Let’s move on, 5 years ain’t good for Benny

 

[essential1]

Looks like they’re not in on Conforto. (Rosenthal said Mets, Astros, Rangers, Marlins)

Oswaldo in LF it is.

Or for some reason trade for Max Kepler and keep the streak of bad trades with the Twins.

 

[アミーゴ]

Looking forward to the kid in left

Let’s get a damn 3B and get this bum off the roster

We can’t run it back with the same lineup

Yea 2005 we were at $208m and next was the Sox at $123m. Our payroll has barely increased in almost 20 years while everyone else caught up. It's shameful, tbh.

George got it. He got a ton of money from fans and poured it all back into the club to win games. He was a freaking god in the city. Everyone loved him even if he was pretty ****ty in some ways. An extra $100m a year when you're dealing with a $6-7b assets is peanuts. Just ****ing spend it, I promise you'll make it back on the back end.

Looking at this makes me mad:

the problem with Hal is hes not the boss we all knew and loved....hes chairman answering to the partners(family and non-family) with their hands out for a ta$te..
with george he probably charged his kids $ to attend games and told his partners to worry about their money making businesses and leave the yankees to him

good to see money being spent.....for me, wasnt acceptable to be highest payroll in baseball just once in past 6 years

hopefully Rodon is healthy for many playoff runs

I'd have taken him at this cost.

 

[g-time]

He’s more of a DH now. Don’t know if he’d fit on the field if they want Stanton getting most of the DH reps.

Yea I'd DH him and play Stanton in LF. I'll take that over Stanton at DH at whatever we run out in LF. $10m for a potential elite bat is great value. He was down last year but he's only 34 so I'd expect him to bounce back.

 

[essential1]

I probably would have offered him $20mil for a 1 year deal.

 

[Beans]

Agreed. If we lacking in left you put Stanton out there and you go after J.D….. but don’t listen to me. I want us to sign EVERYONE

Caught lurking the Yankees thread

Help me settle an argument here on a boring Monday at work . I said the Yanks should retire Matsui's 55 just because. He won a chip, defense was A1, first Japanese player for the Yanks ( i think ) and was clutch



And had one of the coolest nicknames

Give Godzilla his flowers ...

Na. If we retired the # for every solid player than won a chip, we'd be in triple digit uniform numbers by now.

Hideki Irabu was our first Japenese player, iirc.

And his defense was really bad lol.

 

[onewearz]

Forgot about Irabu.

I don't even know how to read those stats

Just going by what i remember. I do agree about too many retired #'s but to me he was awesome. Maybe I'm really too bored at work

 

[g-time]

I’d be ok with that. Loved him when he was here. Swing was made for that short porch.

Short answer is positive numbers are good, negative numbers are bad. I could be off on this but I remember him as someone that didn't make a lot of errors but that's bc he was slow and got terrible jumps so he didn't get to many balls to be even have a chance to make an error lol. I love him, but Jeter was the same way. Just no range at all. To the eye they look like good defenders bc you never see them drop anything but once you plot balls on a field and see who got to what you realize some guys track down waaaaay more.

Def

Defense (Def) is the combination of two important factors of defensive performance: value relative to positional average (fielding runs) and positional value relative to other positions (positional…

I'd agree with Matsui having his number retired. Loved him on the team, and 09 post season run was incredible.

 

[dblplay1212]

Yall's bar waaaay too low imo. I wouldn't have Jorge, Pettitte, or Bernie retired either though tbh.

 

[アミーゴ]

Let’s get this trade banter going - not hearing much other than looking to the D’Backs

Disrespect of Bernie won’t be tolerated.

 

[g-time]

Yea I’m not with that. Bernie def should. Petite should too. Doesn’t he still own the postseason record for most wins still? Those guys definitely should have their’s retired for the parts they played during their careers with us and their postseason contributions.

 

[Beans]

I love Jorge but not sure he should be retired.. feel like it was obligated since him and jeet were the last two from those teams. If that makes sense.

 

[onewearz]

That core 4 all deserved it. Stats didn't count for those guys. Those guys won, won big games and showed up.

Pettite was money come playoff time

Bernie carried us in 96 and played gold glove defense ( don't gimme any stats i don't understand either )

Everyone says Posada kept that locker room in check, even gettin in Clemens face. He was Jeter's enforcer. No way u can say he didn't deserve that. And he was part of the flip play

Nevermind Mo, but to me all of em played huge parts in us winning, stats aside. And they were ours, not bought

Still bored at work , had time for pics and all that
