Comments on: How the Yankees can remain contenders through their rebuild http://bronx.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2016/01/21/the-yankees-might-not-be-doomed-until-2018/ Just another Baseball Prospectus Local Sites site Thu, 06 Dec 2018 13:34:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1 By: BillyBallz http://bronx.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2016/01/21/the-yankees-might-not-be-doomed-until-2018/#comment-4744 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 15:56:06 +0000 http://bronx.locals.baseballprospectus.com/?p=2328#comment-4744 Great article, many of my friends have been talking about this exact theory. The Yanks unfortunately cannot be that team that says hey we are out by 6 games after the all star break and we do not have a championship team so lets trade Cano before he becomes a free agent. They also never draft at top of the the Draft. So Cash has to rebuild while keeping the owners happy which means fans in the seat and team interesting. He has the toughest GM position in baseball and I think he is the best at it. I also think he cannot miss on any of our prospects and trade them away because we need to build a young core. I think we have something exciting going on and my idea of what the Yankees will look like in 2019 will be a little different from what many feel they should look like but if they somehow contend the next three years and who nows maybe get lucky and have a huge playoff run which is a crap shoot anyways and win another World Championship it should never change the plan which is the 2018 free agency class.
Heres my NY Yankees roster in 2019:

Catcher Gary Sanchez and Luis Torrens
1st Bird
2nd Mateo
3rd Arnaldo (this is a big iffy and a theory but we trade Didi and others for him)
SS Holder (yes his bat which has potential with little miss and gold glove is our SS)
Outfield: Judge in RF, Harper in LF, Elsbury, Heathcott, Hicks CF
Bench: Castro, Refsnyer

Starters: Severino, Kaprilean, Clarkin, Acevedo, and Harvey (Tanaka hopefully stays healthy and takes opt out and we choose not to resign)
Relievers: Chapman, Betances, Lindgren, Pazos, Rumbelow, and Goody

It seems most of the time he does either a great job or a terrible job. Let’s not forget that all the contracts we are waiting to get off the books are Cashman deals, unless we all want to blame ownership.

With Teixeira and Beltran scheduled to come off the books this year and perhaps even C.C., the team will be in a position to make more moves. It all comes together after 2017 when A-Rod and C.C. will be gone. It appears that there is enough up and coming prospects to fill some of the voids. Exciting times are ahead for Yankee fans.
