Kiley McDaniel seems to think the Yankees philosophical shift will pay off in spades in a couple of years... http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/01/east-notes-hoffman-upton-papelbon-de-aza-yanks.html And that references this http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/evaluating-the-prospects-new-york-yankees/
If Cash-box continues to make up the rules as he goes along, then I'd expect the rules to change weekly. When it comes to foreign players and the Amateur or Pan-Am drafts, all I can think of, is the 1$ Million bonus given to the 16 year old Venezuelan Catcher, Jesus Montero......it's like a nightmare stuck in my head, NTM-the BS Hype that went with Montero, the next Catching Phenom at only 16, and/or "The next Johnny Bench"......flipping unbelievable, enough to make me lose my religion.....or faith in these drafts....
As I've said in the recent past - Cashman has refused to part with any of his top prospects in trade inquiries. Severino and Judge are probably just as sought after and are as highly coveted as just about any other organization's prospect PITCHER/HITTER-PLAYER tandem. Sounds like somebody could be on the verge of eating some Cashman Pie.
...please leave me your business card...and when your opinion becomes important to me, I'll call you.
Seriously, what the hell are you doing? You've gone from being a decent poster, always good with the exchange of ideas & being (for the most part) pretty informative. to being a complete.....I've got to be careful here, (Don't want to ruffle Denny's feathers) Okay what the hell? Snap out of it.
...I finally just stopped responding to him...like I said in an earlier post, I truly believe he's drunk 1/2 the time.
Thank you sir may I have another? It's okay Rick....[Snip] It's all fun to me.....I didn't think it was such an outrageous idiotic statement when I said (IMO of course) Gardner's and the Yanks' biggest/bigger problem was - in Gardner's case - getting on base more often and - in the Yanks' case - scoring more runs. So we went back and forth on it for a while... needless to say I took a few hits from the board and "you" got your money's worth. lol Do you actually think I'm not aware of Gardner's timidity when it comes to SB attempts? I just believe it's more important for him to raise a couple of his batting stats. That's all. It's over. No problem, all good. Edited: Do not flame other users.
You mean you don't have that Horse Shoe Hair-Do? J/K, I saw you, like I, have a full head of hair, when I saw your Pic on FB......Hey, I couldn't help myself Rick, ol' Buddy...! (smile-shit eating grin)
Yeah Rob currently its past my shoulders. But only for another week, as soon as my niece gets back from vacation it comes off & goes to LOCKS OF LOVE for the cancer kids. I do it every few years, just my way of giving back. This is now my 5th or 6th time doing it & also my last. I'm been pretty lucky up to now with the lack of grey hair but its starting to catch up to me. Besides, long hair is annoying.
Its one thing to joke and tease, but when things get taken the wrong way and/or others pile on.....we've lost the purpose of the discussion. Back on topic.....not buying that Cashman is protecting top prospects per say, he just hasn't been offered any sweetheart deals. This off season charts as a completely random series of activities thus far. And anyone that believes he has a plan, that's fine, I just want an explanation/justification for signing Drew. Let's start with the indefensible, lol!
