>Adam Wainwright Doesn't Think Jason Heyward Wanted To Be "The One"

fucking Bauer still sucks Cody Anderson is a Better option at 4
>>64518100
Bauer is just inconsistent. Anderson has a good bit of work to do. Right now he's a 5 at best. Maybe Tomlin's strong finish last year after coming off the DL (7-2) means he's back to his 2012-13 form. If that's the case, then the Indians have a rotation that is not only one of the best in baseball in terms of youth and talent, but depth as well. The. If gets problem they have on the team is hitting. It was piss poor last year, not to mention the gaps in the OF, 3B, and the glaring need for a big RH power hitter

I think they were screwed into a corner with the Domestic Violence investigation, so they had to take less than what they should have gotten.
4 minor leaguers is still big though.

As per mai Husbando Kiley McDaniel (ripip in braves) pre 2015 season.
>Eric Jagielo, 3B Video: Jagielo is a pretty straightforward prospect: he has plus power from the left side and the hope is he’ll have a 50 bat and 50 defense at third base, but both are a little fringy right now for scouts. If it all clicks, he’s an above average regular and those two tools hold at fringy or below average, he’s a borderline 45/50 FV first baseman. Jagielo was the first of three first round picks in 2013 (26th overall) as he was the most advanced at the time, but the two chosen behind him (Judge and Clarkin) were upside plays that have both played well so far. Jagielo had a scare in instructs after being hit in the face by a fastball, breaking a bone, but every indication is he’ll be fine and ready for Spring Training.
>>64519423
he is elite
>>64519552
So he makes it to the majors at 25/26 (he's 22 now) as a middle reliever. He's Nick Hagadone 2.0
TIME TO WATCH THE ERA SOAR
>>64518416
>traded a few prospects outside of the top 5
>entire farm
Kept Judge, Mateo, Severino, Bird, Sanchez, Clarkin, Heathcott, etc., etc.
I like Rookie Davis and Jagielo but they don't really have a place in the Yankees future (I don't think Jagielo sticks at 3B and Davis is a tweener). Cotham and Renda are trash.
>>64519646
That post was made bbefore the players were announced
also CASHMAN IS GOAT IF chapman doesn't get fucked by this suspension
>>64519676
Looks like Miller will be traded now. Wonder what the Yankees could get with a Gardner/Miller package...
Betances in the 8th, Chapman in the 9th is gonna make people shit their pants
>>64519676
there is no way theres not a clause that voids the deal in case of a suspension
>>64519729
tfw dont want miller gone
>>64519729
>Looks like Miller
for what purpose? chapman is getting a suspension
trading miller kills the bullpen and puts betances in alone with unproven young relievers
HOLY SHIT CHECK THIS OUT
http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/yankees-get-aroldis-chapman-in-trade-with-reds/
>Chapman was set to be eligible for free agency after next season, but if he receives a lengthy suspension, free agency could be delayed by a year if he loses enough service time.
If Chapman gets suspended for considerable time, the Yanks essentially get to keep him for another year.
>>64519777
I'm not completely sold on that and it won't be longer than 15-20 games anyway. Betances could fill in, in the mean time, and it's not like the Yankees had depth issues before acquiring Chapman. Plus:
>>64519816
The suspension might be a GOOD thing.
>>64519772
Big fan of Miller but it might help the ballclub to deal from a position of strength to address positions of (relative) weakness. Cashman's up to something.
>>64518578
The only ones with big potential are Jagielo and Davis. Davis throws hard but he needs to develop other pitches. Jajielo was our 6th best prospect and Davis is 10th. Cotham could be a good reliever and I've never heard of Renda.
>>64519871
>ay. Betances could fill in, in the mean time, and it's not like the Yankees had depth issues before acquiring Chapman.
The yankees have no proven bullpen aside from betances and shreve who tired out last year
Trading miller will be a mistake
>>64519816
Are we sure he's getting suspended though? The case was dropped and it's pretty clear the whole incident was blown out of proportion. Or will the firing his gun into a wall 8 times get him punished?
>>64519745
There isnt
Thats why they got him cheap
You may only post ITT of your team still has an ELITE CLOSER in the bullpen.
Adittionaly you may only reply to me if your CLOSER is the best in the league.
>>64520014

