You trade away your # 3 prospect, and you do not get a starter back. You are on something, mister and it is not an aphrodisiac! I am beyond pissed with these shenanigans......... this is a bullshit trade. Stupid is stupid.
In his post game interview, Girardi does not look his affable self. Girardi actually dismissed the kids they traded........"I haven't seen them." Again, the Yankees aged considerably!
I thought Robertson was going down hill when he left. Frazier I always liked maybe getting him will signal that Headley is going somewhere. he'd be a rental. Don't know much about the reliever but at least the Yankees got rid of Clippard.
...I'll reserve judgment for now...maybe a change of scenery with help revive Frazier...and Robertson is still averaging almost 13 strikeouts per 9 innings.
in light of how Betances seems to of lost his mojo; I welcome back D-Rob, just hope he doesn't disappoint or keep us on the edge, again, time to hit up closet for a D-Rob Superman changeout...?? Betances 1st year as a Millionaire, and all the sudden he can't find the strike zone... btw-Fk you Aroldis....~!~ I still wan't Miller back...
...^^^Matts, the other thing to consider about the trade is that Boston wanted Frazier and Robertson too and were in on trade negotiations with the White Sox but the Yanx made the better offer. ...IMO, the trade would have probably helped the Red Sox greatly, so when you consider the Yanx got 2 players that Boston really wanted, the Yanx are clear winners from that aspect.
Well let's see if Headley is quaking in his shoes with the "Toddfather" as a Yankee. For once Cashman weather he intended to or not beat out Dombrowski in that deal. Did not know much about Kahnle and am in the process of getting educated. I follow the Eastern Teams more so than the others.
^^^yeah, Kahnle has been pretty much overlooked in this deal for some reason...if you consider we got rid of Clipboard and added Robertson and Kahnle and Frazier this could be quite a good roster adjustment...not sure what's gonna happen with Headley, and I hope Cashman finds a way to dump him but if not I see a platoon at 1B with Headley playing vs RHed pitching and Frazier playing vs LHed pitching, as well as Frazier playing some 1B.
Per the River Avenue Blues analysis of this trade it looks like the Yankees made out good overall. Saw the recent updates on Kahnle & Robertson placing them as pickups of value. If they go out and succeed when Girardi sends them out there then the pen will be in better shape. With all of those options it also means if one does not produce they'll be moved along. We haven't seen that situation in many a year. Hopefully this trade will inject life into a Yankee Team mainly Bullpen that has failed since mid june.
Would have preferred a starter coming back with this trade. Interested with what Kahnle offers in the middle to late innings. Now if Trashman can unload Headley and Ellsbury.........I'll breathe better!!!!
^^^^ any bone stolen from Boston that would of been used to beat the Yanx, is a Yanx victory indeed. I was unaware of this, as well as unaware of Kahnle too, holy shit, 15k/9IP avg, my my, that's Betance's BB/9IP, well close, exagerrated a bit...
...the more I look at the trade, the more I like it. Rutherford is a prospect, period...and I'll take proven players over prospects any day. ...consider that a week ago we were cringing every time Carter came to bat or when Cippard took the mound. We've improved offensively and defensively at 1B and greatly bolstered the bull pen.
where did you email them too, and will they be back in time for the game today; hope you didn't email 'em too far away......
