I can sense something happening, not the usual ST optimism

ST notes and info associated with thread TOPIC...
Yeah yeah, I know we're still in ST but why not have some up to date good news and some nice old fashion feel good positive "optimism"?

Gregorius is now batting .273, .346 OBP, .500 SLG%, .846 OPS and stole a base today.
Andrew Bailey 29 yrs old, (RH reliever), says his arm has never felt better.
He owns a career 2.64 ERA, 1.05 WHIP despite struggling through arm issues the past couple seasons.

Girardi has said the competition for the #5 spot has now officially begun and he's named Rogers, Whitley, Warren and Mitchell (22 yrs old) as the candidates.
All are under 30 yrs old and I'm hoping Mitchell gets the spot...let's find out about this kid, he has pitched well in his short stint as a Yankee and who knows, he could bloom into a nice young SP gem.

Finally - saw a very recent article regarding how Arod has helped out Bird and other young Yankee prospects with good veteran advice....according to BIRD.

Here's the link.

Ridiculous isn't it Tom?

 

With all due respect sir, YOU are the latest one to comment regarding my original post, so I guess I owe YOU a reply....
......sorry guys but he obviously has chosen to bring the matter up AGAIN which DOES pertain to my post #1.

So you think you've provided some insightful revelation by pointing out Judge and Cave being "the first cuts of ST".
Whooptey dam doo, most or all of the young prospects have be reassigned back to the minors in the middle of ST....earth shattering piece of info...lmao.


I really don't mean to make you look silly but you kinda deserve it.
Does Judge and Cave being reassigned to the minors change the fact that they ARE considered to be part of a good crop of Yankee farmhand prospects who should/could be ready in a year or two?
.....AND, I NEVER said I expected most or all of these prospects to make the team and lead the Yanks to the WS.

Now stop acting like a stupid little attack dog.....it's becoming annoying.

 

lol...since we're using small sample sizes, here's 6 of the 9 starting spots this spring;

Ellsbury .222
McCann .217
Teixeira .192
Drew .167
Beltrán .158
Gardner .138


... this team is an offensive juggernaut and I have visions of a 28th WS Title.

 

Yeah Vic I agree, that one really no sense to me at all.

 

It's somewhat comforting having Gregorious so far batting over .270 and an OPS over .800, after all , they did trade THE Shane Greene to get him.

 

Holy shit! Seriously would you stop. You wait for Didi to have a 3-3 game before you start pounding your chest. Where were you prior to last night when he was 3-19 hitting 157.

This act of yours is really getting old, give it a rest.

 

...I really wish someone would do something about this BS.

 

lol, part of Cashman's "plan".

 

I hope you'll have no trouble finding another board to post on.

 

Actually, and I'm surprised you can't seem to remember, I was bringing his name up as one example in response to those (continuing) dozens of posts mocking and denying that Cashman and the Yanks aren't trying to get younger when he was batting well below .200.

And speaking of very tired acts, I'm surprised the "board" hasn't blamed Cashman whenever there's a snow storm.

 

Seriously guys, no kidding around.
And this is on topic (post title) because it involves Bird and other young players being mentioned.

Does anyone care to critique, comment or have any thoughts on this link from my post
# 121.

OK so ARod is doing his Crash Davis impersonation. I'd rather have Costner on the roster, he cares about the integrity of the game.

 

Fair enough.

 

...I believe that it has been mentioned that Bird should be the backup 1Bman instead of Jones.

 

I'd be okay with that because these kids needs to start somewhere but I also think it wouldn't hurt that if this kid (Bird) is only going to get 100-150 ABs as Teixeira's back up he may be better where is is so he could work further on his craft & get his 400+ ABs.

 

...I think being around the veterans on a regular basis would do him even better...plus I'm sure Tex could also tutor Bird about the finer points of being an exceptional defensive 1Bman.

 

Agree
