Waiting patiently for the Cavalry…
A week's worth of crickets…
For excited as I was for the Baseball Winter Meetings, it was a very unfulfilling time for Yankees fans. The AL East got stronger as both the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays made significant improvements, and the Baltimore Orioles, while they didn't make a move, are still a better team on paper.
Losing David Robertson hurt. I fully recognize that not even the Yankees should be paying multiple guys in the pen $12+ million per year so I understand the decision to let Robertson walk after signing last year's prized lefty Andrew Miller. Still, when I saw those words, "White Sox to sign David Robertson", it was a painful sight to see.
USA Today Sports
Part of me, for a few days, imagined a bullpen with Robertson, Betances, and Miller for manager Joe Girardi and the limitless possibilities. After watching the Kansas City Royals and their stellar pen, it was hard not to dream of a similar equation for the Yankees. With so many question marks in the rotation, a 'lights out' bullpen is a must. With Robertson gone, there's no reason why the Yankees still can't have a superior bullpen. But losing Robertson does show that we care about our tenured players. Well, except when their name is Alex Rodriguez.
I am in favor of naming Dellin Betances as the team's closer in spring training. I think Miller will be great as the primary setup guy and the earlier innings are in great hands with Adam Warren, Shawn Kelley and others. A year ago, there were questions about Robertson's ability to close. His attempt to close in 2012 when Mariano Rivera got hurt was unsuccessful. The team ultimately went to Rafael Soriano who held the role for the duration of the season.
Mariano Rivera was an exception. Most guys are unable to pitch at the level required to close for an extended period of time. The days of Rivera and Trevor Hoffman are over. From a financial standpoint, it makes the most sense to have a shorter term view when it comes to a closer so that you don't get locked into a bad contract (a la Jonathan Papelbon) as the closer ages and naturally deteriorates. Robertson may still be playing at a very high level in four years, but equally, there's a chance that he is not. He always seems to pitch in and out of trouble, but as he ages, his ability to get out of those jams may not quite be there. He'll evolve as a pitcher and I am sure that he'll make the necessary adjustments, but at the end of the day, the Yankees are better off not being locked into Robertson for four years at $48 million. Betances showed that he is the team's future closer. Next year may be a bit premature, but it was inevitable.
The most important thing for the Yankees is to now re-invest the $12 million per year savings into other areas. Bring back Chase Headley. Possibly sign a short term closing alternative like Jason Grilli. Make a run for Max Scherzer. But the key is to do something. The Yankees, as they presently stand, will not win in October.
How much? See ya…
Speaking of bad contracts, I was blown away by the commitment the Los Angeles Dodgers made to Brandon McCarthy. I thought McCarthy was a great pickup last season and hoped the Yankees could re-sign him to a team friendly deal. But like Robertson, I am glad the Yankees did not commit those years and dollars to McCarthy. He is a huge injury risk and in the Dodgers case, McCarthy failed last year in the NL West when he was with the Arizona Diamondbacks. While I hope McCarthy has a great Dodgers career, my fear is that he and the team's DL list will become good buddies. I hope I'm wrong but baseball generally proves 'past performance equals future results'…
Slowly but surely…
The week preceding the Baseball Winter Meetings was good. The Yankees acquired their 2015 shortstop with the acquisition of Didi Gregorius and the aforementioned lefty artist Andrew Miller, dominant against both righties and lefties. It was a good start but the team obviously still has much work to do before spring.
I hear so many Yankees fans say that Gregorius is not Derek Jeter. Nothing against Jeter, but I'd rather see a 24 year old Gregorius starting at short over a 41 year old Jeter. Gregorius may not be the player Jeter was in his prime, but Jeter wasn't in his prime anymore and the Yankees had to do something to improve following Jeter's retirement. So, to me, Gregorius is his own man in the position. It is up to him to succeed or fail, without regard to Jeter. I was a huge Don Mattingly fan, but I gave Tino Martinez a chance from his first at-bat and his early struggles did not waver my support. Tino turned out to be one of my most beloved players over the years and I never compared him to Mattingly.
It is possible that Gregorius fails. If so, the Yankees move on to another option. 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained'. But at this point in time, it is his time. Let's give him a chance…

All I want for Christmas is…
Now if we could just send A-Rod anyway. I know, it's not that easy. The most expensive DH/bench player in baseball history. It's too bad those dollars can't be re-directed to a guy like Max Scherzer. Maybe some challenges are too much for even the Yankees to overcome. But I'd love to have the money the Yankees have probably spent trying to find a way.
