Comment on OOTP Universe Yankees: Beat the bad teams by BillyBall

BillyBall — Mon, 20 Aug 2018 18:41:16 +0000

Win or lose this year, there will be decisions made on multiple players. Below is Brian Cash-Ninja’s Blue Print for long term sucess that I was able to take a peak at during my last visit with B-Ninja:

The Tough Questions:

1-First off, Walker will not be on next years team.

2- Gardner should not take a spot from Clint Frazier of a free agent signing, bench role or nothing.

3- Next, what to do with Sonny Gray, Gregory Bird, and Gary Sanchez?

4- Who will we sign from our team? D-Rob, Britton, Happ, Lynn, CC?

5- What free agents will we target?

TheAnswers to those Tough Questions:

1- I would sign CC and Happ on 1 year contracts only based on their respective ages. If Happ can get more then let him go.

2- I would then trade Sonny Gray and Gregory “Stanford” Bird to Colorado (Bird’s backyard) for Jon (Snow) Grey!

3- I would sign Patty Corbin and go with a 6 man rotation.

Rotation (Corbin, Severino, Grey, CC, Happ, Tanaka): 6

Corbin, Severino, CC, Jon Grey, Happ, Tanaka, and Sheffield will be the 7th arm and with injuries at one point him and Montgomery (after all star break) will be available to fill out rotation.

Rotation Check.

Bullpen (Chapan, Betances, Green, Britton, Holder, Acevedo, Adams/Kahnle): 7

4-I would sign either Andrew Miller or Zack Britton.

5-I would allow Acevedo, Adams, and Kahn battle for a bullpen spot.

Bullpen Check!

Roster (Sanchez, Realmuto, Harper, Torres, Didi, Andujar, Hicks, Judge, Stanton, Frazier, Wade, I would use the 25th roster spot for either Gardner/Torreyes/ or a guy who can catch and can play 1st?): 12

6- I would consider Gary Sanchez in a 1st base platoon and as back up catcher to get him 500 plus at bats. Our roster will be much deeper this way.

7- I would sign either Harper for left field and platoon him occasionally with Gary at 1st or Machado for 3rd and platoon Andujar at 1st, left field, and 3rd.

8- Trade for JT Realmuto.

9- Wade and Frazier will fill out roster and bench spots.

10- Depending on how we finish I would consider bringing in a more experienced manager such as Buck Showalter.

This should be Cashman’s blue print for the next dynasty.

Comment on How Much is Aaron Judge Hurt by His Biased Strike Zone? Spoiler: A Ton, and it’s an Outrage by Mike

I want to see the definitive study on the computerized strike zone. A strike zone changes per batter and depending on his stance. I don’t see how, unless they have electronic sensor on the uniform and on the plate, how it can be accurate.

I always thought they were calling low strikes on him, now I see I’m not alone

Comment on Random thoughts after a sweep and before heading to Philly by fuster

” And oh my God, Domingo German on Sunday!”

well, maybe not.

Sunday seems like the appropriate to have Domingo pitch,

but Severino pitched Tuesday and will be fully rested by Sunday night and the Yanks could send him out

Comment on The bat is real, but what about Miguel Andujar’s defense? by mick

While I agree there is room for improvement, Andujar’s defensive metrics basically are unchanged from the date he actually was signed by the Yankees to his minor league contract. He’s shown minor improvement, but nothing of significance over several years, at different levels. His defense will not improve much in the future, imo, or that of most knowledgeable baseball aficionados. We can hope, but the chances we hope for are slim and none, and as we know, slim left town months ago. I still expect Andujar to headline a deal for a front of the rotation pitcher at some point. With Drury in the wings, Andujar is easily replaced, and therefore, available in the right deal.

It’s a lot less of a concern being he’s a rookie that didn’t come north out of camp. The game is still slowing down for those guys. Lots of room and time for improvement.

Comment on Crazy Trades: Three Packages for Mike Trout by fuster

doesn’t Stanton want to play in LA?

a trade that includes Stanton would be intriguing

how about Stanton, Florial, Andujar, Abreu, Acevedo, Adams and Kahnle?

Comment on The Yankees Should Swap Tyler Austin for Brandon Drury by Rocco Delia

Rocco Delia — Sat, 09 Jun 2018 01:56:51 +0000

Yes Drury should be called up and Austin sent down. I
Disagree that Andjur has been okay at third. Everyone makes errors, but he has played very well at third. Neil Walker should be taken off the roster if. Drury is recalled. He is doing nothing to help this team.
