I was thinking this morning that I miss the homerun contest that used to run. Then it dawned on me that the Yankees have as many homers in three pitches as we do in four games. I miss the long ball.
And our two biggest additions this offseason ...Venezuelan.
Venezuelan - Giminez and Santandar
Cuban - Yariel
Hopefully they have/can maintain green cards while playing for the JAys.
It’s cute that people think the organization that removed a dealing berrios after 2 innings in a playoff game was too afraid to rock the boat with Springer and move him down.
Do you suppose there is a chance that one of them has accepted already and they are doing Boras a favour of holding off on announcing so it doesn’t take them out as a suited for his other client?
My thoughts on this is he figures this team either does well and he has a chance in the playoffs or they don’t and they blow it up and send him to a contender at the deadline.
There are some questions in the advanced metrics as to how much longer Alonso would provide that one dimension even. And to be fair, Giménez also offers speed in addition to being absolutely elite on defense.
He literally said it was from August in his post dude. That being said, it is important to note that all of that 55 million is now off the books as it was mostly from traded players.
To some extent I bet they do, except it may be different for teams without much money to spend. Ie the Pirates deal with rumours of what player is getting traded away.
Jays had one player make the top 100…just barely. Tiedemann came in at 100. However a number of guys just missed as Yesavage, Nimmala and Orelvis Martinez made the list of 15 who just missed.
One thing I found AA excelled at was restocking the cupboard. He would trade from his prospect pool (like in 2013) but then build it back up with assets again pretty quickly.
you also have to figure he would have kept Price around for 2016 and who knows what that could have meant.
