    ...Cashman to do list for this off season;

    1. acquire a bonafide ace (not sure Seve is quite there yet.

    2. find a way to jettison at least 2 of either Ellsbury, Castro, and Headley.

    3. with Castro and/or Headley gone that gives the Yanx the option of moving Gleyber Torres to eith 3B or preferably, 2B in which case would require the acquisition of another 3Bman.

    And not coming back: cc, t frazier, one or both of gardy and headley. Possible trade bait castro and betances. And other question is if girardi decides to coe back or 1o years is enough.

    I agree. Have to go out a get a top of the line starter. Next year should be time for Adams to hit the rotation also.

    ...Gardner would be a very interesting and valuable possible trade chip...maybe package him and Castro along with Ellsbury or Headley?

    ...as far as Betances, the Yanx would have to resign him first in order to trade him.

    ...I think the Yanx will make Girardi an offer but he'll probably get other offers as well...I think it will come down to whether Girardi wants to stay.

    Homefield advantage played a big part in this ALCS...

    After last nights loss I had bad vibes about this game. The pending World Series is of no interest for me to watch, don't like either team but will score check and recap read after the games have been played. When the Yankees don't get in there I tilt to the AL Team but you wont find me bandwagon jumping. Really disappointed that the Yankees did not make it.

    I'd liked to of seen Torreyes in these last 2 gms, at 2-nd base, the "little spark plug" who never got his chance....

    One helluva seaons for a team I never expected to see in PS....Kudo's ~!~

    I'd also like to see Clint 'Red' Frazier playing an equal amount of games in LF, as Gardner....

    Hicks couldn't hit his way out a paper bag this PS......

    It was a great year and only the beginning of what should be a bright future. It always sucks to lose when you're this close but it's motivation moving forward. Just for starters a young Judge, Sanchez, Bird and Didi is a great four compared to anylineup.

    The Yankees can also get more payroll flex with the salaries of CC & A-hole off of the books.

    I was surprised the Yanx went this far, to be honest, who did?

    I am not surprised the Stro's are headed to a WS, I said as much 3 seasons ago; it was obvious Houston was bldg a helluva club, very apparent in the A+ Minor Lg team here in town....still would of loved seeing a Yanx/Bums classic instead, any day...

    That being said: I won't be going to the Series in LA, wouldn't if I could...

    I will be watching the Series, hope LA gets clocked by Houston. Unless a team sweeps the WS, will be watching the last games in the hospital, on a gurney fkd up on some heavy drugs....and saying my prayers ~!~

    We'll get an offseason thread going. Plus, I think the next Yankee story will be that Girardi and the Yankees have agreed to part ways.
