Unofficial ‘21-22 Yankees Offseason thread

Platooning 2 backups at catcher is pretty much never a good idea

What's Romine up to?

[SixFeetDeep]

Unfortunately he suffers from LaRon Landry syndrome and is too jacked to hit

Career (almost all minor league):

2017: 4 HR, .224 avg
2018: 5 HR .264 avg
2019: 7 HR .238
2021: 8 HR, .196 (98 Ab in majors where he hit .169 and was worth -0.1 WAR despite his strong defense)

The good:


The spin zone is that hopefully this is Cashman’s next uncut Gem in the mold of Hicks, Didi, Voit, Gio, etc. None of those guys hit a lick before they got here.

Seems like the way to fix this is to not sign stupid players.

No catcher on the MLB roster will be on this team in 5 years. Like SS, it feels like they're going with short-term band-aids to leave room for the future. Sanchez wore out his welcome him. Happy trails.

They do have an extremely legitimate top C prospect in Austin Wells

His defense is his biggest weak point lol

The Yankees have one of the highest vaccination rates in MLB and were among the first teams to hit the 85% threshold last year

Hopefully, they fix that. Yeah, I want a C who can hit. I want everyone to hit. But I want a catcher to be great behind the plate way more.

I don't recall where I heard it, but supposedly the entire "middle of the order" is a problem. Not gonna be good if Judge and Stanton are sitting home while the Yankees are fighting for playoff spots. Be hilarious if it was actually Gio and Gary though!

Hopefully this creates enough leverage to modify the mandate so it stops freaking up sports.

The fans and the road team are fine but the home team isn't?
