...it's incredible, no matter how many people point out the crack head mentality of the Steins and Cashman, a silver lining is blindly applied to everything they do.
 
Yankees interested in LH pitcher Wei-Yin Chen according to Mark Feinsand. 30 year old Chen who earned $4.75M in2015 is looking for no less then 5 years. So IMO 5 years at $40M should get it done.
 
pirela was a solid platoon infielder and a hedge in case Ref struggles. please dont tell me this means one one chance for drew. as for murphy...who the fuck gives away a promising catcher for a platoon outfielder with personal issues? there were moe gams than i care to remember that i miss girardi would put in murphy for mccann.

every gm on the planet must be fighting over who can fleece cashman next.
 
Lol, more slanted blind anti "Cashman "baloney" from you.
You do make good attempts at trying to be slick to back up your some of your OPINIONS which I'm sure is backed by the "majority" (which consists of 5-6 posters on this Board..lmao).....lol

You call Murphy "proven" based on 155 AB in 2015 and 48 previous games prior to 2015.....yet you CLEARLY find fault with the possibility of the Yanks promoting arguably/probably their best current hitting prospect in Sanchez.... So, according to your logic, the Yanks should've traded Sanchez? Lmao.....you would've been the first one complaining about Cashman if he traded Sanchez. Yanks are going to have to find out about Sanchez, the time is getting very near. I like Murphy, but don't make an ass out of yourself by saying he was regarded as high as Sanchez by many accounts.


It's also comical how you described Hicks as a ".225 career hitter" primarily based 467 ABs (.201) in parts of two previous seasons 2013-2014.....he just turned 26yrs old in Oct and no mention of his 2015 stats with (390 PA) which project to be at least similar to what Gardner put up in 2015.

Lmao

Yet Murphy is "proven" on 155 ABs.
I think Sanchez has a real chance to "prove" a bit more, and I agree with the Yanks and many others if they also feel the same way....

I noticed you called Didi an average hitter...another cute little trick...but only 5 (qualified) MLb SS had a higher BA than Didi in 2015 and only 7 had a higher OPS ...and in both cases, Tulowitzski was one of those SS and it's safe to say he isnt quite the Yanks answer going forward both age wise and salary...and I doubt it they could've gotten him for Shane Greene.....lmao.
I've heard you cite dWAR in a positive way in some other thread-
According to ESPN - Didi was 5th in dWAR in 2015....lmao!
Let's get back to Didi being an "average hitter" ....he was in fact one of the BETTER hitting SS in MLB last year and you know dam well the Yanks are not, and were not counting on him to be one of the BETTER HITTERS in MLB when they acquired him....so stop tossing baloney out there.
aka anti- Cashman propaganda.

One last thing....when I said the Yanks "can afford it", I was obviously referring to the case of CC and his extended contract, that was the context in which it was used, don't try your bullsh!t by twisting it to suit you........and you now might as well toss in Arod and Tex' contracts.....Yanks know what they have to do, and are willing to deal with it....they also know how much money will coming off the books in 1-2 years and will move on accordingly.

And you still conveniently avoid the fact that one of your hero GMs DID extend a contract to a SP who will be 36 years old at the end of it.
CC is going to be 35 this year, and was 31yrs old and one of the absolute best SP when the Yanks extended him.
The point was, and is, it wasn't clearly STUPID and IRRESPONSIBLE to expect a pitcher to pitch well (not necessarily Cy Young like) through the ages of 32-35. Another one of your strawman issues. Lmao.

I enjoy discussions like these, but please don't keep believing your insights and observations are necessarily more accurate (more often correct) than some others just bcause they don't happen to goose-step along with you on everything.

Not sure what you're asking for Rick?
Do you want to know if I think it was "good" trade by the Yanks?
I've already said I believe Pirela is a "pretty good" hitter, a free swinger who needs ABs to show whatever he has...and of course not known for his defense. I was calling for more playing time for him last year at 2b just to find something out when it became evident Drew was becoming a consistent .200 hitter after the first couple of months.