Yanks have a new shortstop – yes, in-Didi!…
Filling a position of need…
Finally, there is life in the Bronx! Of course, it was only a matter of time given the needs of the team, but today was a day of large activity by the New York Yankees.
The morning was greeted with news that the Yankees had acquired shortstop Didi Gregorius from the Arizona Diamondbacks, shipping starting pitcher Shane Greene to the Detroit Tigers in a three-way trade. While it's never good to relinquish young, controllable pitching talent, the price of a 4th or 5th starter (or possibly long reliever) in Greene to acquire a starting shortstop was a no-brainer.

Gregorius is not coming to the Bronx to replace Derek Jeter. He is merely the man who will be penciled into the slot created by the retirement of the future Hall of Famer. But truth be told, short looks so much better in the hands of a 25 year old than it would have with a 41 year old regardless of the achievements for the latter. Gregorius will bring good defense to an infield that needed help. He may not hit, but he'll hit better than backup shortstop Brendan Ryan. He may be headed into the season as a platoon with Ryan (per Brian Cashman's words earlier today), but Gregorius will have every opportunity to prove that the position is his. The Yankees are much better with his presence. Time will tell if he is a short or long term solution, but for now, he is an improvement over the speculated possibilities of Stephen Drew, Asdrubal Cabrera or Jed Lowrie.
SOMEONE had to take Jeter's spot and it may as well be Didi.
With Greene's departure, the obvious first question is whether this will motivate the Yankees to pursue Max Scherzer. While I would love the Yankees to pursue Jon Lester, it seems almost too late in the process for the Yankees to enter the picture since it has been speculated that Lester will choose his destination next week during the Winter Meetings.
My fear is that the Boston Red Sox will soon be touting both Lester and Cole Hamels in their starting rotation which is even more reason that the Yankees need a true ace at the top of their staff. Too many questions with the other starters so Scherzer is sorely needed.
It's Miller Time!…
In the morning, it was also reported that reliever Andrew Miller would be deciding his selection today. Later, it was announced the Yankees were his choice. I wouldn't say that they 'won' the bidding since technically, they were runner-up to the Houston Astros who offered more, but Miller felt the Yankees were the better destination. Of course, it helps that Miller makes his home in Tampa so it will be a short commute to spring training.

Miller's signing makes the most sense if the Yankees can somehow re-sign closer David Robertson. The bullpen is so much stronger with the trio of Robertson, Dellin Betances and Miller than it is with Betances and Miller as co-closers. Given the shortcomings of the starting rotation, mastery of the 6th innings on will be crucial. I really like the thought of two powerful lefties in the pen (Miller and newcomer Justin Wilson, acquired earlier in the off-season from Pittsburgh). Of course, last year's top draft selection, lefty reliever Jacob Lindgren is burning through the system and will be in the major league bullpen in the not so distant future. So, for a team that has struggled with finding dominant left-handed relief in recent years, they'll soon be dealing with a position of strength. Manager Joe Girardi must be getting good night's sleep these days.
I love the Baseball Winter Meetings. It is always my favorite time of the off-season. Of course, as a Yankees fan, my team is generally very active during the week. Last year's flurry of acquiring Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran on the same day was such a rush. Kind of like today when the Yankees acquired Gregorius and Miller…
When they needed a manager, the Rays simply took the Cash…
Finally, the Tampa Bay Rays announced their new manager when they named former catcher Kevin Cash to the position.
I was a little surprised that the Rays are replacing perhaps baseball's best manager with a guy who has never managed before. But Cash has been learning the craft under the watchful eye of Tito Francona in Cleveland as bullpen coach, and he brings the right amount of enthusiasm and intelligence to the position. Clearly, new Rays President Matt Silverman is trying to place his own stamp on the team. The best choice would have been to hire former Rays bench coach Dave Martinez but of course, that would have been a carryover from the Andrew Friedman-Joe Maddon regime. All things considered, I am glad that Martinez was able to slide over to the Chicago Cubs to continue his role as bench coach for Maddon.
