Beltran is out too
MLB reports Aaron Boone is the man.
I will be happy that he will no longer be on Sunday Night Baseball.

Intriguing to say the least
I was going to say the exact same thing!
Me too. That team sucks.
"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Maybe Jessica Mendoza will b named his bench coach so we can get her out of the booth too.

The Yankees were looking for a young voice who used analytics. I’m sure Boone proved that in the interview. Other than that, not a soul knows if he’ll be any good, so we all have to reserve judgement
Agreed.
The trend in managers seems to be moving away from the old school guys and moving towards younger guys who can supposedly relate to the players better and who will embrace analytics. I don't know if will work or not, but I like it.
It's a very interesting and surprising choice. I'd like to say it's a mistake because of the lack of experience, but Cashman has been making all the right moves lately, so I'm in no position to criticize him.
I don't know how to feel about this, he was a solid clubhouse guy, but other than that... I see no obvious qualifications for the job. I need to trust Cashman on this
If Boone had any interest in sabermetics, he hid it from the world, unlike D.Cone who quoted sabermetic stats on a regular basis.
I continue to believe that Cashman has made two huge mistakes:
(1) Trading A.Miller for a hyped prospect in C.Frazier and a few other pieces. If the Yankees have A.Miller, they might have won the W.S. last year.
(2) Firing a quality manager in Joe Girardi just to save a few bucks for a guy with no managerial experience. I could be wrong (caveat), but I think the Yankees will pay the price for this decision in 2018.
Lol. Troll!
