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

[Machinehead]

Judge could probably eat Altuve.

I think that should factor into MVP voting.

How valuable are you if you're getting digested?

 

[RangerBlues]

Yankees getting under the tax. "small market" teams puckering.

 

[I Eat Crow]

I'm pulling for Houston to win it all.

Screw LA and their spoiled, entitled fans. The only city more spoiled by championships in recent history across the sports spectrum is Boston.

 

[Bob Richards]

Pulling for Houston just because of Beltran.

 

[Cassano]

Which one of Betance/Robertson/Chapman will be traded? All 3 will make high salary and the bullpen is deep enough to make one of them expendable to get below the salary threshold.

Chapman obviously won't be moved.

'Selling high' on DRob would probably be logical, but it would send the wrong message to the fanbase after the promising postseason he had.

Betances high risk/high reward guy at this point, but I think teams would still kick tires to trade for him.

We should be fielding offers on Betances and Castro.

End of an era.

How is JJ at barstool a source?

When there is smoke, there is fire. Rosenthal just tweeted an article on why Girardi could be out as well.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I don't buy it.

If Girardi goes, its going to be his call. I also don't think he would announce it while the world series is going on, even if tomorrow is an off day.

 

[RGY]

IF he does want out, who replaces him?

Mattingly would be my first choice.

Pena
Thompson
Guillen
Scioscia
Long
ARod
LaRussa (i wish but prob too old at 72)
Showalter (he wont become available)

Thompson IMO. ARod can take his old spot and then eventually be groomed to be the hitting coach,

 

[Cassano]

Somewhat weird considering they were up close to seeing him send Bird home twice - only to be gunned out.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Mattingly would be horrible.

I think A-Rod would be a terrific manager but I doubt he wants it.

I'd take Mills.

What about Scioscia? Moar bunts and small ball

 

[RGY]

Seemingly more options to replace Girardi than there are to replace AV unfortunately.

 

[RGY]

Dont know how to do tweet. But Heyman says Cashman will be back.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I guess Verlander is hittable.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Its not 800 feet to left center at Dodger Stadium.

He's also given up 2 hits, they just both happened to leave the yard.

Thompson probably. I assume Girardi and Long both both end up in D.C. although the Mets might overpay him to keep him away from the Nats on a new contract

The Dodgers also don't strike out a million times.

End of an era.

Legit source?

 

[Machinehead]

Is Girardi retiring or just moving on?

I’m just curious if this is even a legit source.

As am I, but like All Might said, there's a lot of smoke here.