>>64519990
either way, its a good look for the yankees
>>64520048
Oh man you must be pissed
>>64520048
We have 3 Pissboi
People saying they will trade Miller, Cashman said after the trade that they plan on keeping him.
>>64519931
Wilson was great last year and there is a lot of potential (Lindgren, Pazos, Shreve, Goody, Barabto, etc.). One month of having an average at worst bullpen won't kill the team. Yankees have no long-term answer at 3B, need help in the OF, and could always use SP help. I would easily deal Miller if I could bring in prospects in those areas.
>>64519375
Saw this coming. He's the new Ricciardi and we have to hope the team plays well in spite of the front office, which worked great the last twelve years or so for Rogers until some asshole greek kid GM had to break script for six months
>>64520104
>Wilson was great last year and there is a lot of potential
Wilson was traded he is irrelevant
The rest other than shrever are unproven and lindgren struggled
Trading Miller before Chapman comes back would be a fucking stupid move and the yaankees already have internal OF help with hicks and heathcott

>the Yankees literally have the 3 best closers in the league right now

Why do you keep posting this, faggot? Jelly that your shitty expansion team is nothing more than a meme?
>>64520344
They absolutley should count the same
>>64520253
If Sanchez was a bust, they wouldn't have traded Murphy. Sanchez is their long-term answer for C and just MURDERED the AFL after a great season. Clarkin needs to stay healthy or risks becoming a bust, but he's still the best young arm in the system outside of Severino and Kaprielian. I mean, unless there's some sort of resurrection coming from Ty Hensley or something.
>>64520356
>Kenley is better than all three
>>64520308
Clarkin's arm is done. I'll give Sanchize the benefit of the doubt, he had a decent rebound this past season

They are pretty close, maybe 1 and 2 in baseball.

Face it the NFL did it better when they phased out championships and introduced the superbowl.
I mean obviously championships mean something but it doesn't mean anywhere near as much as a moderntime win.
Only 7 of the Yankees world series should count modern day, but desu Yankees fans shouldn't even be mad at that, considering they'd still have the most world series since 1969 under their name and have some actual competition for numbers.

Wilson was pretty mediocre who got saved by Betances. I don't know why people liked him.
>>64520715
>The posteason before 1969 was basically an allstar game except the players were the best teams in the respective leagues
What the fuck are you even talking about? It was the team with the best record in each league.
>before 1969 the MLB was 16 teams and then 20 teams
So?
>implying having a good team in shittier league go to the world series everytime to end up winning it is a good posteason or a good way to count championships
Are you even speaking English? Are you trying to imply that having the two best teams in each league play each other is less reflective of how good the teams are rather than 3 series?
You're fucking delusional and just bootyblasted your team is an irrelevant shitstain and the town you live in is a flyover shithole
>>64520585
Kenley ranks behind Chapman and Miller in my mind. Not by much though.
>>64520780
Agreed, Shreve is better. That guy is really underrated.
>>64520780
I wouldn't call Wilson mediocre, but he obviously wasn't on the level of Betances or Miller. Wilson's biggest problem was that he couldn't miss bats. Even if no solid contact was made, he would throw so many pitches because people kept fouling off of him. He's still a solid bullpen piece to have though.
>yfw cashman cucks the marlins out of fernandez
Why can't I hold all this pitching?
>>64520842
I would sort of agree but Shreve completely fell off and seemed like he never recovered. Also, Dellin had a garbage September
>>64520946
They were asking for Severino, Bird, Judge, Sanchez, and others. No way it's happening. Let the Doyers trade the farm for him.

>>64520785
>What the fuck are you even talking about? It was the team with the best record in each league.
Exactly what I meant. Which is basically a fucking joke. There was no post season. A post season with 2 people isn't an actual competition, and the world series title shouldn't go to that.

I'm sorry, but a 2 team post season isn't shit and it's basically a glorified all star game except replace game with series and doesn't mean shit.
>16 teams and 20 teams
Less competition for the league leader to face in their respective 8 team and 10 team leagues.
I'm sorry but why does it make you guys so angry when someone suggests world series from 1969 and before when there was a lot less teams and no actual post season should count less than modern day world series wins?
Does it make you upset the only WS win your team has was before 1969?

