Intruder posted:Where do you move Judge then? Can't DH him unless you're just going to eat Stanton's money I think you can keep him in RF and start Soto in LF. But LF in Yankee Stadium is almost as cavernous as RF, so maybe you see what Soto can do in LF and move Judge there if he can't cover the ground. Then you platoon Verdugo with Stanton or just mainline DH him when Stanton's legs fall off, and rotate him as a fourth OF. After a day of mind-melting work I'm back to being very sure they're not gonna add another major piece anyway.

I just cannot imagine Judge sticking at CF. Maybe that's unfair of me but he just doesn't seem to fit the bill of a quick athletic outfielder, I know he's got a good arm though. Really the Yankees entire outfield if it's Judge/Verdugo/Soto is going to be rough defensively.

Hopefully the team ends up with Soto in left, JD in CF and Judge in right with Stanton at DH and Verdugo comes off the bench.

General Dog posted:I really wanted to put it at 200 but didn't want to seem like I was just being provocative. 200 or 250 doesn't make too much of a difference. It's still probably 2 seasons either way, just whether you think he gets hurt during one of the years. But 2 feels like a reasonable place to set the over/under. I think 3-4 years before transitioning out if his arm holds with the chance of a scary arm injury in the first couple years forcing the issue.

If we do the same exercise for O/U remaining lifetime innings for deGrom, it’s what, like 80?

Yankees finally learning the correct lesson from the Phillies. But also Judge has played 932 career innings in CF, and grades out around average there. I don't think it should be seen as his primary position long-term but this isn't like they're gonna spring it in him and he can't handle it. Edit: also this situation is absolutely for sure going to work itself out in rapid order. pseudodragon posted:200 or 250 doesn't make too much of a difference.

If/when a team decides Ohtani's pitching days are behind him, I wonder if that means they just let him play OF again. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Dec 7, 2023 |

If Jameson Taillon can throw 500 innings after having his second TJ surgery, I think Ohtani can get to 250.

You'd have to figure something out because if you're paying Ohtani $50m+ to just DH, ouch

The Bin Laden family owned a "small" investment in the firm from 1995-2001 when they liquified their position with the company for obvious reasons. That and the fact that George HW Bush was an advisor to the company made them a boogyman in Fahrenheit 911, and one of their former CEOs is current Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin.

Shohei Ohtani, who is cool, good, our friend and going to be a Cub next season, will pitch 1500 more innings. Also if a team decides it's time he doesn't pitch anymore he's just not going to play for them hth just SDMH at people looking at Ohtani and going "He can't keep getting away with this!!!"

Ohtani launching dongs into the bay would be fun but it does feel like largely a lateral move going from LAAAA to there

Morosi is on tv saying things like “momentum building towards Toronto” and “the Jays have improved their standing with Ohtani in recent days” Which I do not understand at all in the context of “no one is leaking anything about this process” so clearly that means it’s as good as done and he’s a Blue Jay
