OT: MLB Thread XLIV

[GoAwayPanarin]

Player of the decade with less than 400 games?

Is he still unproven?

 

[Cassano]

Player of the decade with less than 400 games?

Yes. He is the best player to suit up for the Yankees this decade.

 

[ThirdEye]

Nm... Was in the wrong decade haha

 

[sbjnyc]

Who else would it be?

I agree with the lineup more or less.

To me at least, best player who played in the decade is different from best player over the decade, which is how I interpret player of the decade.

 

[darko]

Gardner leads the Yankees in WAR by a decent margin this decade.

 

[rangersfansince08]

I want Josh Hader, Beltances or Collin McHugh and another lefty bat (Panik?).

 

[sbjnyc]

Gardner leads the Yankees in WAR by a decent margin this decade.

Who was the Yankee's player of the decade for 2000-2009? A-Rod played 5 seasons with a 41.9 WAR, Jeter 10 seasons 44.2 , Posada, 10 seasons 37.6 WAR, Mussina 8 seasons 35.2 WAR, Rivera 10 seasons 33.1.

Personally though I think it should be Rivera.

 

[sbjnyc]

Yes. He is the best player to suit up for the Yankees this decade.

Is he better than Alex Rodriguez or Derek Jeter? Both played more games with the Yanks this decade than Judge.

 

[Cassano]

Is he better than Alex Rodriguez or Derek Jeter? Both played more games with the Yanks this decade than Judge.

Yes. Both were washed up in the 2010s.

 

[sbjnyc]

Yes. Both were washed up in the 2010s.

I wouldn't exactly call Arod washed up - posted 4+ WAR in 2010 and 2011. But what exactly is your criteria - Best single season (Judge) most WAR in decade (Gardner) or something else?

In the 4 seasons Cano played in the 2010s as a Yankee, he posted WAR of 8.1, 5.8, 8.4, 7.8. Of course he fell off a cliff a few seasons later when the mets somehow wanted him but still, he was one of the best Yankees of the decade.

Judge is a Yankees icon. Cano left for a few extra million.

It is a more subjective criteria IMO.

Names like Gardner and Cano aren't wrong, but I think Judge is the player I remember most fondly of this decade. He is the symbol of the Baby Bombers era.

 

[sbjnyc]

Happy Holidays from the New York Yankees

 

[Cassano]

I'd rather keep him instead of trading him for a relief pitcher

 

[darko]

Hader can go multiple innings. Andujar is a guy with no position. I'd do that trade.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Betances to the Mets.

 

[sbjnyc]

I can relate to this.

 

[Leetch3]

Betances to the Mets.

i'm sure i'm not the only mets fan that interprets this as confirmation that he will never recover from his injuries lol

 

[Machinehead]

Nice to have Betances still in town.

 

[Cassano]

Knowing the Mets luck, he'll be on the DL the whole season like he was this past season.

 

[Cassano]

 

[Cassano]

Cursed image.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Hader can go multiple innings. Andujar is a guy with no position. I'd do that trade.

me too.

 

[darko]

Betances to the Mets.

Wish him all the best. Hope he can bounce back to what he was.