They didn't have to give up any of their top prospects for one of the best closers in baseball.
Now the Redsox were fucking morons for their price on Kimbrel
fuck the yankees
>>64521018
not that particular trade but it will happen in general I mean
>>64520976
You're a fucking retard. Please stop posting about this. Playoffs are for ratings, not for determining who the best team was. 165 game season and winning your league to make the WS was the better system. Only a pleb from a third world city would disagree.
>>64521018
>trading for a closer who will be out for at least 50 games when you already have an elite closer
>>64521005
They traded their 6th and 10th best prospects, tossed in a mediocre reliever and a literally who. Who is this giving up the farm? Why am I responding to bait?
>>64521022
Back to third place you go :)
>>64520976
>Which is basically a fucking joke
Yeah, the two actual best teams playing each other is a fucking joke
You're a fucking joke

Why? Because your shit team was too shit to compete?
I don't see the issue with that, it actually prioritizes a 162 game regular season. I'm not saying change it, but I don't see the issue. Again, you're just butthurt at 27 rings

Nobody really hates the Yankees unless they are good. They haven't been good in a long time.
Yankees fans are just behaving like Cubs and/or Red Sox fans (truly lamentable fanbases) because despite muh 27 and living in The Greatest City in the World they still get supremely insecure when theyre not the center of attention.

A World Series Championship is only legitimate if the best team in the NL and AL meet.
If they do not,
then that WS does NOT count.
The Dodgers have not appeared in the last 3 WS, making the last 3 WS championships illegitimate.
I know everyone here feels the same way about this as I do. Even if you don't believe the Dodgers have been the best team in the NL you must agree with the other.

Your team is mediocre as fuck. Just accept it; it will soften the blow when you miss the playoffs and start another pathetic 20 year drought.

>Bullpen projections are hard, and there’s a lot of uncertainty, but there’s no getting around that. The Yankees are projected in first by a massive amount. There have been teams before that have had multiple good relievers. There are teams right now that have multiple good relievers. But as far as I can tell, no team has ever had three relievers like this, at one time. The Orioles love having Zach Britton, Darren O’Day, and Mychal Givens, and they should. The Royals love what they’ve got. The Red Sox love what they’ve got. The Yankees are at the top of the class. They have the on-field value and the name value. They’ll flaunt it. It’s classically Yankees.
>I do want to note a few other things. It’s easy to get carried away, because the very notion of this Yankees bullpen is absurd. But while this should look dominant, it shouldn’t look wildly unfamiliar, because just last year the Yankees had Betances, Miller, and Justin Wilson, and they were outstanding. Wilson finished with a WPA of 2.58, while Chapman finished with a WPA of 2.59. Wilson, now, is gone. Chapman’s an upgrade, but not an overhaul. And then there’s this: under Joe Girardi, since 2008, the Yankees rank first in baseball in bullpen WPA, at +56. The Rangers are in second at +36. That’s a 20-win difference in eight seasons, showing that the Yankees have an established history of great relief. This isn’t like if the Tigers put this together. For the Yankees, this is luxury, but they’re accustomed to liking their bullpens.

The only downside of being the Yank's GM is ownership meddling. Brian Cashman has proved that you can have good FA signings, good trades and good farm products.
>>64522644
If suspended more than 45 the Yankees get him for next season too.
If not, then there's always the compensation pick, or the chance of getting him as a FA without losing a pick. Pretty sweet deal for the Yankees courtesy of the Cashman.
>>64522644
Literal who prospects and do you really doubt that the Yankees won't have a great shot at resigning him? I believe if he's suspended for 50 games or so he won't be a free agent until after the next season too
>>64522736
>yankees can't sign a decent free agent pitcher

I mean as in they literally die of old age because they are all old piece of shit like 50+ years old and most of them have taken way too many drugs so their bodies are falling apart as we speak and then the combination of both them being old as shit as well as taking way too many drugs will eventually mean their bodies will give out on them and they'll die and in the literal sense just like their season and their playoff hopes and their championship hopes will all died because it's kind of poetic when you really think about it but thats what i think will happen

Eovaldi, Tanaka, and Pineda are all top tier #2 quality; just a matter of getting innings out of them. I also wouldn't bet against Nova and a sober CC providing some good innings. There's a good amount of depth, which makes the fact that there is no ace bearable. Could also grab someone really decent for a Gardner and Miller package.

Wasn't so hot with him early in the season and especially in that outing against Miami. He was helped alot by tremendous run support. I see him as inconsistent. Tanaka's elbow troubles me and his tendency to give homers. Pienda (same as Eovaldi) is too inconstant.
Maybe i'm too pessimistic tho. I picked them to be under 500 for the last couple of season

Quit being delusional. The Yankees have a mediocre starting rotation right now aside from Tanaka and maybe Severino and they're definitely not gonna end up 2nd in runs scored next year. The offense will be one year older. I do like the upside for the future though. This team will be great in the near future.

