Sign Otani, keep Severino in the pen he only has a couple good pitches that's why he didn't pitch well as a starter Betances has been severely overused last few years. If we keep this up his career will be over in 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 JM #hottake: The Yankees should trade Betances. Their whole focus should be on replenishing their lineup and overall roster for a sustained run. Impact arms get hauls in trades, he is an impact arm, he's about to enter arb years where his value to the Yankees will be less than it is to an outright WS contender....If the Giants came offering Tyler Beede, Chris Shaw, and Lucious Fox - are the Yankees REALLY in a position to say no? I guess it's a tough call given how their youngsters closed out the year, but I think they should still be looking at 2018+ rather than 2017.

They have OF prospects, I like Didi, Castro is OK, we'll see if Bird is for real at 1B, Sanchez is fine at catcher. They need a real 3B, and starters. After next year, CC is gone (yes he's overpaid, but he still has value) and I think Tanaka can opt out. Do you give Tanaka a big money deal? He still has the elbow concern.

Everyone always needs more pitching. Even the teams that are so loaded with it, look at the Mets and Dodgers this season, end up not having enough. I believe teams should build up a lineup, pile up runs, let your pitchers coast, and life will be much easier for everyone top to bottom. That's basically what the 90s Yankees did - outside of Pettitte they didn't exactly pump out in-house pitching, but brought in a who's who of veteran arms via trade or FA without ever really commiting tons of years to them. I'm not sure about Tanaka, but it is probably best to let him bolt to LA or wherever if he opts out. Maybe its never a thing and they trade him at the deadline.

Morrissey Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Keith Law chat: Q: Hi Keith! Thanks for these chats! Regarding Gleybar Torres, 280/340/440 is that too optimistic for his prime? Can he be better then that? Keith Law: Better, I see a superstar. Q: At this point, is Senzel the obvious hitter you'd want from this last draft? KLAW: No, Rutherford is.

Morrissey Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Yankees are going to be so fun next year, even if they don't contend for a playoff spot. Sanchez, Judge, Bird all very likely to be everyday players. Clint Frazier, Gleybar Torres, Jose Mateo, and Dustin Fowler knocking on the door. Happy days ahead Yankee fans.

Of that group I <3 Sanchez and Torres, really really like Frazier, am confused by Judge and Mateo, and have no real opinion on Bird or Fowler. I still won't be surprised if Blake Rutherford puts himself into position for a callup in late 2018. He's going to be in that Sanchez/Torres group.

SenorGato Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 BA put out their Yankees' top 10 on the 28th....Torres took 1, obvy, and I'm overall impressed by the top 5. Loved Kaprelian in college and he's been exciting in the AFL, hitting 96-97 with command and a couple of above average offspeeds. Rurtherford took 3, and I really won't be shocked if he is one next year. Mateo's weird, ranked 4, but weird displaying some power and lots of speed is more interesting than not. http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/2017-new-york-yankees-top-10-prospects/#dHTFXWCzFMOeOQt8.97 Torres' writeup is there along with the list.

SenorGato Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Gleyber Torres in the AFL: .382/.500/.636 with like a 9% K rate in 68 PAs James Kapriellian has less impressive stats, but at least those include a K per inning and a K:BB over 3.

Scott Dierking Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 7 minutes ago, Maxman said: Would love to know what the cash considerations were. Hopefully the Yankees freed up some money here. Astros acquired C Brian McCann and cash considerations from the Yankees for RHPs Albert Abreu and Jorge Guzman. The two sides have been linked for a couple of weeks now and they were finally able to get a deal done. McCann also had to waive his no-trade clause. Per ESPN's Buster Olney, the Yankees will cover $11 million of the $34 million owed to McCann over the next two seasons. McCann, who turns 33 in February, is coming off a year where he batted .242/.335/.413 with 20 homers and 58 RBI in 492 plate appearances. He was slated to be the regular designated hitter in New York, but he'll presumably serve as the primary catcher in Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It frees up 23 million over the next two years and they got players back in return. Pretty good since the Yankees had to trade him due to the youth movement \ emergence of Sanchez.
