At this point, the only reason I watch Yankee games is for the young guys. Judge, Sanchez, Castro, and Didi, and Sevy and Gumby with regards to the pitching. Our hitting corps is beat up to hell and our bullpen can't figure out how to throw the ****ing ball over the plate. Just a very frustrating season. Though you can argue this is about the season we should be having. If it weren't for how stupid good Judge has been, I doubt we'd be close to where we are.

Speaking of Judge, he's a freaking monster. It's actually terrifying. He barely missed a HR in his first AB, went over 400 feet, but hit what looked to be a relatively lazy fly ball that was at ~110mph and over 430 feet. He's become must see TV and one of the few bright spots left on the team right now.

Just the way we've imploded is so depressing. I really hope the ASG break does our team some good.

well Chapman/Betances you have to live and die with them. same as Tanaka who has seemed to right the ship

but Clippard is not in any way shape or form part of the future, and he's hurting you now, its an easy ****ing decision. I'd rather a kid come up and get MLB experience and pitch to a 6 something ERA rather than watching a 33 year old vet who is done do it.

Girardi and the entire bullpen should be gone for wasting away the season Judge is having.

Betances was great before this 6 game stretch, Chapman was great before the DL trip, same with Warren.

Clippard is responsible for blowing 13 leads this season, I believe 8 in the last 12 games we've lost, that's unacceptable. He should not have a job anymore period.

Green has been good, girardi fails to use him, I guess he'd rather be like AV.
 
Frazier should stay up here all year and get MLB experience, could rotate Gardner/Hicks in CF when Hicks gets back. This season should still be used to get as much of a look as our prospects (well the ****ing healthy ones) as we can get.

Disagree on being a frustrating season. I think it's been really fun and we are ahead of where people expected us to be before the season started.

We are but clippard has to go, he's not part of the plan here, and he's not helping this year either. I'd rather Heller/etc get blown up and get MLB experience rather than a 32 year old veteran do it, same with Carter, headley, etc.

Yup I'm done with all 3. Especially Clippard.

His use of Clippard is really the only thing I'm hating him for honestly. its unheard of how many times the manager can allow the same damn guy to lose a lead or game.

I know Betances and Chapman have done it recently too, but its been going on for over 2 months now with Clippard.

The Mets don't need a bullpen arm for this year. They're out of it. B prospect or something.

Do you need OF or middle IF prospects?.. catching prospects? what do the mets need?

Also, you can have a return.. you can have clippard for free as well tho

No need for Clippard. OF prospects or catching prospects. Absolutely no need for a MI prospect, unless its a significant upgrade on the catching or OF prospects.

Yankees got a ton of OF prospects and some C prospects too, I don't know what kind of OF prospect you're looking for tho., I mean Jake Cave probably wouldn't be enough, and Estevan Florial is simply too much, not sure we have an in between (Frazier, Rutheford, Fowler, not happening).

Preferably an OF. Can be lower level, someone with legit starter upside. Not a 4A/4OF guy close or already in to the majors, we got Brandon Nimmo for that. :laugh:
 
Would probably be akin to someone like Wuilmer Becerra who the Mets acquired a few years ago. Some good potential upside but years away if he even makes it.