>>64525758
I do know how fucking good they were for a stretch you retard. I watched all the games. I'm a Yankee fan. Eovaldi had a good stretch and also got a lot of run support at the start of that winning streak. Pineda was good but inconsistent. I'm more interested to see if Eovaldi can take the leap to the next level. He's got nasty stuff.

Eovaldi had his ERA drop almost a run in the second half
Severino is young and improving
Pineda is incosistent but he showed he could be deadly last year
only question mark is CC/nova
>>64525908
Where the fuck am I supposed to look?
What I mean by dominated is the past few years
>>64525915
I mean if the guy could just fucking bat over .200 he'd literally be up in the majors with a finite position.
But the guy might literally go down as the most wasted potential in a single player
Like his defense is fucking absurd.
>>64525912
He can make his fastball drop like a sinker at times while keeping the velocity.
>>64525950
Still is awful, maybe if you had a better rotation you would be able to be the Indians

He's a great groundball pitcher who keeps the ball in the park, despite the fact that he throws hard as fuck. He's not quite as good as his record was, but he was very fucking good last year. He was absolutely #2 quality last year and he's probably the Yankees' #4.

Archer is an ace. The rest of the rotation is a bunch of question marks, but I wouldn't be shocked if this one does really well. Could go either way.

I'll give you this one, but only if Salazar takes the next step forward.
>Mariners
Felix and Iwakuma were uncharacteristically mediocre last year. Walker has the stuff, but hasn't shown much at the MLB level. Shit beyond that. I'd take the Yankees any day.
That leaves the Yankees at maybe 4, but potentially #2 depending on Severino. There is a large gap between Houston and the rest of the league.

Carrasco and Kluber are legit, I was implying that they needed Salazar to take a step forward to be elite. Anderson, Bauer, and Tomlin are nothing special.
>>64526586
Idk niqqa but what I do know is that he allowed close to 4 runs on average in his career.
>>64526547
And yet he has ring and perfect game. :^)
>>64526600
Tru but that back end of the rotation really keeps up the streaks, the fact that Tomlin came back and dominated was a good sign
That moment when you realize when the Yankees have a top 10 rotation and lineup and the best bullpen by a long way. BTW, Betences is better then Kenly or whatever that faggots name is. Im waiting for a Dodger/Yankee World Series, because that's what it'll be, and all you fags will start crying cus >muh projections , and the Yankees will collect their 28th ring. Also, the dodgers are easily the best NL team, with the best rotation IMO (dont really follow NL but I know dodgers will be clinch pennant) besides the Yankees. Way better rotation than the shitty ass Mets, lol. All their rookie fags will blow out their arms, so much for their "legacy", lol.

the only one who is arguably better is Price, and he loses points for being so fucking godawful in big games
Keuchel had a fluke season, he won't be as good
Felix is on a decline, not as elite anymore
Kluber is simply a step below, he's a solid third place

The Dodgers will obviously sign Maeda, and besides, who needs anyone besides Kershaw, the GOAT? Bumgarner gave up 50 homeruns last year, and is a wifebeater. Cueto is an NL baby+ he's is extremely overrated. Go fuck yourself with a pencil.

>>64527139
lets do it fampai
>>64526600
Bauer should take the next step this year. Key word being "should". Whether or not he can get his control in check is the factor there. Tomlin was shaping up to be a good number 3 by this point had he not got injured, but he's still a good bottom rotation guy, especially with his starts since coming back (7-2). Anderson is unpolished, but has good potential. After that, it's a matter of Clevenger and how he develops if called up. They've mentioned bringing in McCallister to the rotation again, but that's a terrible notion, he's best left in the bullpen.
>>64527075
>The Dodgers will obviously sign Maeda,
And you know this how exactly?
>and besides, who needs anyone besides Kershaw, the GOAT?
every team needs a solid starting rotation, or at the very least a solid starting 3. If you don't, it doesn't matter how good your offense is, your team will still suck, see Diamondbacks last year
>Bumgarner gave up 50 homeruns last year, and is a wifebeater.

>Cueto is an NL baby+ he's is extremely overrated.

I know, that's why I hope Tito is just bullshitting about him seeing time in the rotation. Why they keep giving him an opportunity, I don't know. Oit of the pen he doesn't have to hold back and can throw his stuff with more velocity and movement rather than try to pace with 91 mph fastballs and a change up that doesn't move.
