OT: MLB Thread - Part XIX: Yankees Hire Boone. Joe Buck Still Unenthused

[darko]

I mean, I agree, but having a guy like Torres at 8 or 9 is just unfair to the other team. No easy innings.

Should be batting 6th IMO.

didi f***ing SUCKS bro

when bird comes back, he needs to sit

He needs more at bats though.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

He needs more at bats though.

True, true. And either way, whether it’s Torres, Andujar, Austin, Walker, the back half of the lineuo is just straight fire.

 

[RGY]

Well German really disappointing here. I had high hopes for him even before the Astros relief appears and his first start. This is just real bad against a bad team

Didi will figure it out. But he should be down in the lineup at this point

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Yeah im sure he will but man is he tough to watch right now.

Not convinced Didi long term fit.

 

[darko]

Not convinced Didi long term fit.

I am. He's a 20 HR shortstop. That Judge-like pace from April was never going to last.

 

[17futurecap]

Hamels out here like, is this good enough for you guys to bring me home with you back to New York on Wednesday night?

No interest personally

Don’t need another guy with the “cant throw as hard he used to” moniker

We already have two guys whose fastballs are essentially useless.

SS position has changed. 20 HR SS will be the norm for above average ones. It'll probably cost $15m to retain Didi - I'd just go all in for Machado at that point as a huge upgrade.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

1st.

I don't hate Hicks leading off either.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

1st.

3rd

Still two months so a lot can change, and maybe some surprising names will enter the market, but it seems weak right now, Archer, Fulmer and Hamels? I'm going to assume for now the Giants and Dodgers won't be sellers, any other possibilities, you and Darko would know better than me.

Marcus Stroman, Sean Manaea, Danny Duffy. Mind you Duffy's been bad this year.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Marcus Stroman, Sean Manaea, Danny Duffy. Mind you Duffy's been bad this year.

Manaea is EASILY the most attractive and realistic option out there IMO.

I’d give up a decent amount to get him.

Would cost the most out of anyone. More than Bumgarner.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Would cost the most out of anyone. More than Bumgarner.

I don't think so.

I'd still happily pay up for him.

 

[darko]

4 years of control remaining after this season.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

4 years of control remaining after this season.

Vs. one of the greatest post season pitchers of all time.

Beane would do very well if he chooses to move Manaea, but Bumgarner would return a grab bag of amazing - like 3-4 top 100 guys plus others.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Yankees will win tomorrow and win the series..

also, get Hamels, he will be the cheapest of the bunch and he's still good.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I'm not sure about Manaea, Gray was great in Oakland as well. and he will cost way too much.

 

[RGY]

I have no interest in Manea.

Preferred choices: Bumgarner/Kershaw

B choices: Paxton, Hamels

C choice: Archer, Fulmer

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Paxton would be my #1 realistic choice.

Question, not just to you, to Yankees fans in general: if the Giants INSISTED on us including Andujar for Madbum, would you be willing to trade him?
