How's Pineda working out for you guys?

As a Yankees fan, I still got a chuckle out of this retort.

Working out better than overpaying for the entire Yankee roster the last 2 years.

Darvish will be fine he was the best free agent pitcher on the market.

 

[TraderJake]

A lot worse than Cespedes

You talk about overpaying? What's a 100 mil?

 

[markakis8]

Better than Hideki Irabu and Kei Igawa, that's for sure.

Not every day you pay a guy $20 million to suck in AAA.

I'd rather pay someone $20m to suck in AAA than $20m to suck in the MLB.

Darvish will be fine he was the best free agent pitcher on the market LAST YEAR.

Just saying the Yankees pay alot of money for the entire team and its a failure if they don't win it all.
As much as I hate it. There is the Yankees and then everybody else, most dominate franchise in the history of professional sports.

They had to do something to replace CJ Wilson and Darvish was the best option they had.
Darvish may not be dominating but he is doing decent, fits in with the team and is capable of making adjustments and winning 14-16 games this year. May be not worth all the money he is getting but he is definetly not the only MLB player to NOT EARN his entire paycheck. Its not like they spent all 100 million this year he still has 5 more years on his contract and he is making 5.5 million this year. The posting fee was chicken scratch the owners just sold some oil and cattle to raise that money

Still waiting for his RC auto prices to drop...

Those aren't driven by the US market, so don't expect much of a dent there.

exactly, look how well nomo autos still sell for.

 

[SeattleSports]

Anyone realized the other Japanese pitcher that came to the US is actually outpitching him lately for just over $1M?
Last start against the Blue Jays - Hideki Iwakuma - 8IP, 4H, 1R, 13 K's.

 

[MojoDan]

I'm kinda confused. Usually when Matt starts a thread it's geared towards his frustration with the Yankees...


Usually titled: " Hi, I'm (player name here) and the body of the text is sarcasm about the men in pinstripes.


What gives Matt?:lol:

I have seen this written on these boards so many times... The word is DOMINANT.

The train wreck from last night could've been avoided with a non-rushed, decent throw by Kinsler in the 3rd. It would've been an inning-ending double play and Darvish would've had a scoreless 3rd. The Angels ended up with 6 that inning.

He's a little too inconsistent for my liking and have contemplated dropping him from my fantasy team because he can destroy a guy's WHIP and ERA.

And Kuroda is the Yankees best pitcher.

I think someone from the CDC needs to see where Yu Darvish and Tim Lincecum crossed paths as they both seem to have the same affliction.
