Yup, Drew has more than three times as many RBI, SLG% Drew .444, Prado .362, OPSā” Drew .724, Prado .662 Yup
...lmao...so based on those hand picked stats, are you saying you'd rather have Drew than Prado?...and you'd rather have Gregorius than Drew or Prado?...and you'd rather have Eovaldi/Germain/Jones than Greene?
...uhhh, you irrelevantly asked "how Prado was doing". Rick first used BA and replied that he was "hitting .100 points higher than Gregorius"... I then used the same stat to say that Prado was "also hitting .100 points higher than Drew"....so in fact, I didn't "hand pick" anything. ...now instead of avoiding the question and deflecting, try answering the question or simply stfu.

Unlike you, I don't avoid answering questions. I said at the time of the trade and about Greene, I didn't like giving up Greene - in fact, before the trade was even made I pointed out last season how Greene pitched very well vs good teams. Cashman gambled (which is what most trades are) in acquiring a *YOUNG athletic type inexpensive SS. *remember? Yanks need to get "younger". Younger doesn't necessarily mean better, but the Yanks (obviously) felt Didi has the skills to grow into a solid everyday SS.....maybe, maybe not....yet to be determined. As for the Prado trade, it is done, Cashman gambled (which is what most deals are) on acquiring another young pitcher Eovaldi along with a LH backup DH/1b/RF.....and German 22yrs old who at the time OBVIOUSLY had outstanding numbers as a SP in the minors. As for Drew, I'm certainly not thrilled with his poor BA but I stand by what I said about him PRIOR to the Gregorius trade which most disagreed with, I wouldn't have minded if they brought him back as their SS because I feel as if he is only two years removed from putting up good numbers and last year was a washout as he missed ST and didn't begin until May. He's now the 2b/ backup SS. I think he can hit double digit HRs and hopefully hit about .235-.240 with a very decent SLG %. Some power and good defense should be good enough for a 7-8th place hitter. How about if we wait at least a month or two more before deciding whether or not Prado and Greene would've put the Yanks over the top? lol oops, I forgot, some already know the answer. Sorry but I'm not going to live or die thinking about Greene and Prado all season long.
That's the point that has been made several times. Only Cashman knows the answer as to why he would resign Drew for second base and then put another offensive black hole at SS. A combined 14 for 78. Of course it's not all on them as Tex and Beltran are a combined 15 for 83. 29 for 161 for those four which obviously is killing this lineup. The bottom line is that Cashman's moves the last few years haven't been very good.
Just when I was about to give this post a B+ you had to throw in your usual touch of sarcasm. Unbelievable.
