SMC Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Brutal loss of Torres, but at least he's not a pitcher and its his non-throwing arm. He should be back for spring training next year. Heck, he could be ready for the Fall League. The thing is, this losing streak and the loss of Torres puts this season back in perspective. Cashman isn't going to give up the kids for a quick fix.

I have been starting to enjoy the Yanks again and was looking forward to seeing that kid play. When was the last time that happened to someone not throwing a ball? How long will he be out for with that? I know a pitcher, 12-18 months, but it's non throwing. How does that affect his swing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All your power as a hitter comes from your core, back and wrists. Let the kid recover and sit he wasn't probably going to get called up until middle of next season anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Yanks may be living a bit of charmed life here. They're reeling from a 6 game losing streak and the rash of injuries, but the Sawx lost again last night, this time against the Royals, and remain .5 game back and the Yanks are up 2 in the loss column. If they can right the ship now with this homestand they should still be in 1st place by the All-Star break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebMD has a good article on this, but mainly about pitchers. http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/tommy-john-surgery-ucl-reconstruction#1 Torres will avoid Phase III of recovery because that has to do with the throwing program. The first 2 phases are 4 to 5 months, so there is a possibility that he could play in the Fall League in December/January before Spring Training starts in February 2018.

NoBowles Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Ive never seen a player improve so much from the minors to the majors as Judge has done. Has anyone ever done anything like this before? Usually the majors are much harder than the minors, being much better pitching and all. I really hope he doesn't get busted for PED's. Is there any chance he's not using them??

Plus, he changed is stance from last year and shortened his swing. Anyone who follows the Yanks would know that and see the difference from last year.

gqxluvx Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Was at the game last night, the whole stadium was groaning as soon as Clippard came in to pitch the 7th. Clippard has single handedly cost them 5 games. Yanks were due for a losing streak but I wasnt expecting them to lost the bad teams like the Angels and A's.

SMC Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It looks like the June Swoon has hit the Yanks (the older Yankee fans will remember that from the Donnie Baseball Era). It's funny how the 162 season is the great equalizer in sports and will always expose a team's weaknesses. Going into the season the biggest question mark was the starting rotation and we fooled a bit into a false sense of security as the staff overperformed. Now there is a "market correction" and the staff has come down to earth. The bullpen is still solid mainly because it is just Clippard who is underperforming. We still have a month away before the trade deadline. If the Yanks fall more out of first by then I am steadfastly against making a move to try to get this team to the postseason. Cahsman has been smart enough to see the long term plan and I believe he'll stick with that. There's no frontline starter available so trading a blue chip prospect for a No. 2 or No. 3 starter would be a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper and Machado won't be FA until 2019, so a lot can happen by then. Jose Fernandez (RIP) if he had lived and was drug free would have been the perfect FA pursuit.

SMC Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Regression to the mean for a lot of the lineup, except Judge and Sanchez, who are legit young stars. I don't believe Cashman will give up top prospects to salvage this season if it comes to that. He didn't do that a couple of seasons ago so he wouldn't do it now. BTW, at the time, the deal on the table was Severino, Judge and Sanchez for Upton and Heyward from Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
