2016 Yankees Thread: Judging By The Future, It's Right Now

[The War Report]

Besides Tanaka and Ellsbury, none of those other acquisitions were considered big-time FAs, my point was that the Yankees aren't gonna spend money on every big-time FA like they did in the early 2000s. Sure, they overdid it with Ellsbury (I didn't understand that one honestly), but they aren't trying to just have roster filled with high-priced FAs all over the place. I like the fact they are making an honest attempt of re-building the roster slowly within through the farm system.

The thing is that FA isn't the same as it use to be. Teams are retaining their talent, so The Yankees can't poach other team's talent. Revenue sharing and these new TV deals are giving these teams an influx of cash. In 3 years The Yankees will have lots of money, the same time Harper is a FA. I wouldn't be surprised if they both signed Jose Fernandez and Harper.

It's clearly obvious they aren't spending like they usually do until the older contracts are done and waiting to bid on Harper and Harvey

The Harvey/Fernandez dream is MUCH more realistic than the Harper in right field in Yankees stadium fantasy.

Why wouldn't Harper want to play for The Yankees and hit fly ball HRs in Yankee Stadium?

I don't know about all that.

Yankees basically draft a pitcher in every round of the draft hoping 5 of them make it.

Tanaka
another big money signing or trade
Severino
Kid Kaprie
????

Did you read my post? He was having control issues last year.

don't try to compare severino's control issues to betances. I followed betances career, dude struggled with control for what seemed like damn near 10 years (in reality it was like 8) in the minors so chill with your anxiety...

tho i'm so disappointed that this fool has to be taught this shyt 9 years in the fukkin league....i'm ecstatic that we're not the only ones who see that this dude is TERRIBLE at the stolen base. his own teammates saw it, and are probably sick of him wasting opportunities.

CC out of the bullpen this season.

CC out of the bullpen this season.

Didn't he give up like 5 runs in the 1st his last start Or am I thinking of someone else?

He just gave up 3 in the 1st last time 4 tonight. Only thing that gets him the rotation should be injuries this year.

 

[The War Report]

So, they're trynna turn Refsynder into a utility man. Guess that's his best shot at the majors.

 

[Mantle Drunk]
