Do you think it’s possible that Bader declined and was easily replaced by Nootbaar is because of the Yankees superior organization?  Shirley.  What starting pitchers have developed with the Yankees over the last 10 or so years that have had viable careers?  Who are you even bragging about?  Michael King?  That team is constantly going out and buying names that inevitably crap out.  At least Cole is better than the turds the Mets bought but still.
 

What do you get when you throw three sliders two feet outside the zone to Stanton?  A strikeout, that’s what.  
 

At times they draft pretty well.  I think Volpe has talent for example but he’ll turn out to be not much because the Yankees are rushing him because he’s Italian like a lot of their fan base.  They’re teaching him genius moves like bunting late in the game with one out down two runs.  Lol.   They need him in MLB to keep the fan base wolves at bay while they have crap results.  Meanwhile the superior Pereza is in AAA.  We’ve been patient with Jordan Walker.  Let’s check back in three years to see how this turns out.  Matthew Liberatore will develop.  Which Yankee starter will?   Waino and Flaherty have had great careers with the Cardinals.  Who was the last Yankee to have the majority of his career at home after developing with the Yankees?  Andy Pettitte?  In 1972?  
 

You’re getting curb stomped by the Rays every year and now Baltimore.  You’ll keep chasing your tails signing big names for a billion dollars for years to come.  The Cards will re-set, even though it may take longer than I’d like.  Don’t worry though, Ohtani will save you.  Lol.

 

I will agree that losing Judge is a tough break no doubt.  He is the exception to the Yankees rule of poor player development.  I’ll also agree that the Cards have done their share of acquiring outsiders but they have been class acts like Goldie and Arenado, not morons like Stanton and Donaldson.

 

 

Part of the reason your Cardinals are having such a down year is the introduction of the balanced schedule.   Central divisions in both league's are trash and have been so for years........but since the central teams were playing so many games in division against other middling franchises with the unbalanced schedule, it made winning teams out of teams that really couldn't dream of hanging in contention in the AL East.    Even then.........the Cardinals haven't had a better record than the Yankees in any of the last 6 years.

 

Right now, the Cardinals are a sh!t show.   Their string of winning seasons(half that of the Yankees) is likely to come to an end THE FIRST TIME that the league goes with a balanced schedule.   That says it all about the fallacy that the Cardinals are still a top organization.   They are a mess and when they aren't going out and spending big on guys like Arenado and Contreras and Goldschmidt they are trading away their better prospects and keeping their Laars Nootbaar types instead.

Losing Judge is t a tough break. It’s something everyone, including Steveland Wonder, saw coming after he got paid.

For a guy who constantly trashes the Bills, it sure is weird that you think the Yankees are a well run organization.  The balanced schedule, huh?  Ok.  It’s not that the teams in large markets spend 4 billion a year.  Got it.  That’s got nothing to do with it.   For Pete’s sake, the Guardians and the Brewers have developed more starting pitchers in the last 10 minutes than the Yankees have in 10 years.  But maybe this will be Brien Taylor’s year.  The Reds have and will have called up more solid players this year than the Yankees have since Jeter debuted.  Too bad the Yankees didn’t get Bryan Reynolds and tell him to swing for the fences every time.  Rest assured that the Cardinals will be back on solid ground with a balanced team well before the Yankees stop being the Dallas Cowboys on a limitless budget.
 

Jordan Walker isn’t a good prospect?  Why?  Because he doesn’t run home for spaghetti on Wednesdays like Anthony Volpe?  The Yankees prospects, now and for quite a while have either been overhyped…..Jasson Dominguez……traded…..or ruined like Volpe.  But don’t worry….Josh Donaldson will save you.  They have a lot of money.  I get it.  But they are woefully hopeless against teams that do thing right like Tampa who operate on a shoestring budget comparatively speaking.

 

Do you honestly think the Yankees are doing right by Volpe having him play and do stupid things like bunting down 2 with an out in the books late in a game?  That’s the way to run a team?  It was certainly entertaining.  I laughed.  But that kid better get in his endorsement money from Prego quick or hope they trade him for a shiny object.

It’s definitely a tough break and I can’t really fault the Yankees for paying Judge.  He is a legitimately good player.  Yes he swings and misses too much but so does 95% of the league.  The guy is a good OF, a good leader and obviously a producer.  He is exceedingly rare as a homegrown Yankee and wasn’t really overhyped at the start.  Their problem is they have so many bad decisions that all their good ones are rolled up into one player.  They put lipstick on their pig with big $ free agents and splash trades but they NEED one piece of stability.  They could not let him walk.

 

You're a Mets fan right?  Ugh.  But at least they have a few prospects in the pipeline and have produced some well rounded players like McNeil in the last decade.

Last place folks. I realize Hal isn't George but if Cashman and Boone survive this then something is seriously wrong. Heads would have rolled a long time ago if George were alive.

