I don't expect the Yanks to do much with free agents.
The thing I'm worried about is Tanaka, if he eventually goes down with arm surgery, this Yankee SP staff can turn ordinary very quickly.

 

[yankeesince59]

...I can see them making a run at Lester because they really have no idea what to expect from Tanaka or CC. ( CC, mainly because he's a LHer and they are so hard to come by and so necessary at YS.)

...if they sign Lester or another ace and the other Yanx pitchers all return to form (not likely) a surplus of solid pitchers is always a good problem to have...and the odd men out can still be valuable as trade chips.

Amen....!!!

I'm not a DRob fan. I don't think he has what it takes to be a closer. just my opinion

Same here, I'd give D-Rob a shot as a set up man, see if he can handle that, cuz I don't believe he can be the Yanx closer going forward. I'd give the Closer Role to Betances in a NY second.

I agree bos. he's certainly not worth $15M. And its that very reason why I hope he turns down the QO.

 

[yankeesince59]

...I'll bet a 3 Kilo bag (6.6 lbs) of Chee-tos that he declines the offer.

Count me as #4 in this line of thinking... he should be a 8th inning/set-up guy, not a closer...

 

[Yankeefan5545]

If the Cubs can fire Renteria and hire Maddon "out of loyalty to the organization" then the Yankees can resign D-rob at a reasonable rate, in his former set up role, with Dellin as closer, for the best interest of the organization".

 

[yankeesince59]

...4 years/$45 Mil for DRob.

As a set up guy or closer?

Gee Ron, I pictured you with more hair. Lol!

 

[yankeesince59]

...wherever he goes.

 

[yankeesince59]

...only pic I could find that didn't have a kid or a female holding the bag.

LMAO, great picture.....where in the world does one find one of those 3 kilo bags of Cheetos???


Heck, with one of those, I could even begin to share....!

For what it's worth, those are cheese puffs & not cheetos...

 

[yankeesince59]

...hey, Chester Cheetah is on the front of the bag...that's all that is required.


...it also says "Chee-tos" and "Los Originales".

 

[Hammerojustice]

Just cause it says it doesn't make it so....

 

[yankeesince59]

...why are you making an issue out of nothing?

 

[Hammerojustice]

Why are you?

 

[yankeesince59]

...what is your problem?..."a bag of Cheet-tos" has been a joke around here for months. Other than you, who gives a shit if they are real or not?

...would more pictures make you happy?

...they look real to me, but if it helps you to sleep better, believe whatever you want.

Wow.....where can i get one of those 3 Kilo bags, it would make for a good Lunch...!

 

[yankeesince59]

...as near as I can tell, they're sold in Mexico in the south of the border version of Sam's Club.

 

[Hammerojustice]

Someone clearly woke up on the wrong side of the walker..

 

[yankeesince59]

Someone clearly woke up on the wrong side of the walker..

...really?...why is that?...because I made a simple comment about a huge bag of chee-tos that you mistakenly took issue with?

...for whatever reason you decided to imply they were not real cheetos...I then showed that they are...but yeah, I'm the one with the problem. (rolls eyes)



...and you can take your "walker" comment and stick it in your ear.

 

[Bosman4nyy]

For what it's worth, I like Cheese puffs better than the original LOL

 

[blgridesagain]

Personally speaking - cheese puffs, cheese doodles and cheetos should be outlawed.

Absolute killers.

 

[Bosman4nyy]

I haven't eaten junk food in a very long time, but on occasion like Super Bowl parties ect, I love cheese puffs & Doritos. Can't help myself.

Isn't this romantic, those two would be my choices also.