It will be interesting to see how Cash does. It's interesting that he can claim World Series rings with both the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. Now, he'll see those teams routinely as a member of the AL East. Hopefully, he does well and his stay in St Petersburg is long and mutually rewarding. Well so long as it doesn't involve any AL East or World Series championships.
The next week should be interesting regardless of what happens. The Yankees have awakened from their slumber…
Waiting for Signs of Life…
How to build an 80-win team…
The Boston Red Sox have gotten stronger with the recent additions of Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval, and most likely, the re-signing of their former ace Jon Lester in the coming weeks. The Toronto Blue Jays quietly signed catcher Russell Martin (a significant upgrade over Dioner Navarro) and last night, pulled off a major trade for arguably one of the best third basemen in the game in Josh Donaldson of the Oakland A's. The cost for Donaldson was Brett Lawrie and prospects. Given Lawrie's inability to stay healthy, this trade provides further enhancement for a team that has held promise for a few years.
Lance Iversen, The Chronicle
Then there's the Baltimore Orioles. They may not have made any big moves but they are still the AL East champs until proven otherwise.
I am not sure what's going on with the Tampa Bay Rays. They will be losing a great potential manager in bench coach Dave Martinez when they finally name a replacement for Joe Maddon and the team no longer has the feeling of eternal optimism that it had when Maddon and former GM Andrew Friedman were running the show. So, we'll leave them out of the equation.
So, clearly, the Blue Jays and Red Sox are determined to challenge the Orioles' hold on the division championship. Meanwhile, in the Bronx, just crickets…
Last winter, the Yankees were quiet at the beginning of the off-season but then launched a flurry of signings in December that netted Brian McCann, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Carlos Beltran. It was a lot of money, but it still had the feeling the money could have been better spent. Of course, if the Yankees would have just paid Russell Martin a few years ago rather than allow him to leave as a free agent, the Yankees could have gotten him much cheaper than the deal they signed McCann to (or the one Martin ultimately signed with the Jays). Ellsbury is a known risk given his injury risk. He held up fairly well in his first season in pinstripes, and I like having him on the team. But the truth is the Yankees had a center fielder on the roster at the time in Brett Gardner and would have been better served going after a bat for left field. Beltran has been a great major leaguer but his age simply does not bode well for staying healthy.
Now, I could write major concerns with Ramirez and Sandoval, but the Red Sox are dealing from a position of strength and have loosened some major league players, combined with quality prospects, to make a major trade to further strengthen the team (such as a move for the Philadelphia Phillies ace Cole Hamels). The Yankees last year were just trying to fill holes.
I am surprised that the Yankees have not been linked in any way with star free agents Jon Lester and Max Scherzer. Clearly, either one would immediately enhance the Yankees' chances in 2015. They need to find answers for other positions (third base, shortstop and the bullpen) but a high end rotation is a must for any team to succeed. As it stands, there are too many questions with Masahiro Tanaka's elbow, Michael Pineda's ability to stay healthy or if CC Sabathia is riding the major downslope of his career.
The Yankees need to sign either Scherzer or Lester, and retain the free agent trio of Brandon McCarthy, Chase Headley, and David Robertson. With this off-season of inactivity, it feels like the Yankees are going to lose out on all of the above. At least today, two days after Thanksgiving.
I remain hopeful that Rob Refsnyder wins the second base job in spring training. As for shortstop, the easiest solution is to re-sign Stephen Drew. It's really too bad that the organization was unable to develop a high level shortstop prospect in time for Derek Jeter's departure. Jorge Mateo looks like a strong possibility but he's years away from being ready for the major league level. So, the Yankees are best served finding a short-term solution like Drew and hope for a bounce back year with a full training camp. I'd prefer that over a trade that could potentially cost what high level talent the Yankees do have in the upper levels of the minor league system.
If the Yankees do nothing, they'll be battling the Rays for last place. If they merely try to fill holes with cheaper alternatives, they'll still be cellar rats. Something has to give….soon.
I agree with Hal Steinbrenner when he says that you don't need a $200 million payroll to win but the Yankees roster as currently constructed is not championship-caliber in my opinion. Too much risk and uncertainty, and players who've seen their better days. Alex Rodriguez is such a huge albatross and it's a shame that he is now the "face" of the team.
Hopefully, Brian Cashman and the Steinbrenner boys have a plan in place that is driven for success and not merely a bean counter's approach to fielding a team.
