    The Yankees are for real.

    Next year the Sox will be living a nightmare if they don't build an offense.

    Thank you Boy Blunder for saddling the Sox with so much dead payroll.

    "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."

    Cleveland's doomed. I never felt confident with a team that blows a lead on the road, even if the deciding game is at home. Just ask the Indians last year. Up 3-1 in the World Series, although they lost Games 6 and 7 at home

    I think girardi will be back. As egregiously bad as his game 2 was, he was still one of the better managers in baseball this year.

    They have been outplayed since game 1.

    Not really. Indians just were a few inches short of heading to the LCS last night. Kluber better pick up his A game. Who is the yanks starter?

    Getting rid of Giradi is taking a step backwards.

    The Yankees are back.

    Why fuck that up?

    Allowing Cash to rebuild was the best decision this FO could have made last year. We’ve developed a young core that most clubs are envious of. The big thing this playoff series is showing as well is the potential of Greg Bird. This kid gives a great AB every time. He can hit lefties, he can hit for power, he plays good D. He is going to be a fixture in our lineup for years to come. This lineup has become so deep. We have power from 1-9. Only Frazier is leaving at season’s end from our starting 9 and we have a wave of kids behind this lineup should anyone falter. We will get under the cap, but we will still have money to spend as ARod and CC come off the books as well as a few others.

    This team could have rolled over when Joe torpedoed game 2. Instead, this young team took the next two games and are poised to face the AL CY front runner in a winner take all game 5. This team has matured far faster than anyone could imagine. They will be a force for years to come

    I think he's gone regardless, my guess is that he will decide to stay away for a year or two

    His press conf yesterday was very emotional, trying to push the right buttons with the players, he wants to motivate the young guys for a final hurrah, hope it works.

    I feel the same, he might not want to come back unless the Stainbrenners convince him to stay (it will take a huge contract if he gets this team to the WS)

    Agreed, he's been doing a terrific job with the young guys

    Not very concerned with Frazier leaving, Andujar is ready to take over, also have Headley as the backup plan and not forget about Torres, who will be ready by spring training.

    If Andujar delivers, then we have a good problem, 5 guys for 4 IF spots, Bird, Castro, Didi, Andujar & Torres

  15. #285
    Me neither. Frazier is superfluous in this system. Andujar and Torres are ready for 3b, but I think both start in the minors with Headley getting the job out of ST. The Yankees like to have their rookies start hot before a callup
