the amazing thing is that the big guns of the rebuild only showed up last year with Torres, Sheffield, and Frazier. the Yankees have always killed it in international FA, so it's no surprise they were able to find Sanchez and Severino my favorite is that the trade the Yankees made for Hideki Irabu back in 1999 eventually lead to the draft pick they used to select Judge

Better sign a sociopathic MVP to a record deal to repeat history. Who would this generation's A-Rod be?

I know we are all salivating over Judge and I admit he is way better and more exciting, but Mike "Moose", Mike "Career High 22 Home Runs", Mike "94 OPS+" Moustakas hit 2 dongs today giving him 17 home runs which puts him well ahead of Balboni's pace.

He's going to go on a ridiculous tear and get traded the day he gets to 35 obviously.

Day off tomorrow, figured he's all "Ok, we're not going to come back from this one, might as well TRY to get three outs and not use up the entirety of the 'pen." Still, we need to call up someone, or at least trade for a bullpen. Also Thames

Why haven't there been more giant power hitters? It seems like being very big and strong are good things to have as a baseball player.

bewbies posted:Why haven't there been more giant power hitters? It seems like being very big and strong are good things to have as a baseball player. I think the general idea is if your arms are too long it's hard to compact your swing and get the bat through the zone? I don't know, I just know that there aren't a lot of really tall guys who have been good.

1) Being MLB-level good at baseball is a < 1 in 1,000,000 quality. 2) Being taller than 6'6 is probably like 1 in 200 or so? 3) The intersection of these sets is small.

ihatepants posted:Think they are gonna sit him when Ellsbury is healthy again? He's currently got the 4th highest wRC+ in baseball (170) Given that he can play every single outfield position, they will likely cycle him between Left, Center, Right and DH as they rest Gardy, Ellsbury, Judge and Holliday. That's a good amount of playing time for him. Still you have to wonder what the Yankees are going to do with Ellsbury, who increasingly can't play center and is under contract for 3 more years.
