Such animosity when a Yankee fan or two (include Pasta) doesn't jump through the same hoop as the "majority" (5-6 posters on this board, lmao).

Hilarious. It's as if you burned the American flag....funny.
 
ESPN reports that the Marlins "think they are making progress with an unspecified team" on a Jose Fernandez trade but "a deal still appears to be unlikely" as per Jayson Stark.

I wonder if the Yanks are in on it.....And if - if they trade Miller doesn't that considerably weaken the pen.? Nothing happened yet..we'll see.
 
The board court jester Lillie. Comic relief at its finest.
 
Rick, I try my best to amuse you but sometimes my head spins big time. Winter meetings go on all night.....lol
 
Dont know why, but whenever I see David Price's face, the word goofus comes to mind.

Nice article on Aaron Judge:
http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/ya...udge-leads-yankees-minor-league-of-resurgence

excerpt:
Judge’s almost too-good-to-be-true demeanor doesn’t necessarily foretell big league success, even if former big leaguers project it. In the spring, Reggie Jackson compared Judge to Dave Winfield, while adding a few more Hall of Famers to the mix.

"When you look at him, you say, 'Wow, that is what a big leaguer looks like.'"

Bobby Meacham, manager of the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats and former Yankees shortstop, on Aaron Judge

"He's got power like Stargell, McCovey," Jackson told ESPN New York. "Opposite-field power, which is the best power you can have. That allows you to wait on the ball. He has power like a guy from the '60s and '70s."

Former All-Star catcher Lance Parrish, who manages the Double-A Erie SeaWolves, brought up another name from the past.

“He’s an imposing figure when he gets up to the plate, just like Frank Howard was,” Parrish said. “Darryl Strawberry was a big guy, though he was left-handed. As far as guys from the right side, Dave Winfield was that kind of guy. A big guy who could drive the ball with incredible power.

“It is one thing to hit the ball a long way, but it is another thing to hit for average. He is doing both this year. Like I said, he looks like the real deal. You never really know until they get up there.”

You certainly don’t, but you can sense if a hyped player will be overwhelmed. Judge doesn’t act like he will be.
 
And another article on Judge, as trade bait for Jose Fernandez.

Disclaimer: This is NOT my take, view or belief, and I don't agree with this take, but its being bounced around.......

This is when you dust off the combination to the untouchables' Master Lock. Yankees GM Brian Cashman has not wanted to part with starter Luis Severino, first baseman Greg Bird or outfielder Aaron Judge.

In a deal for the 23-year-old Fernandez, I would start my proposal with Judge.

The 6-foot-7, nearly 300-pound right fielder -- who is also 23 -- seems almost larger than life, with a personality that perfectly fits New York. The one thing no one knows yet is whether Judge can hit major league pitching.

Fernandez is great, while Judge could be great.

I would start a deal with Judge and build from there. The Marlins reportedly want players who could help now, so if you added closer Andrew Miller and some money (maybe $10 million to offset the $27 million Miller is owed over the next three years), you might be able to finish the deal off with some lower-level, talented minor leaguers.

It would be a lot, but Fernandez is a special talent. If the Yankees could combine Fernandez and Severino, then Masahiro Tanaka really could be a No. 3 starter, as Cashman first advertised him to be when he signed him a couple of years back. Nathan Eovaldi could be the No. 4 and Michael Pineda the No. 5. CC Sabathia, Ivan Nova -- if he is not dealt -- and Adam Warren would add depth.

The Yankees seem to be gearing up for 2017 rather than 2016. They are sitting out of free agency, but you wonder: If they return basically the same team as last year, what will the attendance look like this upcoming season?

You don’t make a trade just to energize your fan base, but it doesn’t hurt that a source as great as a Twitter poll -- yes, some sarcasm here -- indicates Yankees fans like the idea of including Judge in a deal for Fernandez (nearly 3,000 votes have been cast so far -- 75 percent of them "yes").

It would be painful to trade Judge, but to acquire someone like Fernandez, it has to hurt. Miller is excellent, too, but closers can be replaced. While the Yankees aren’t spending a lot this winter, they still have money. They can make Dellin Betances the closer and add a setup man or two to deepen their bullpen.

At the end of the day, the Yankees would have one of the best young pitchers in baseball on their team. They would be better in 2016 and beyond.

I would probably not give up Severino or Bird, but Judge should be in play for Fernandez. Unlike Judge, Severino and Bird have already proved they can perform on the major league level. It is about the known versus the unknown. Fernandez is the perfect fit for the Yankees. If Judge has to lead the package, the Yankees should do it.
 
...I know he's currently is an OFer but if he can prove he can hit MLB pitching like we hope he can, I can see the Yanx maybe moving him to 1B.

I'd love nothing more than to see Judge catch on asap. I've got a feeling He will hit like Frank Howard or Hit 'em out of YS like The Mick; eventually, given time.

1st Base for Judge, then put Bird in RF....??

...lol...I had a brain fart...somehow forgot about Bird...duh.

...but who knows, it would surprise me to see either or both traded anyway.
 
Currently I think the Yankees have the best group of young players that they've had in a very long time (core 4) & I'd like to see them hang onto them. I'm looking forward to 2017 with Judge in RF & Bird at 1B.

You have those too, eh.....lol, ...mind control can have that effect...
hacking through human firewalls is exhausting work.....

I'd be surprised as well to hear their names mentioned in any trade. Judge is built like a football Defensive End. I hope he hits and attacks the ball like a DE would a QB. If so, were gonna' see some epic moonshots.....
 
CBS Sports reports that the Diamondbacks are out on the Jose Fernandez trade as per Jon Heyman.
 
...lol...now Cashman is interested in Tyler Flowers as McCann's backup.
 
MLB.Com reports that the Yankees have reached out to Tyler Flowers as per Bryan Hoch.

I'm not one to knock anyone's relatives (Sorry blg) but your Uncle Brian is an idiot. Which does explain a lot but seriously, Flowers is a career 220 hitter. Please do us a favor, at the next family gathering could you tell your uncle to stop being a jerk. We'd all appreciate it.

For anyone who's interested...........http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/flowety01.shtml
 
ESPN reports that a mystery team is making a "very strong" push to acquire Jose Fernandez from the Marlins as per Jayson Stark.
 
Houston Chronicle reports that the Astros are not the "mystery team" in trade talks with the Marlins for Jose Fernandez as per Evan Drellich.
 
CBS Sports reports that the Dodgers, Giants, and the Diamondbacks have been talking to the Marlins about a trade for Jose Fernandez as per Jon Heyman.
So who's the "mystery team"?????

...I'm sure that it will once again be spinned as "Well, he hasn't actually done it yet."

...but that's not he point...the point is why in the wide world of sports would Cashman even be checking in on a hack like Flowers?...it's just fucking dumb.


...the "ever changing plan" strikes again.
 
MLB.Com reports that the Yankees "were" willing to part with Luis Severino as part of a package for Marlins right-hander Jose Fernandez as per Joe Frisaro.

And there you have it folks..... Cashman is indeed a fucking idiot.
 
The New York Post reports that the Yankees did not offer Luis Severino in trade talks with the Marlins for Jose Fernandez as per Joel Sherman.

So which is it??? I wish these clowns would get their shit together.
 
...hell Lil, from what I've heard the Marlins would demand something like Bird, Judge, and Severino in return for 3 years of Fernandez.

...just say no, Brian.

You can rest easy- at this point, here and now:
Yanks aren't trading Severino, Bird and Judge for Fernandez.
You can book it!