I don't know what the market was for Pirela and this Herrera guy has pedestrian stats (at best).
I would say the Padres got the "better" of the deal.
Pirela never really got a chance after hitting well in his AAA career.

Then why were you asking where I was?

Its originally believed that Hicks was just a replacement for Young BUT..........if you read down approx 5 paragraphs on this report Cashman is saying that Hicks is an everyday player. So what exactly does this trade mean?

I'm thinking...(along with the Yanks?) based on Hicks' 2015 numbers with 390 PA it's kinda reasonable to expect him to at least approximate Gardy's 2015 numbers (656PA) and maybe his combined 2014-15 numbers, and, along with his age (just turned 26) and salary 550K translates into.........
....Gardy (and/or Beltran) are on their way out for "help" in other areas?
This could also open up another outfield spot for one of the young players - Heathcott,...Williams/Judge??

Maybe, possibly wanting to also free up more money for some kind of non-spectacular free agent signing ? Chen?
More money also coming off the books after next year.

...sigh ...Gardner had a down year and Hicks had an up year, period...and there's no comparison between the two and there's no reason to believe Hick's numbers will be on par with Gardner's.
...Hicks may have been an everyday player on the Twins but no way he should be on the Yanx...he's been reported to have attitude problems and Gardenhire didn't even care for him. Hicks is a mediocre fringe player who cannot hit RHed pitching....not a good formula.
...Furthermore, Hick's perceived value will be diminished even more as a corner OFer...and if Cashman thinks the Yanx are better off offensively and defensively with Hicks at either corner OF spot, he's an even bigger idiot than I gave him credit for.

...Wow, ...you really could have just stopped right there, instead of mindlessly banging on your keyboard and throwing up yet another needless wall of words.

...as far as "majorities, exactly how many people are supporting your "baloney"?

...I'll wait.

...it means as usual, Cashman is out of his mind...how is a switch hitting corner OFer who can't hit RHed pitching perceived as an everyday player in YS.

Couple of thoughts-
Gardner's "down year" is actually a continuation of 2014 -
Two full seasons which avg out to:
563AB, .258 BA, 16 HR, 62 RBI, 20/25 SB, 134K, .745 OPS
HICKS has yet to play a full season and had his most playing time last year 97 G, 352 AB, .256 BA, 11 HR, 33 RBI, 13/16 SB, 66K, .742 OPS.
His SB totals alone appear to be quite possible to improve on Gardy's 2014-15 SB totals!
He has shown considerable improvement vs RHP as well as vs LHP compared to his first two seasons of 281, 186 ABs.
Last year vs RHP .236 BA .636 OPS - not good, but IMPROVEMENT.
vs LHP .307 BA, 870 OPS - outstanding numbers.

Incidently, he struckout 49 times last yr with 250 AB vs RHP which projects to less than 80 K with 500 AB (vs RHP)....nothing to be embarrassed about.
Also, I don't believe his value is "diminished" if he plays a corner outfield spot - he is already recognized as being a good defensive CF making 2 errors last year, and as much as I still kinda like Ellsbury, he now has a consistent recent history of getting injured and Hicks can step in.....also, if the Yanks DO believe Gardy and/or Beltran are now expendable with the acquisition of Hicks, this will/should also open up another spot for one of their younger inexpensive players (Heathcott,Williams judge?) which is, imo, consistent with the Yanks trying to improve while SIMULTANEOUSLY reducing payroll and getting younger.
Yank are hoping Hicks comes around and progresses with more playing time and experience and I admit he looks like a work in progress....if he flunks out in 2016, I will have NO problem pointing it out and dropping it in Cashman's lap.

And of course you never have AN OPINION....or maybe someone should just reply to your multitude of long winded drawn out "all about Matt" speeches by simply saying:
He likes to hear himself talk and thinks he's always right...and is trying to impress us half the time with alot of horsesh!t which staggers along with all of it's might trying to be relevant and believing we are all dazzled with his keen insights when he isn't predictably saying Trashman sucks the other half of the time.

Whaddya say Chief? How 'bout it?