Time will tell, as it often does (as the saying goes)…
Anxious for the Hot Stove League to begin…
The Element of Surprise…
The World Series is not yet over, but the 2014-15 Hot Stove League is already well under way.
The biggest shocker was the announcement that Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon had opted out of his contract to become a free agent. While I knew that there was a financial gap between what Maddon would require upon the conclusion of his contract next year and what the Rays would be willing to pay, I certainly didn't expect Maddon's sudden availability. Interesting that he had to be told about the two week clause to opt out of his contract should former GM Andrew Friedman depart, but clearly a signal that the Rays organization wants to show that they are more than the Friedman-Maddon show. I've read that the Rays didn't want Maddon playing as a lame duck manager next season and that makes sense. Still, he is regarded as one of the best, if not the best, manager in baseball.
Tampa Bay Times
I had expected Maddon's availability to put Don Mattingly on thin ice in Los Angeles, but publicly the Dodgers have stood behind Mattingly as their manager for 2015. While I don't think that Mattingly is the manager that Maddon is, I do believe that he eventually will be. Mattingly has continued to improve in my eyes, and he deserves the opportunity to succeed with the Dodgers. But it must be hard for new Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman sit idly by while his close friend is available to the highest bidder. With the only remaining managerial opening being in Minneapolis, it's a given that if Maddon manages in 2015, a team will make a late decision to jettison their current manager. Speculation that it will be the Chicago Cubs certainly makes sense, but I feel bad for Rick Renteria who did a very good job last year with the younger Cubs.
If I owned a baseball team, I'd certainly consider making a change to bring in Maddon. It will be interesting to see where he lands. I really doubt that he'll sit out a year waiting for the next job.
Meanwhile, I certainly do not feel bad for the Tampa Bay Rays. I am in favor of anything that weakens AL East Rivals, but I am sure that Tampa will be fine.
Strike One…
For the Yankees, they missed their guy when Chili Davis signed a three year deal to be the new hitting coach for the Boston Red Sox. Chili was my personal favorite for the job, and had hoped for his reunion with the Yanks. But it was not meant to be. With Dave Magadan off the board, it's anybody's guess who will replace Kevin Long as the Yankees hitting coach. Of the latest names, I do like the idea of the Yankees pursuing Rays hitting coach Derek Shelton or if they stay in house, someone like James Rowson. Without strong clear cut options, it does make one wonder if the Yanks were premature in letting Long go. It certainly didn't take him long to find a new job in Flushing Meadow. With his reputation, it was a certainty that he wouldn't remain unemployed very long.
John Munson/The Star-Ledger
In retrospect, the Yankees should have kept Long and brought in an assistant hitting coach. Regardless of who they hire as a replacement, I still think the Yankees should join the many team now employing two hitting coaches. My personal favorite for that role continues to be Hideki Matsui.
A wasted roster spot…
With the World Series now tied up, I am hopeful that it goes the full seven games. While I want the San Francisco Giants to win, I am not ready for the announcement that Alex Rodriguez has rejoined the Yankees active roster. I am not looking forward to his return and I do not feel that he'll be the productive player that he once was. In my opinion, he'd look better someplace like Miami but the guy has no trade value unless the Yankees are willing to absorb what's left on his inflated contract. He is definitely the poster child against long-term contracts. This has turned out to be one of the worst that I've ever seen. The thought of three more years of A-Rod is so incredibly painful. I sincerely hope that A-Rod's presence does not deter the Yankees from re-signing free agent third baseman Chase Headley.
There was once a time that I thought A-Rod would never wear pinstripes again but sadly, it appears that I was wrong. Of course, it's not my money and the Yankees still owe A-Rod too much to just release him.
Assuming the Yankees do bring back Headley, the position that scares me the most next season is first base. It's hard to count on Mark Teixeira and when he plays, he is a shell of the player he once was. It is looking like A-Rod will be playing some first base which brings its own questions. I remain hopeful that Rob Refsnyder grabs second base in spring training. As for Derek Jeter's replacement at short, I think the answer is outside of the organization. More than likely, it will be a short term solution. Asdrubal Cabrera probably makes the most sense unless it is determined that his long term future is better suited for second base.
