Jetlife33 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Getting a little space in the AL EAST Can't wait till next week, they come out by me. Already got tickets for Tuesday, may go on Wed too. Great series for the bombers, thoughts on the Yankees dwindling Sanchez? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirorob Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Great series for the bombers, thoughts on the Yankees dwindling Sanchez? I could see it, them dangling (not dwindling ). Unless after Tex leaves they want to move McCann to first. He'll be 33, and I don't know how much longer he can catch 130 games or so. I don't really know what they can get. They don't really need a #4 type starter, maybe another BP arm. The key to them is health, and Girardi being able to give guys like Gardner a day off once in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a lesser prospect than Jesus Montero was but a better prospect than Peter O'Brien. He could get us something of real quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Nice to hear that the Yanks have "sworn off" trading their top tier prospects. I'm cool with trading Sanchez as long as it's a real quality piece. Sanchez can be a monster at the plate one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Sanchez, 22, is hitting .262/.322/.480 (129 wRC+) overall this season with 15 doubles and 13 home runs in 273 plate appearances with Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could get us something of real quality. I'm not against moving him, they have a decent chance this year to do something. The good bullpen is great for playoffs. Man, when Tanaka is on. 7 innings, 90 pitches, with 7 strikeouts. So efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flipped back and was surprised to see him out there for the 8th 7 innings, 1 run, 90ish pitches, history of a tender elbow? Call it a day and get rested up for Texas heat.

Jetlife33 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 The Yankees are looking at both second base and top rotation candidates, says Heyman, but don’t feel a pressing need to add in either area.

Hughes is a decent pitcher who does well in Target field because he's a fly ball pitcher in the Grand Canyon Target Field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is good. I actually like the larger fields, over the course of a season, I think it is a huge advantage to your pitching staff, allows your starters to go longer, and saves your bullpen.

It's a shame he destroyed his own legacy. Sad part is he never even needed the juice. Best player of his generation and one of the best of all time.

Yeah but depends on the kind of pitcher and the lineup he faces. The mets have zero offense in citified because they keep signing power hitters like Bay and Granderson when they should only be going after gap hitters.

Bonds, Arod, Clemens would all be in the hall of fame if they never touched steroids but they did it because everyone else was 1995-2010 and ESPN gave Sosa and McGwire the best bj ever in 1998. ESPN deserves a huge share of the blame for the steroid era their "journalists" played the I'm stupid card for 10 years while a majority of players in all team rosters were engaged in some form of PED's.

Unless a journalist was putting a needle in a players butt, how exactly are they to blame? Should they have investigated a little more? Sure, but not a lot was known about PEDs at the time and the rules about using them until 2004 were flawed and incomplete. Even if they exposed some vast ring of everyone doing steroids, what would have changed that hasn't already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN deserves a huge share of the blame for the steroid era their "journalists" played the I'm stupid card for 10 years while a majority of players in all team rosters were engaged in some form of PED's. Bonds' story is pretty much out there. He went 500/500 for his career, the first ever. 500 HR, 500 stolen bases, and no one cared because of Big Mac and Sosa. So he said, "fine, you want to see what steroids can do... here you go". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
