Seriously, can it get any worse in NY?

Maybe Kevin Maas can play 1st for 'em.

5th place is a lock

Big Tex has been quite a disapointment considering that contract....

.256
.248
.251
The last three years.....yuck, AND $22.5 million per year?

They arent paying him for his batting average. You left out the stats that they gave him that contract for.

 

[ballerskrip]

I tend to disagree

OPS -4 years before yankees contract
.954
.886
.963
.962
Average of .941

Since New contract
.948
.846
.835
.807
Average of .859, with a severe downtrend, average of .829 the last three years, 112 point drop from pre-contract.

So, they aren't paying him for slugging or on base percentage either? Practically 100 point drop in OPS isn't good my friend.

If it wasn't the Yankees I would be sad for him.

And if that ped tweet about cano wasnt bs, I think the astros will have more wins.

 

[BrewerSuperCollector]

I just feel terrible.

And, if only the Dodgers didn't bail out the Red Sox on Crawford's contract.

They are paying him to drive in runs, which he does. The three full years that he played he finished 1st, 8th and 4th in the league. Last year he didnt play a full season so..

 

[ThoseBackPages]

they also pay him to play an amazing first base

 

[BBCgalaxee]

So, who plays first?

If hafner does, who is dh?

Maybe Youkalis, but then they have to find a third baseman.

That's right.

 

[vwnut13]

Who knows, maybe Brandon Laird!

Oh wait, the Yankees cut him for Steve Pearce, and then cut Pearce a few weeks later.

Yes, they could be the Mets.

Um, no. Hafner has been useless in the field for years and Cashman basically said as much. Youkilis at 3rd is the best option they have there and 1B can be fielded by anyone (remember Giambi?). Likely going to be a Diaz/Dan Johnson/Juan Rivera mix of crap there, but at least Youk should be solid at the tougher defensive position.

I can't believe I'm actually relieved we have Youkilis on the team...

 

[bigpapiMA32]

That's right.

Ha, excellent.

It's been so bad for the Yanks, even their GM is on the DL.....

For a guy who broke his ankle and his fibula whilesky-diving for charity earlier this week Yankees general manager Brian Cashman seemed awfully upbeat about the whole thing yesterday.
“I feel surprisingly good,” Cashman said, via Wallace Matthews of ESPN New York. “I’m not moving very well. I have no pain, which is surprising.”
Drugs are a helluva drug.
Cashman needed surgery to insert a plate into his leg and eight screws into his ankle, but did note that the injury making so many headlines enabled him to “take a negative and turn it into a positive” by drawing more attention to the Wounded Warriors Project.
There were probably ways to do that in which using crutches for two months weren’t required, but charity is charity I suppose. Oh, and Cashman also said he might do it again once he heals up.