With the World Series set to end either Tuesday or Wednesday, I am sure that the Hot Stove League will start heating up if the last few weeks have been any indication. No offense to either the Giants or the Kansas City Royals, but, outside of A-Rod, I am ready for the rebuilding of the Yankees to begin…
Wanted: Batting Magician and Shift Neutralizer…
The first swing is a strike…
OK, I am bummed. Today's news, aside from the fact that my beloved Minnesota Vikings and San Jose Sharks lost games, was the Boston Red Sox naming former Yankee Chili Davis as their new hitting coach. I had really hoped we'd see the return of Davis to New York to replace the departed Kevin Long. However, it is not meant to be. Not sure if Davis decided not to wait on the Yankees, or if they made a lower offer, or if Davis simply looked into the crystal ball and saw greater potential with the 2015 Red Sox hitters.
I wish Chili the best in his new job, and I am sure that he'll be a huge benefit for Yoenis Cespedes given their prior success together in Oakland.
Where does that leave the Yankees? At this point, Dave Magadan is probably the strongest name on the board. Dante Bichette has been mentioned as a possibility. I have not kept up with Dante's post-playing career, but he is an intriguing name given his close friendship with Manager Joe Girardi and his son is a prospect in the Yankees system. Another name that intrigues me is Jason Giambi. Not sure if he is ready to pull the plug on his playing days, but he's obviously already moved into a mentoring role and would be a great guy for the position. With so many teams moving to the two hitting coach approach, I think the Yankees should follow suit regardless of who gets the job. A perfect combo might be Magadan with Hideki Matsui as his assistant hitting coach.
While I am disappointed that Chili Davis is no longer an option, I wonder if the team has already made its decision. Reports are that a new coach could be named by Tuesday which leads me to believe the Yankees have either made their decision or they've significantly narrowed the choices.
Hopefully next week brings some good news regarding Joe Girardi's coaching staff. It's funny. When your team is not in the World Series, you are anxious for the WS to end so that the Hot Stove League can begin.
Speaking of the World Series, I am pulling for the San Francisco Giants by default. My NL team is the Los Angeles Dodgers but sadly they couldn't make it to the NLCS. As a Bay Area resident, it's not too hard to default to the Giants even if they are the Dodgers bitterest rival. It doesn't matter that the Giants have that 'been there, done that' feel to them whereas the Kansas City Royals are returning to a stage they haven't seen since 1985. I am ready for another Orange October…
Let's start this the right way…
1-0 to start the 2014-15 Off-Season…
First order of business has been accomplished. With the signing of GM Brian Cashman to a new three year deal, the off-season can officially begin. I am glad that Cashman will be returning, although I certainly would not have been opposed to Billy Eppler stepping into the role.
I found Cashman's words about Alex Rodriguez to be intriguing. It was a public admission that the team does not plan to rely upon Rodriguez as its everyday third baseman. Granted, I am not an A-Rod fan, but I openly prefer to see the return of Chase Headley or would support the free agent acquisition of someone like Pablo Sandoval. To hear Cashman talk about A-Rod possibly playing first base, I think that's a great idea as Mark Teixeira is another older veteran who can no longer be relied upon to perform every day. Of course, the use of 1B/DH between Teixeira and A-Rod doesn't really leave much room for Carlos Beltran on those days that he can't play the field.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I would still like to see the Yankees find a way to sever ties with A-Rod even if it means eating his contract. Easy for me to say given it is not my money but A-Rod, the 40-year old hip "impaired" DH that has not played in a year will not perform to the level of the money he is still owed. So, filling the roster spot with a younger, more durable player certainly makes sense.
At this point in Cashman's career, he is building his Yankees legacy as the longest running Yankees GM that I've ever known. When his time is over, he'll be remembered among the best of the all-time Yankees GMs. Rebuilding a winner in the next three years would go a long way toward putting Cashman at the head of the class. Of course, failure could mean his dismissal. After 17 years on the job, he is truly entering "what have you done for me lately?" territory.
The Fall Guys…
I have long agreed that Kevin Long has been a great hitting coach, but for whatever reason, the message didn't work this year. Perhaps it was the direct product of the available talent on the roster or it was the loss of a vital cog in the heart of the order when Robinson Cano fled for Seattle. But regardless of the reasons, it was time for a change. So, I was not disappointed when I heard that Long and first base coach Mick Kelleher had been fired.
My personal preference for hitting coach would be the Oakland A's Chili Davis. I know that the A's offense stalled late in the season, but I've always respected Davis and what his bat meant to a lineup.