At least their new shortstop has an Italian name.  Who cares if he isn’t nearly ready for MLB and he’s pushing a far superior player out of position so that career can be ruined too.  They are soooooooooo poorly run.

Going to need a rebuild or retool or whatever you want to call it. As of now the Yankees need to...

Lol who is buying garbage?  They have nothing to sell other than Cole.  Every other player on the team either sucks, is coming off injury, is the untradeable team captain or is a young overhyped prospect.  The Royals and White Sox have more traceable commodities.

Why not?  It’s how they select their roster.  This is probably nail in the coffin weekend for the Yanks.

Your posts in this thread are barely above the level of the Yankee fans who only add to the thread when things are going well.  Your Italian angle is at best a head scratcher.

Oswald Peraza is at this point far superior to Anthony Volpe but Volpe’s name makes him more popular so the Yankees are rushing him and holding back Peraza and/or playing him out of position.  They are likely to ruin both.

The best ability is availability. 
 

I like Judge. He’s a great hitter (despite the Ks) and a very good outfielder with a very good arm. 
 

But he just turned 31 and I don’t understand paying an injury-prone player in the other side of 30 that kind of money for that any years. 
 

And yes … I know the Mets have, and continue to, make boneheaded deals.

It’s all they have.  They had to pay him.  If another team had paid him the same, I’d agree it was a bad deal, but there was a lot of CYA in there for the Yanks.

I’m not a big fan of paying somebody primarily for optics/to appease the fan base. 
 

It’s exactly why I didn’t want the Mets to pay deGrom what Texas idiotically paid him. 
 

Age and injury-proneness were the major factors in how I felt about that, too.

I understand but the Mets have Alonso as their signature veteran.  The Yankees are an atrocious mess.  If they lost Judge who was their main attraction/leader?  Stanton?  Gleyber Torres?  Donaldson?  Shirley.  Might as well be Horace Clark.

 

Judge should have left.  He’d be much better off.

 

Look at Baltimore’s team and pipeline.  Add Tampa’s.  Toronto and Boston should both be reasonably good the next few years. The Yankees only option is to spend big dollars on free agents because their prospect pool is very bad.  They have nothing to trade and very little to build upon.  They are going nowhere for years.

Acuna has had mixed reviews as a prospect so we’ll see about him but at least the Mets she’d a lot of dollars.

Acuna was about as good as they could have hoped from Texas.  They weren’t getting Carter, that’s for sure.

 

About a year ago the Yanks gave up Medina, Waldichuck and Sears for Montas and Trivino.  I’m watching Medina today and he has a future.  Sears certainly does.  Waldichuck?  Not so sure. Meanwhile the Yankees got……OMG!  The league might have to reverse that trade it was so bad but I probably just don’t understand what I’m looking at because the Yankees are such a well run organization.

[4merper4mer]

New low tonight with German not being able to go…..the Yankees digging a hole, then……bringing in German to throw five scoreless yet useless innings.  The post game topic is about the Yankees making a trade tomorrow to bring in help.  Who on Earth are they going to offer?  The overhyped Jasssssssson Dominguez???  Lol.  They can’t buy or sell because they are horrible.

Mets have managed to get a couple prospects plus they already had a good pipeline of hitters.  I’m not sure what they have in the pitching category.  At least they didn’t trade three prospects for Frankie Montas.

[Virgil]

I know it’s not going to happen because they were just extended, but Cashman and Boone need to go.

 

Cashman even said that he knew the risk of signing players with an injury history, but the potential reward is great.  Well, the risk is all we’ve seen and he owns that.   The bullpen is a joke.  
 

As for Boone, he’s just plain terrible.  The players underperform for him and his getting ejected act is pathetic.   It’s the only thing he does to try and ignite the team.  Almost every players that comes here, performs worse as a Yankee.  Then we trade people away, and they do better elsewhere.   The clubhouse doesn’t have a true leader and Boone can’t fix it.  We have solid players who just can’t perform under Boone and now they are feeding the defeat off each other. 

At this point, I’d trade Staunton for any type of prospect.  Rondon was a terrible signing and they’ve now released that his shoulder issue is chronic.  You have to keep Judge, let the young ones keeps develope (Volpe, IFK, Peralta), and see what offers you can get for anyone else.  How hard is it to find a catcher and outfielder?     
 

I’m completely fine with a rebuild for a few years.   It’s one thing to suck when you are restocking the shelves, but to know what these guys are getting paid and to suck?  
 

Burn it down if you have to.  Judge, I know he’s had an injury history, but he’s been so good these past few years and I’m willing to say the toe was a fluke.  Stupid outfield design in LA.

Judge has had “flukes” every season except his money season. 
 

He played the Yankees like a fiddle.

