury than Tyler Wade or Gio Urshela

That's also really fair.

I guess, unless they have a ton of muscle injuries even next year with a new staff, there's never really going to be a definitive answer.

I just hope they stay relatively healthy and get those early November parades going again.

Yanks acquire a decent middle infield prospect for Chance Adams.

The guy they acquired is ugly as excrement, therefore he will not be good.

That's actually pretty cool since they DFA'd Adams recently and would've just lost him for nothing otherwise.

Sucks that Adams joins the likes of Hughes and Joba and Baneulos as highly touted prospects that just could never get it all figured out.

How's his hairline though?

Wow, I actually know who this guy is. Been reading articles on his website for years. He's quite literally one of the best in the business, idk if he's worked for a team before. Has plenty of star clients.

Yanks sign Chris Ianetta and Nick Tropeano to ML deals w/invitations to Spring Training.

I like Tropeano as organizational depth and the first guy up at SWB in case they need a spot starter. Especially with Happ still on the roster I can't see him winning a job on this staff out of the gate though (figure its going to go Cole-Sevvy-Paxton-Tanaka-Happ with German coming back in June and Montgomery also waiting in the wings as an option).

I would assume Ianetta vs. Hishi will be one of the stories of spring training.

Yankees are about to lose millions in this devastating lawsuit https://www.nj.com/yankees/2020/01/in-bizarre-lawsuit-yankees-failed-prospect-says-derek-jeter-ruined-his-career.html

Other than the obviously Merry Colemas, this has been a pretty boring offseason. Granted, Cole is a monster fish to catch, but I feel like they still need another big splash.

I resubmit my call to trade for Nolan Arenado. I'd like to steal away Hader too, but Arenado makes this team unbeatable, I think.

RF Judge
2B LaMahieu
3B Arenado
SS Torres
DH Stanton
C Sanchez
1B Voit/Ford
LF Tauchman
CF Gardner

Rotation: Cole, Severino, Tanaka, Paxton, Happ/German/Montgomery
Pen: Chapman, Britton, Ottavino, Kahnle, Green, Loaisiga, Cessa, Holder
Bench: Urshela, Estrada
Backup catcher: Higashioka

That leaves the new extra roster spot up for grabs between Deivi Garcia, Tarpley, or Heller.