The Yankees will be competing with the Boston Red Sox in their search since the Sox also need a hitting coach.
Giant hope…
For the World Series, after the Yankees failed to reach the play-offs and the Los Angeles Dodgers bowed out in the first round, my latest preference is the San Francisco Giants. Maybe it's because I am a Bay Area resident but it would be good to see the Giants prevail even if the Giants and St Louis Cardinals have been frequent participants of the Fall Classic in recent years. There's no way that I'll pull for the Baltimore Orioles or the Kansas City Royals regardless of how many years it has been since they last won. I had really hoped that Don Mattingly and the Dodgers would have succeeded with arguably the best pitcher in baseball with Clayton Kershaw but his 0-2 mark against the Cards sealed their fate.
I know the Fat Lady is not singing but…
So close, yet so far away…
The Yankees may only be 3 games back in the Wild Card chase as they enter play this evening, but trailing three teams for two spots sounds a bit daunting. Particularly when two of those teams are perhaps the best in the American League with the Oakland A's and the Detroit Tigers. At the end of play last night, Oakland, Detroit and the Seattle Mariners were tied. While I think the Yankees could catch the Mariners, the odds are against them when it comes to the A's (or Angels) or the Tigers (or Royals).
Much larger leads have fallen in the past, but I think the superiority of the A's and Tigers will win out. If they take their divisions, the Angels and Royals both field superior teams to the Yankees. I don't think there are any waiver deals at the deadline that can be made to improve this year's Yankees. As with the non-waiver deadline in July, I didn't want the Yankees to part with prospects nor do I now. If I legitimately felt that the team had a chance in October, perhaps I'd feel differently. But the 2014 Yankees, even if they landed a Wild Card spot, would be destined for a one game Wild Card loss or if they prevailed, they'd be bounced in the first round.
It's disappointing as a Yankees fan as it doesn't feel like championship hopes can be restored in the short term. The Yankees are 11 games ahead of the Boston Red Sox, and yet, the outlook for the 2015 Red Sox is far more promising.
Huh, I didn't know he was available?…
When I heard that the Yankees had signed Chris Young to a minor league deal, my first thought was when did the Seattle Mariners get rid of their starting pitcher who is 12-6 with a 3.16 ERA on the season? But then I heard the talk about him playing the outfield and realized they were talking about the other one. I don't know much about OF Chris Young but it seems like he was once a promising Arizona Diamondback who had a disappointing 2013, signed with the Mets and continued to underwhelm until his release. Given the Yanks success with ex-Diamondbacks (i.e., Martin Prado and Brandon McCarthy) perhaps Young will revert to his old form under the tutelage of the Pinstripes. Not sure if the Yankees will call him up before or after September 1st but he seems like a good replacement for Ichiro Suzuki if he is successful.
A little early to look to next year but…
With the success of Shane Greene and Brandon McCarthy in the starting rotation, it will be interesting next year. While CC Sabathia will be returning, I honestly do not know what the Yankees will be getting and if it will be an upgrade over Greene or McCarthy. Michael Pineda and Masahiro Tanaka are obvious locks, although Ivan Nova might be delayed since he's coming off Tommy John surgery. I think this is the final year in the United States for Hiroki Kuroda before he heads back to Japan permanently. Still, even if the starting rotation projects to be Tanaka-Pineda-Sabathia-McCarthy-Greene, I fully expect the Yankees to go after a free agent pitcher like Jon Lester. Lester, partnered with a healthy Tanaka, at the head of the rotation would be huge.
Lester was my favorite pitcher when he played for Boston so having him on the Yankees would be ideal.
There will be lots of interesting decisions to be made by Manager Joe Girardi and company. And oh yeah, we'll have to deal with the return of he who shall remain nameless at third and DH.
You win some, you lose some, i.e., 2014 Yankees…
Mediocrity continues…
Realistically, there was no way the Yankees could have been players at the trading deadline. Despite the usual rumors tying the Yankees to David Price, Tampa Bay was not going to trade their prized pitcher to New York, only to have him haunt them for years. It was potentially an opportunity for the Rays to strip the Yankees cupboards bare but that would have been foolish on the Yankees' part.
Ditto for the Boston Red Sox. If there was the slightest possibility the Rays would have considered moving Price to New York, there was none when it came to Boston. There is no circumstance that would allow their pride to part with one of their core players to the hated Yankees. Yes, the Yankees were able to pick up Stephen Drew, but he has not been a vital part of the success of the Red Sox in recent years.
