Strengthen the starting pitching and we should be in good shape. All while getting under the tax threshold they're obsessed with.
guess Torres may finally get his start at 3b....? but why O' why did they pick up a RF'r....? Only to dump salary.... ~!~ Ok, ok, now let's see some SP's. Next Ellsbury and Gardner....for SP's... ~!~
Torres I would think would get the chance at second base. Third base we will have to wait and see what happens. Might be a Todd Fraizer come back as I doubt they would want to have rookies at both second and third. It seems they have the money for Fraizer and another starter. If CC is willing to come back cheap you can never have too much pitching.
good point, rookies at 3rd and 2nd could be disatrous. I have no clue how much $$$ or years Frazier is looking for? Love his intensity, yet imo, he swings for the fences too often, and his b'avg has suffered. Odd thing with Frazier is his .222 B'avg but had a .365 OBP%. I'd take a .350 obp any day. I hope he's not signed for more than a year or two, if that can happen....
Just saw that trade, glad to see both Headley & Mitchell gone, don't know anything about the Padre coming back. Scuttlebut also shows a possible return of Frazier & or Biggie.
...hee hee. ...we got got a bag of balls in return but I'm a happy camper...now, get rid of Ellsbury or Gardner and I'll be even happier.
... would not surprise me if Cashman resigns Todd Frazier but even though I admire his passion for the game I'd rather not see him back...gotta believe that either Andujar or someone else would provide just as much if not more production from 3B. I'd rather the Yanx take the money they'd pay Frazier and use it instead to nail down another pitching spot.
Frazier will be 32 in february and rumored to be looking for 3 year deal. Made 12 mill last year and imo would be looking for that again which I think is more than what the yankees want to spend on a 3rd baseman not named machado. Torres gonna be the 2nd baseman and 3rd manned by rizutto until andujar ready which shouldn't be too long
Orioles have made machado available now for trade now but selling him as a shortstop not third baseman.
I like fullmer the best despite recent elbow surgery. (same that degrom had last year with good result Ulnar nerve transposition surgery means doctors will move a nerve to a spot in Fulmer's elbow were it is less likely to be irritated. Fulmer has had issues with numbness and tingling in his fingers on and off all season. There is no structural damage in the elbow.

The 3-4 month recovery indicates Fulmer will be ready for spring, though with the Tigers rebuilding, it stands to reason they will be cautious with their prized young arm. The surgery and recovery will undoubtedly change his offseason workout routine to come degree, so Detroit could take is slow with Fulmer in camp and early in the regular season. Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom had the same ulnar nerve transposition surgery last September, and he was ready in time for Spring Training and the regular season. He has a 3.63 ERA in 188 1/3 innings this season, though a rough last few starts have bloated his ERA. deGrom was sitting on a 3.21 ERA recently as August 14. Fulmer, 24, went 10-12 with a 3.83 ERA in 164 2/3 innings this season. He was named AL Rookie of the Year last season after going 11-7 with a 3.06 ERA.
Great job by cashman who after years of being a shithead has evolved into one of best gm's out there. Found a sucker, I mean taker for headley's whole salary. Believe unless dickbury is a total dickhead which his non trade they will be able to find a sucker to take him also paying half his salary. Wouldn't be surprised for right price if gardy gets moved also which clears left field for stanton and opens up dh spot for multiple guys when they need a rest. Also have guys like mckinney at triple a who can come up and contribute to the outfield. And in 2 years florial will be up here to man centerfield. Mets fans every time they see alderson at the meetings in his jasper the hobo outfit telling everyone he has no money must want to kill themselves. The yanks with a young hal steinbrenner fully engaged and with cashman putting his trade partner under a spell and then ripping them off are in very good hands right now and only going to get better. Ohhhhhhh Babyyyyyy!
Cardinals are favorites for landing Marcell Ozuna. Multiple Teams are pursuing Christian Yelich........come on Yankees get it done always liked Yelich.
Let's be clear, the performance of the baby bombers is what has enabled Cashman to be good gm this off season. Otherwise he'd be gutting the farm for retreads again.
