A player posting about analytics is really a unique thing. Bauer is entertaining, if nothing else.
When it comes to pitching, Bauer knows whats up.
I don't care for his politics or the other shit, but hes a smart dude.

Yep, he's got that vibe.
He's knowledgeable in certain areas, usually those related to his profession. The other stuff is just a mess. Like some of the "Twitter battles" he's gotten into are just ridiculous. Just like an HF poster, as you said.

IDK. There are some people here who are clearly very intelligent and can really talk your ear off about analytics and a very advanced level. But they're immature, and if you challenge them too hard for too long they show their immaturity. Or, if you try to engage them in a deep debate outside of their area of relative expertise, they act like a high school kid who thinks he's getting picked on (which is probably what they are). Bauer is a little more mature, usually, but when he engages on things like politics and the Twitter masses hit back, he really comes across like that immature HF poster.
He's a good pitcher who had a great year, but that's it for me. I wish a lot of guys would just refrain from getting into it on social media (not just conservative athletes by the way; I just think it always ends up causing problems). But, it's their right to do so, and unless their team asks them to stop, it's up to them to do as they please. MLB and the PA should come up with a joint social media policy, or at least guidelines. And that's not to muzzle guys, but really to protect them.
Yankees Team Doctor is saying Eovaldi’s elbow is fine (not for the yankees sake just in general). But should the Yankees consider him? His velocity is up and he was a horse in the playoffs. Good movement on his pitches.
Bumgarner appears to be back in the mix, possibly on the market with management changing there. However, there is a concern with his fastball velocity dropping and its effectiveness.
Kluber should be option A. Then either Corbin or Bumgarner depending on what each would cost via money or trade. Although Eovaldi intrigues me and may be creeping into the second pitcher talk that we should get. I think they have to come away with 2 of those 4 minimum. Keuchel is the last resort.
Ultimately, Sign Machado. Complete deal of Andujar for Kluber. Re-sign Hechevarria. Sign Daniel Murphy. Sign Corbin.
To start the season:
C-Sanchez
1B-Bird/Voit
2B-Murphy
3B-Machado
SS-Torres
LF-Frazier
CF-Hicks
RF-Judge
DH-Stanton

Bumgarner s fast ball had averaged around 91-92 his entire career.
He should be option A. Him and Kluber would be amazing

Could the Yankees just sign Keuchel and Harper and then trade Adujar for Kluber? Issue of course becomes who plays the left side of the infield.

Keuchel hasn't been good in over two seasons. Don't let his performances against the Yankees lately fool you. I'd stay far, far away from him.
Trade for Kluber and sign Corbin. Sign Harper or Murphy to play 1st. Call it an off season. I really thought Machado was a lock to come to the Yankees before this year's postseason started, but I think that since he was dealt to LA, a lot of red flags manifested themselves that I think will make the Yankees shy away.
Harper is a Scott Boras client. Boras had always had a friendly relationship with the Yankees front office.

Clevinger made some tweet about translating some math I think and Bauer was like “I’m gonna translate deez nuts across your face”
It’s childish but I laughed realy hard
Feel like Kay having Buck Showalter on TMKS just now has some connection to the Yankees signing Machado.

I think he was on Nightengale's list of free agents that could go without a deal long into the offseason. It makes sense.