Interestingly enough, Boston's trade of Lester to the Oakland A's increases the possibility that he becomes a Yankee next year in my opinion. Oakland will not pony up the necessary dollars and I am not sure that Boston would get any hometown discount (if there ever would have been one to begin with). I am sure that the Los Angeles Dodgers will make a play for Lester and I would not underestimate the Seattle Mariners since Lester is a Northwest native.
If, by chance, Lester does return to Boston in the off-season as a free agent, it would be quite a coup to land Yoenis Cespedes for a two month rental of Lester to the A's.
Back to the Yankees, there really wasn't a blockbuster deal in the cards for them. The pitchers they were linked to (most notably John Danks) all have their own question marks and the Yankees would still have had to overpay. So, all things considered, losing C/1B prospect Peter O'Brien (in the deal to acquire Martin Prado from the Arizona Diamondbacks) was a small price to pay. The Yankees have no shortage of replacement prospects for O'Brien (he wasn't going to be a catcher and his departure allowed the Yankees to promote 1B Greg Bird to AA). Kelly Johnson for Stephen Drew made sense as Johnson wasn't really being used by the Yankees, and Stephen Drew gets an audition as a potential 2015 replacement for the retiring Derek Jeter even if he'll be out of position (2B instead of SS) for the next two months.
Drew's arrival (a surprise given that it involved an infrequent trade with Boston) spelled the end of the line for former Baltimore Orioles great Brian Roberts. Roberts seemed like a good guy but the Yankees needed more at 2B. Drew, even though he had never played 2B at the major league level, was still an upgrade at a position that has been sorely lacking since the day Robinson Cano signed in Seattle. I wish that Drew had a stronger bat, but his athleticism seems to play well on defense.
Prado is a great all purpose guy but not exactly what I had envisioned for right field. Yet, he's an improvement over the aging Ichiro Suzuki. I heard the Yankees had tried to acquire Dustin Ackley from the Seattle Mariners before they turned their sights on Prado. Apparently, Seattle's request for minor league pitcher Bryan Mitchell was a deal breaker. That's too bad because I've long thought that Ackley would fit well with the Yankees. Personally, I would have given up Mitchell to get Ackley.
The Yankees did need help on offense and even if they weren't flashy moves, the additions of Drew and Prado were upgrades. But I had really hoped the Yankees would have been able to secure an additional arm for the rotation which didn't happen. But I never wanted to see a deal that involved losing top prospects so perhaps it was best that nothing happened. Clearly, the Yankees are not going to win a World Series this year unless they get ridiculously lucky in the next couple of months. As it stands, they'd be easily dismissed by either Oakland or Detroit.
It's possible the Yankees made a waiver deal or two this month, but I seriously doubt there will be any major additions. Win or lose, this is the 2014 Yankees.
Chasing A-Rod…
It is early in Chase Headley's Yankee career, however, I really like what I've seen so far. Granted, he doesn't bring a monster bat, but his defensive plays have been something that has been missing from Yankee Stadium for many years. There's no doubt I prefer Headley over Alex Rodriguez and I hope the Yankees decide to bring Headley back next year.

Considering that Yangervis Solarte has been hitting with consistency since he arrived in San Diego, the Headley trade is one of those that seems to have worked out well for both teams involved.
Friendships revisited…
With the acquisitions of Drew and Prado, it was interesting how it reunited former teammates. For Drew, it was a reunion with former Red Sox centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury and lefty specialist Matt Thornton. He was traded for a close friend, Kelly Johnson, a former teammate when they were both in Arizona. Ironically, I read that Drew and Johnson were together in Drew's home when news of the trade broke. I am sure that probably hasn't happened too often.
For Prado, he was teammates in Atlanta with catcher Brian McCann and first baseman Mark Teixeira.

