The problem is we won’t get German and Paxton back until the all star break very concerned about our rotation right now. Thank God we signed Cole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was on the roster and pitched the same way the Yankees are in the World Series. If German is legit: Cole - Tanaka - Paxton - Happ - German is a pretty damn good rotation.

I thought the Severino was a good extension. He was young, had just pitched 2 very good seasons, and had no health concerns. His arm then immediately falls off from the strain of signing the contract. Hicks was bizarre. Why give him 7 years? He has always been injury prone. Ellsbury is an all time bad contract.

I thought he was overpaid and they thought they were buying future years at a discount. Except he is always hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have acquired another starter this offseason if they had done the dye test earlier. Not to mention, what if they did the dye test after 2018 - when he was first reported as being hurt? Maybe he had the tear back then. If so, he would have been back this season. Cashman CONSISTENTLY undervalues the importance of both elite starting pitching AND depth. He is an overrated GM. He believes in acquiring sluggers more than elite starters. His track record over the last 15 years shows this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Is anyone else in disbelief that Gary Sanchez is still the Yankees catcher? The guy is ATROCIOUS behind the plate. Passed balls, poor framing, questionable pitch selection. He's not even a good hitter either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Sanchez was signed as a catcher when he was 16. The guy is what, 27 now? And he's still learning how to squat properly behind the plate, block balls and frame pitches. You cannot make this stuff up. This guy should have been dumped a year ago. He's a liability. Signing a stud like Cole and giving him Sanchez as a catcher is beyond ridiculous. This team would be better with just Romine and Higashioka. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my point. He hardly ever goes after the aces. Other teams trade for aces. HE HAS NEVER TRADED FOR AN ACE. What does he do? Hug his prospects, who are usually just corner outfielders and corner infielders, ie dime a dozen players that you can acquire in any free agency class for just dollars. Meanwhile the red sox get josh beckett, curt schilling and chris sale. The astros trade for Verlander, Cole and Greinke etc. When has Cashman ever traded for a legit #1 ace? NEVER. Because he doesnt put a #1 ace pitcher at the top of his to-do list. He'd rather trade for sluggers with holes in their swings like Stanton. This guy has been the GM of the NEW YORK YANKEES for over 20 years. He has delivered 1 championship the last 20 years. That is F'ING TERRIBLE. All those talented teams in the early mid-2000's - never won anything. After 2009 - nothing. Again, when was the last time the Yankees entered the season with the best starting staff on paper in the entire league???? It hasnt happened in God knows how long. Why? Because Cashman doesnt priortize starting pitching and having a legit top 5 starter on his team. Period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yanks play 19 games against the Orioles who lost 108 games, 19 against the Blue Jays who "only" lost 95. They play 6 games each against the power house Tigers who lost 114, and the scary Royals who went down 103 times. Throw in 6 more against the always great Mariners who dropped 94 and that makes 56 games, or35% of your schedule against AAA teams. Or, to ease the pain even more, 19% against teams that lost 100+ games. You could pitch Cole and the top four starters from Scranton and still win the division by 15 games. It's Friday, go have a cold one and relax. It's gonna be ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