I really can’t argue with you on it, because the stats support you.  But in following him fairly closely, this season felt different and not the normal “body quitting on him” injury.  There was at least a contact that occurred.  
 

This isn’t an injury I think will affect him after this season, unlike the other ones that made me think he was a brittle ticking time bomb of injuries

The way today’s Yankees are built, team, owner and manager - the juice was not worth the squeeze with Judge. 
 

I don’t fault the player.  He is who he is. Very talented, but very injury prone.
 

A smarter team would have made him a full time DH.

The original poster in this thread, the one who constantly lambastes Brandon Beane for the way the Bills are built, has made it clear that the Yankees are a well run organization.  So it seems you’re way off base here.  Of course he has also disappeared.

 

Shirley you can’t be serious with trading Stanton.  Who on Earth is going to take that guy?  I disagree with Gugny about Judge.  The Yanks were painted into a corner and had to sign him, but he is a guy other teams actually respect.  Add Cole to that list.  Add Bader’s defense and that gives you two and a half viable players on the roster.  Maaaaaaybe Cortes or Rodon when they are in the midst of their annual healthy month.  The rest are middling at best, old and over the hill or young and in mid-Yankee ruining process.  For all of the amazing hype, it is hard to call Volpe one of the 10 best young shortstops/shortstop prospects in the game.  Peraza is better and being passed over but even he wouldn’t be on that list.  Well run organization?  OMG
 

The Yankees have been tussling with the well run but under budgeted Rays for a few years.  The Sox and Jays are normally decent and willing to spend.  And now we have the Orioles.  Take a close look at that roster and imagine them giving up two prospects…..of their roughly 25 solid prospects……for a frontline starter.  Pause.  Think about all of the above for a minute.  Now imagine the next half decade in the Bronx.  Lololololololololololololololololol.  It’s over.  Their willingness to spend, their fan base and the pinstripes on their uniforms are literally all they have to offer.  That’s not enough.

Other than you disagreeing with me about Judge, we are on the same page re: the state of the Yankees. 

[Ned Flanders]

Saw this in Peter King's column this morning:

 

"Lazing around at home one day in June, I turned on the Yankees-ChiSox game, and the starting outfield for the greatest baseball franchise of all time was, left to right, Jake Bauers, Billy McKinney and Willie Calhoun. And that wasn’t the only time it happened."

Judge's next 2-3 years are going to be his best years - at least if sports history holds true.

 

You can't waste that time rebuilding.  They have to figure something out.

They don't need "rest days", unless your best players play the vast majority of the time, you will out of the playoffs.

 

The "take it easy during the season and turn it on during the playoffs"  philosophy is Bullsquat.

 

Games in April count just as much as September.

 

They need another bench player and one less bullpen player.  

 

Bunting is not a bad thing,  especially when you can't score runs already.

 

NO ONE should be DH, who is also a good fielder..........(see rest nonsense)

 

Smarter base-running should be taught, right now they are abysmal.

 

Working out player trades should NOT be done in public.  Screw the press!

 

You have your own G.D. network !! (YES)  quit putting your team on streaming services only a few can see !

 

Some of these 'veterans' this year have been coasting on the past, tell it's August and September or goodbye New York.

Judge signed a long contract - but he's on the wrong side of 30, and those contracts don't typically age well.  He's an amazing player but I don't expect the last years of his contract to be anything like the 1st years of his contract.

 

So, the Yankees have to figure something out NOW, or they are going to waste not only his best years, but Cole's. They're not a team that can do a firesale and start a 2-4 year rebuild.

They need another bench player and one less bullpen player.  

 

Bunting is not a bad thing,  especially when you can't score runs already.

 

NO ONE should be DH, who is also a good fielder..........(see rest nonsense)

 

Smarter base-running should be taught, right now they are abysmal.

 

Working out player trades should NOT be done in public.  Screw the press!

 

You have your own G.D. network !! (YES)  quit putting your team on streaming services only a few can see !

 

Some of these 'veterans' this year have been coasting on the past, tell it's August and September or goodbye New York.

Back in Dec 2022 the Yanks re-signed Cashman to a new deal that runs thru 2026. I doubt he gets canned. But Boone that could be a different story. Something needs to be done because what they have now clearly isn't working.

They need an aggressive manager.

 

They need players who can play despite minor aches and pains.

 

They don't need "rest days", unless your best players play the vast majority of the time, you will out of the playoffs.

They have crap players.  That is the issue.

 

Also: Rutchsman, Mountcastle, Holliday, Henderson, Kjerstad, Cowser, Santander, O’Hearn, Westburg, Hays, Mullins…..and more.

 

Lol zero chance for quite a while.

Mets traded Verlander back to the Stros per WFAN.

The extremely well run Yankees got Kenyan Middleton.  That’s it.  No selling.  No buying.  Baltimore, Tampa, Toronto and Boston will be waving the white flag soon.
