GONE = Drew, Ryan, Young & (God willing) Crapuano.

WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE = Sabathia & Teixeira gone even if it means paying 1/2 there salaries. Use Gardner & or Headley as trade chips.

FILLED POSITIONS = Bird at first, Refsnyder at second & if we can unload Gardner see if Judge can play LF.
 
I can see someone maybe taking Gardner but without the Yanx having to eat some of Headley's contract it might be pretty hard to move him.
 
Package Headley with Nova. Might work.
 
^^^yeah, the Yanx have a surplus of pitchers and catchers that can be used as chips.

Speaking of catchers I can see the Yankees using Sanchez as a chip since Murphy seems to be the back up for McCann.
 
Rick.............right, of course.

Cannot watch these same players doing it again for another year.
Too familiar with their mediocrity.
 
Wouldn't mind heathcott manning one of those outfield spots also next year. Think judge is going to have to hit better than .224 at triple a before he gets up here. Maybe by the allstar break
 
Mel I wouldn't mind that but I'd like to see us move Gardner.

That would take balls Michael & no one in this org seems to have any.

Both Boys castrated? George's daughter, would probably create a "knitting night," or in lieu of Yankee legends - 'bobble head nights', she'd ensure those 'bobble heads' were revised to "Hillary bobble head night", or "Monica Lewinsky bobble head night." - Lewinsky would be a natural bobble header.....

Or - Your not implying, (since no one has any balls Upstairs), to can Trashman in favor of Caitlyn Bruceifer are ya'..........! :smiley-kidding: :smiley-yell: :smiley-pat::smiley-aparatic:
 
Gardner is the Ellsbury hedge....I'd rather move the latter and bring up Heathcock.

I'd rather give Gardner to Starfks, for a Years worth of Espresso, as this team needs their caffeine, then some......

Tote: you got to beat Starfks to the punch. Creating UN-detectable Cocaine Sugar......!

Agree big time on Heathcott - from what I've seen from him so far, I think he's a very talented all around player and makes things happen - problem staying healthy.
Also- imo, Yanks HAVE found their 2b in Refsnyder until (if) he shows he is a bad defensive 2b--- but he certainly looks like he can hit and has plate discipline.
If the Yanks do earn a LDS Tuesday, I believe he'll make the roster AND play.

Unless the Yanks can land a young star-like player by dealing Sanchez, I don't think or believe the Yanks have any intentions of trading him.
He's too good of a hitting prospect - they'll find a "spot" for him on the field - and possibly, Murphy may instead go in a deal- and yes, I also like Murph- fine young catcher.
 
...Heathcott's ability has never been in question...his problem has always been staying healthy enough to stay on the field.
 
And ellsbury can play 162? Gardner has greater value IMHO.
 
I agree Tom, Gardner is the guy that'll be easier to move.
 
For me, It's about balance and moving forward with Youth. Bird has to play, it's that simple, Tex has had a good enough year to warrant other teams looking for a thumper. I would like to see the following
C- McCann
1B- Bird
2B- Rys
SS- Didi
3B- Headley (Cause nobody will want him)
LF- Free Agent Signing (Haywood) moved to right after 2016
CF- Ellsbury, we can't give him away.
RF- Beltran, last year

Infield reserves: don't laugh
Ackley (2b-1b-of)
Drew (ss-2b)

Outfield reserves
Gardner traded for pitching (relief)
Heathcoat

Catching
Sanchez
Murphy (Doc Blanchard Role) C-3b-1b-OF

DH-Arod

See your 5 and raise you tem on most. Not sure who would pay that big salary for Tex, but I sure like Bird at first. I too like Ackley as a utility guy, Drew if defensive replacement only. Remember your "Occupy Yankee Stadium Poast from last year. The hallmark of this team has always been performance and improvement which we've not see much of in recent seasons. Derek Jeter once commented "We're the Yankees they hate us everywhere we go. Yankee fans are not spoiled they just have higher expectations. Per River Avenue Blues post game video heard Beltran comment on the Yankees slide as "it is what it is. Just as bad as Tex commenting just a bump in the road after being swept by Toronto.
 
Sorry but I don't want Drew anywhere near this team.

...the only team that I can see Tex agreeing to wave his NTC for is Baltimore, which is where he's from.

Well with Chris Davis not expected to be resigned it may be a good move, especially if the Yankees agree to pay half his salary.

What should Beltran say? .....should he jump off the bridge?
Maybe he should've said Baltimore won one of those games this past weekend on a bloop single, a bunt single and two wild pitches one of which went off McCann's glove?
He's thinking like a PLAYER- not a fanatic....err..I mean "fan".
He also knows there's at least ONE more game left to decide THIS season.

Honestly, I wouldn't see the purpose of not only sending him to a division rival but also paying half of his salary on top of it.
 
Purpose being having Greg Bird as your everyday 1st baseman & unloading 1/2 of Tex's salary.
 
I really don't see the Orioles being a threat to anyone even with Teixeira (no pitching) so I'd pull this off if I could.
 
In the case of Tex & CC, affected by injuries at this point in time may have a say on their futures in the Game. At this point the Yankees are stuck with them for next year. What I am not sure of is if these injuries prevent their return does insurance pick up from there and free up the organization money wise. Almost assured that A=hole will be back taking up a God Damn roster spot smiling and talking shit.
