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

[GoAwayPanarin]

I am not saying it a straight apples to apples comparison. You simply cannot compare baseball rosters to hockey rosters due to the constant call ups of players and how many lower tier leagues there affiliated teams there are for each MLB team. You have a way larger pool. I think its even harder with baseball to decipher who is going to blossom into a good/great/superstar major leaguer than it is with Hockey. In baseball so many teams hit on a later round picks because those kids go through multiple levels of development (obviously some skip levels). And on top of all this, during that development these players have the opportunity to change positions, even from position player to pitcher, as well find a niche role that allows them to stick in the Majors for several years.

I think it is way more important in hockey to do what Gorton has done and stockpile prospects and 1st/2nd round picks because while they may not be superstars there is a good chance to be NHLers at some point. I think Gorton has positioned the team to turn the rebuild around quicker than expected. Cleared out salary, added already drafted prospects, and will add more in the upper rounds as opposed to years of starting our draft at the bottom of the 2nd round and/or 3rd round in which we missed on draft pick selections because at those points the percentages drop.

It is harder in baseball.

But the fact of the matter is that they've had a handful of guys come up since August of 2015 who have turned into instant impact, all star (and MVP) caliber players.

It doesn't matter what the sport is, you need those level of players.

And yes I criticize the Yankees, but my criticism of the Yankees is that I don't think they'll win the WS this year. My criticism of the Rangers is they make me wanna swallow knives.

Apples to oranges, indeed.

 

[RGY]

Red Thunder getting some ABs. I love it.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Yankees are playing .700 ball this year against teams over .500

Let's not forget that the Yankees can raid Latin American market which is a gold mine. Rangers can't. Severino cost them 225k, that's it.

No NHL team can raid the Latin market. Didn't stop almost all of them from being more competent than the Rangers.

There are probably no more than 10 organizations I can say are run better than the rangers....and that's probably and over estimation

A team with one Cup that the living remember is a top 10 organization? Lol.

And it's not just about Cups. The Yankees have three players who would be among the best Rangers of all-time offensively.

For a team with limitless appeal and financial resources, the Rangers are among the worst teams in sports at producing star players. The Knicks are better at it.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Why tf is the game tomorrow on at 1

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Loasiga is really impressive boys

I like him a bit more than German (although i think both have the chance to be studs), his slider and changeup are pretty filthy

Name me teams who have won the cup since 94. Those are the only teams that you can say are run better for sure. Last 10 to 15 years how many teams have won more games? Not many.

I love you man...but sometimes your posts crapping all over the rangers are insufferable

They both have command issues at times. This game for instance. But the talent is there.

 

[mrmovies779]

Loasiga definitely has the stuff,just needs to work on his command.Also need to remember hes making the jump straight from double a ball.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Shreve is so mediocre.

 

[mrmovies779]

We are still in this.plenty of time left and Hernandez will hang a few.

 

[RGY]

When can we get pos Shreve off this team. Waiting. He is hot garbage

 

[mrmovies779]

Not sure why Boone doesnt bring in Warren last inning.Hes a better long relief option over Shreve.

 

[RGY]

SHREVE SUCKS. Been saying it for awhile but hey i had the numbers thrown at me and how he is so good. Yeah he is crap

 

[RGY]

How is this bum still in the game...

 

[RGY]

Jesus Stanton can you come up with a game tying hit just one time..seriously man this is getting out of hand.

 

[Machinehead]

Yankees crawling back into this game

 

[mrmovies779]

Holder has really been fantastic.

 

[mrmovies779]

Now Boone gets Warren up.Dont understand why he wasnt in earlier for Shreve.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Shreve needs to go like yesterday.

 

[LeetchisGod]

This team is unreal.
