...looks like I missed a great ending for us for a change...happy for the Yanx...happy for Frazier.
...I still would not be surprised if he's traded.
The Yankees need to keep all of those kids in their system and place premium concentration on getting rid of the duds. Easier said than done. Big dollars come off of the books with A-hole, Biggie, and Pineda coming off of the books. I don't know how the rest of you feel but those kids could damn good economical additions so the Yankees won't get stupid and sign the Machado and Harpers for outlandish sums. Now if Cashman could figure out how to land a Trout within reason I'd probably like that.
^^^This...unfortunately, there's no place for Frazier as a starter for the foreseeable future considering the Yanx are saddled with the contracts of Ellsbury/Gardner, not to mention the eventual return of Hicks.
...and Frazier's value is relative high right now, so Cashman may parlay that into a trade for a starter...Sonny Gray/Jose Quintana, both of which are young, healthy, relatively cheap, and under team control till 2020/2021.
Ellsbury's playing so bad, he'd make any one else look great....I don't see Jacoby waving his no trade clause, even if fans began to pour beer down upon him, hell use the draft keg in the LF-CF sports lounge if you got to, and/or the
**other hoses galore. Make him expect a bath every outing, enough he'd want' to go anywhere but the Bronx...
Very interesting conundrum, whose gonna' go, whose gonna' stay or, who will be desperate enough to take Dingleberry even if they paid half his wages to leave. I think teams would be more interested in Gardner than the others, jes saying, I've never been a fan but he hustles, even when he mnisplays a ball, doh- NTM- the Yanx need arms worse.
imo, Jacoby would rather be
**pissed on by the fans every outing, than leave his kush job; altho' a trade may be forefront in his mind, as its obvious his career is in
full "tilt" shut down mode, like a pinball game. Get the fk out before his game flat out implodes beyond repair, as if its not already.
I think we've all agreed at some point Headcase needs replaced badly or bought out, and Carter has no business even being on a MLB field, not even as a bat boy...
btw- nice game winning walk off by Red, would like to see a lot more of him before a decision is made; the clock is ticking fast....
