Bellinger and the Cubs is a relationship that should continue. He has been an inconsistent performer and it really worked there. I could see him coming to the Yankees and being Joey Gallo 2.

STAC Goat posted:Boone’s job was safe the second Judge publicly supported him. Judge’s opinion matters much more than the screaming masses. basically everything I said about the team was right yet i'm trolling according to you heh. i will agree with you that manager doesn't matter that much but i don't see why the Yankees need to have a manager who is universally thought of as mediocre. there isn't anyone in the world who thinks that boone is a top half of the league manager and i don't see why the yankees shouldn't have one of the best managers in the sport but the organization is both incompetent and arrogant and it's likely they will change nothing in the way they do things because they legitimately think everything is going great.

Bringing in a bunch of McKinsey ghouls to tell management what they want to hear isn't really all that impressive to me. Sorry. The team hasn't been in the world series in 14 years so what i've been saying about the horrific way the team has been built in the last few years is pretty valid. They had literally no choice but to bring up young players in September. That is what every single team that is out of the playoffs does. They have made a clear choice not to start to turn over this roster for years and years of failure and for you to say that they can't remake the roster unless they sign Ohtani or Bellinger (which I'm against) is just completely foolish. They can clearly turn this roster over without signing either of those guys if they realy recognize that something is wrong with the way the team is built which I have no idea if they do or not. We'll see what they do.

STAC Goat posted:I would be genuinely curious as to what you think their path forward is beyond firing people. Other than Judge and Volpe they should dump as much of the rest of the lineup as possible including being willing to eat money to do it and attack the mid tier FA market and trade market trying to get as many lefty hitters as possible and don't prospect hug. I have no idea who is going to be available or not.

STAC Goat posted:That’s not actually a plan. What happens when you spend money unloading anyone who was productive and can’t actually sign or trade for better players? You just tank? And you’re doing that through the early years of your massive Judge contract or Cole/Rodon contracts? It's funny that you think that if the Yankees were tanking other than Cole and Judge that it would look all that much different from the 2023 season. There are no other productive hitters on the team other than Torres who they could probably get something for no matter what I think of him. mcmagic fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Oct 3, 2023 |

STAC Goat posted:If you’re looking for signs of hope from this season it’s very good second half performances from Torres and LaMahieu. Stanton seems broken physically. Hopefully Rizzo will recover but who knows? But you have to hope Torres and DJ keep it rolling. I think they’ll go after Bellinger and hope they get Dominguez mid season. But I don’t really see the other options available for them. So basically you want to run it back again and hope it works out better with maybe Bellinger who is a COLLOSSALLY risky signing. I'm sure that will work out.

STAC Goat posted:I want to address the problem from a productive angle instead of an angry one. Get younger and more athletic with the kids, improve where you can, re-evaluate your approach. Once again do you have something to offer other than “burn it all down”? What the hell are they burning down by getting rid of worthless players? They have to sign good mid tier FAs and make some good trades. That is what the GM is paid 8 million a year to do, no? MrMidnight posted:It's a much better plan than dump/sell everyone but Judge and Volpe and then try to compete with 29 other teams to fill in the other 7 spots. Who are they dumping in that scenario with even a positive VORP other than Torres? mcmagic fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Oct 3, 2023 |

STAC Goat posted:Yeah. If you could just turn a team over in one offseason a lot of teams would do it. It doesn’t work that way. Even with unlimited money. You work with what you have and what’s available. Stanton and Rizzo might be broken for good. So what do you do about that? Can you improve on that? Gleyber and DJ have shown productivity. Do you focus on what they are or what they’re not? Is there a better option? I have no idea who is available on the trade market which is going have to be a huge part of it. That is dumb speculation that I can't do because I'm not a GM and your contention that it's completely unrealistic to expect a GM to "make good trades" is just smooth brained. If you're a good GM, you find ways to make good trades!!! Cashman even used to make good trades from time to time.... back in the Bush administration. We all know who the good mid tier FA's are going to be. Guys like Candelario, Kiermeier, Pederson, Garver, Conforto, Rosario. I'd love to see them sign Justin Turner if he's available even though he's a righty.

I just listed a list of mid tier FA's they should look at. Should i make up trades like a sports talk radio caller? you don't as a fan have enough information to judge the trade market.

The got literally NOTHING from any position player other than Judge and Gleyber this season and I feel like the pitching was good enough at least to make the playoffs.... IDK if they can become a WS contender next year but they 100% can put a better product on the field than the dogshit we had to sit through in 2023 with a few smart trades/mid level FA signings. And more importantly being willing to eat money or include prospects to get rid of guys. mcmagic fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Oct 3, 2023 |

I'm not very deep into the story but he has texts from this woman talking about holding him up for money and a video she took of them in bed together that is supposedly after he beat her up and she doesn't have any of those bruises? She was also apparently denied a restraining order which is very rare and might indicate that the judge thought she was lying. The thing seems less clear cut than I thought but who knows. It's not like i think Bauer should be given the benefit of the doubt.

Lumpy posted:My expert opinion as a someone who is old, never played organized sports past 9th grade, and has never had any sort of medical training whatsoever is that his swing is killing him. It seems 95% of his power comes from torquing his lower back violently, which I imagine is tolerable to one's body when they are in their 20s, but holy crap, I cannot fathom doing that more than once a year and being able to walk or sit or do anything besides lay very still for a week or so after. Check out him trying to score from 2nd on a single lol

Legendary Ptarmigan posted:It was a terrible, very very bad mistake by Cashman to ever trade him away. I said at the time that Bader would have to be the next Bernie Williams for it to be worth it, and he was very much not that. Montgomery would have been a very strong number 2 pitcher behind Cole this year, and given what happened to the rest of the staff, that might have been enough on its own for the Yankees to sneak into the wildcard game with Minnesota (and possibly scrape by in three games and get swept by the Astros again). I'm not as worked up about that trade as you are. Yeah it was a bad trade but it's WAY down on the list of bad trades they made. I don't believe that they would've made the playoffs this year if they had monty and if they really want to sign him as a FA after the season they could've done that anyway. They missed the playoffs because of the way they hosed up the lineup, not the pitching. mcmagic fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Oct 12, 2023 |
