New York Yankees Official Thread - at O’s, 19-10

[dblplay1212]

I don’t think it’s an obsession, but it’d be nice to every now and then. All these teams that have won recently, or even appeared in the World Series, their rotations were mostly built from their system:

Astros each of the seasons they appeared in the World Series had 3-4 starters from their rotation they developed.

Diamondbacks had 4 starters.

Phillies had 3 starters

Braves had 3 starters.

Tampa had 3 starters.

Literally the whole Dodgers rotation.

Washington had 2.

Rangers and Cubs had at least 1.

Last time we won one we at least had 1 with Pettitte.

Who’s the last starter besides him that actually had sustained success and longevity with this team? Don’t get me wrong, I’d trade any of those guys (not necessarily all though) for a talent like Soto. Would have done it yesterday. But at some point we have to develop that as well. We can’t keep handing out huge contracts (Rodon - I hope he bounces back) and off loading prospects (Montas) and hope they work out. Could allocate those resources to upgrading an offense that has been really great outside of Judge.

Yea it's one of those things that would be awesome to do but we've sucked at it for 20 years so I'd put my money on Soto being better than any SP we develop. Gotta be honest with ourselves.

 

[g-time]

Yea I’m not saying don’t go get him. I’m all for it. Just at some point we’re going to have to be able to do it.

 

[donewithjs]

You already know those prospects will be included in Sonny Grey, Montas type trades within 18 months if we cheap out on them in a Soto trade.

 

[onewearz]

i swear on everything if we lose Soto cause Cash wants to hoard prospects i'm gonna ....

do nothing but complain for a loooong time and watch every game with a frown ...

Cashman's dancin with the devil now

 

[T0INE]

"Steve ***"

 

[onewearz]

 

[essential1]

Absolutely can’t allow an AL East team to get him.

Soto
Judge
And whatever combo of Rizzo, G and Gleyber

Is a really good 2-6

Volpe gets to sink or Swim at leadoff

Then 7-8-9 is a final year of Trevino, Peraza or DJ and whoever is at Center until Martian is back.

 

[Coupé It]

Idk why you guys are so confident Soto would re-sign.

This is a rental.

I'd hope they work out an extension prior to trading for him but Cashman probably going to Yolo it.

 

[onewearz]

we gotta get Soto, i'd be so pissed if the Yanks zipped up their pockets and watched him go to the Jays. then they bring up one of these super prospects that bat .140

i remember Phil Hughes was one guy they never wanted to trade and swore he'd have no room in his house for cy young's. anybody know what Applebees he works at now ?

$81m worth of Appletini’s baybee

 

[Coupé It]

Soto is going into Free Agency.

And some team (at least 2-3) will totally outbid us.

He’s following the money. That’s who he is.

He’s not going to the ****ing Jays. That’s bull****.

But you guys need to think real hard and deep about our future right now.

 

[onewearz]

he's already clean shaven , HE'S READY TO BE A YANKEE !!!

so is the other guy

 

[donewithjs]

You’re losing it right now

 

[onewearz]

Volpe
Judge
Soto
Stanton
Dominguez
Rizzo
Gleyber
DJ
Trevino

 

[Coupé It]

You’re losing it right now

I don’t know where you guys are getting this confidence that Soto is going to re-sign.

I need to know where this is coming from.

 

[mrdozo]

It doesn't matter where he's playing in 2024 because he's going into free agency at seasons end. He's a Scott Boras client, it's what they all do.

 

[Coupé It]

And he’ll probably go to the Mets because they’ll pay more and he’ll like NYC…

And the onewearz will be in here crying for 8 years.

Phillip & Joba were supposed to be our 1-2 homegrown punch

 

[air spider 777]

Phil Hughes....man havent heard that name in a while. My pops used to call him the bartender bc the amt of shots he gave up.

 

[jrp44]

Didn't he have a perfect game or no hitter going into like the 8th and then got injured again?


Anyone remember P proshares boy, Ian Kennedy?

 

[donewithjs]

Greg Bird Groupies were annoying too

 

[essential1]

Not again

2008 was a time

Hughes - Joba - Kennedy were really supposed to be THEM followed up by Adam Warren, David Phelps & DJ Mitchell!

Remember Ivan Nova?!
