I could see us looking to acquire him.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
Did anybody actually watch him play last year. It was ugly! His swing is more screwed up than a yankee fan in a mental hospital!!!!
Free agent probably looking for a one year deal with a “make good” contract...
I think he's definitely worth a 1 year deal. He is a prime bounce back candidate IMO.Originally Posted by notin
If I'm his agent to m on the phone right now to Bloom .Gennett would be a fan favorite.
... unless he sucks...
Notin lol true
Gennett was hurt and never recovered. The question is, can he be healthy? I’d love to go one year deal with him for the Yanks
The Yankees top priority isn't likely to be infield. They could easily go into the season with Voit/Ford-LeMahieu-Torres-Urshela around the infield, and still be looking for a place to play Andujar.
So unless Gennett converts to SP and excels at it right away, I would doubt this is a move for them...
You cannot just leave the offense entirely alone. With Didi and Gardner departing, we will become even more right handed. Our offense has struggled vs same sided throwers for three years in a row and we are about to lose two lefties. Gennett is a lefty and playing in YS would be a great way to recoup value
Interestingly, we out pitched the Astros in the ALCS. We just couldn’t get the big hits when we needed them
Maybe they made the big pitches when they needed them.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
So the 7 game sample of the ALCS usurps the 162 game sample that precedes it? The Astros' starting pitching ranked 4th in MLB with 19.4 fWAR. The Yankees' SP tied for 16th with Detroit at 10.6 fWAR. Even the pitching-needy Red Sox did better.
Perhaps you outpitched the Astros because Astro pitching was facing a tougher lineup? It's not like all things were equal there...
How Much?
The Astros' offense was historically anemic in the ALCS (stats from MLB.com). Batting average with runners in scoring position: Hou .109, NY .171. Batting average with runners in scoring position and two outs: Hou .048, NY .190. Batting average in the seventh or later: Hou .149, NY .176.
The difference is the last three games was three-run homers. Houston had two three-run homers to win Game Four and New York had a three-run homer to win Game Five. In the finale, each side had two HRs apiece, and both jacked two-run bombs in the epic 9th... but an early three-run blast for the Astros, as opposed to a NY solo shot, was the margin of victory.