Even Carlos Beltran was able to catch up with old friends, even though they are playing in the opposing dugout with former Cardinals teammates Allen Craig and Joe Kelly. It wasn't that long ago Beltran, Craig and Kelly were playing in the World Series, along with now Boston reliever Edward Mujica, against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Assimilating with a new team…
When Wednesday's games were over, I am sure that Stephen Drew's mind was on the upcoming series against the Yankees. So, when Thursday's trade put him in the opposite dugout, I wonder how long it takes to drop the loyalty to the former team. Not that I would think Drew would do anything to hurt the Yankees' chances to beat the Red Sox but I wonder if there is a part of you that quietly roots for your former teammates. When you are used to cheering the home team at Fenway, does that feeling automatically leave because you are suddenly wearing a different uniform? For Drew, when he played second base for the Yankees on Friday night, he had much deeper and more meaningful relationships with the Red Sox than he did with his own teammates. He'll develop those friendships on the team in time, but it just seems to me that it would be very difficult to change loyalties at the drop of a hat.
I watched a little of Jon Lester's debut with the Oakland A's on Saturday. Admittedly, Lester looked a little strange in Oakland's uniform. Jeff Samardzija looked more at ease than Lester did during their respective debuts, but it didn't show up in Lester's performance as he beat the Kansas City Royals while the Red Sox were losing to the Yankees.
USA Today Sports
David Price's debut as a Detroit Tiger takes place this week against the Yankees. As if they didn't see Price enough while he was with the Rays. Oh well, to be the best, you have to beat the best or so they say…
Sometimes Money Does Matter…
The Hunger Games…
When the Yankees said they were going to be big spenders during the opening signing period for international prospects, I still didn't imagine how aggressive they would be. Based on MLB.com's list of top international prospects, the Yankees have apparently signed five of the top ten players:
• Dermis Garcia, SS, Dominican Republic, #1
• Nelson Gomes, 3B, Dominican Republic, #2
• Juan De Leon, OF, Dominican Republic, #5
• Jonathan Amundaray, OF, Venezuela, #7
• Antonio Arias, OF, Venezuela, #9
In the second ten (11-20), they grabbed three shortstops:
• Hyo-Jun Park, SS, Korea, #13
• Wilkerman Garcia, SS, Venezuela, #14
• Diego Castilla, SS, Venezuela, #16
They also signed the #25 player in catcher Miguel Flames, Venezuela.
At first pass, it seems like a number of shortstops but I've read that Dermis Garcia will eventually be a corner infielder and Wilkerman Garcia may be switched to second base.
Dermis Garcia, the prized signing, represents the most the Yankees have spent on the international market since they signed top catching prospect Gary Sanchez in 2009. Garcia received $3.2 million, while Sanchez received $3.0 million.
It's interesting that Garcia was born in 1998, perhaps the greatest year of the modern Yankees era.
I can still remember when the Yankees selected an 18-year-old Derek Jeter out of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Hopefully, the 16 year-old Garcia will be a presence in pinstripes for more than 20 years too.
Of course, while the Yankees were focused on position players, the Boston Red Sox quietly signed the top two pitchers in Christopher Acosta, Dominican Republic, and Anderson Espinoza, Venezuela.
I thought it was a telling choice in the selection of the catcher (Flames). The Yankees seems overloaded with catching prospects and the Flames arrival is probably the prelude to the inclusion of another catching prospect such as Sanchez or John Ryan Murphy in a potential trade this month. I would not want to lose Sanchez for a middle-of-the-road starting pitcher but if the return were say someone like David Price, then I am all in.
With the international signings at approximately $14 million, the cost could be as much as $30 million with penalties plus the Yankees will be non-players in the next two signing periods as they'll be restricted to no more than $300,000 per player. But with their aggressive approach this year, the Yankees have infused significant future talent into the lower levels of the farm system.
The future is now…
I saw a reference that Park would be the first Korean-born Yankee but that's unfair to AAA second baseman Rob Refsnyder. Although raised in CA since he was 3 months, he was born in Seoul, South Korea to Korean parents. So I'd say Refsnyder will be the first Korean Yankee. Speaking of Refsnyder, I seriously hope that his Bronx arrival is sooner rather than later. The Yankees need to upgrade second base. Brian Roberts was once a great player but he'll never be that guy again. Why not go with a younger player who has upside potential? The sooner we can put Robinson Cano in the rear view mirror, the better.
What have you done for me lately?…
So much for the rags to riches story for career minor leaguer Yangervis Solarte. After a terrific start to the season, he has been non-existent for the past month and it earned him a free ride to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. His replacement is actually an older career minor leaguer, Zelous Wheeler, so we'll see how this goes. If it were me, I would have brought up Refsnyder. But there's a reason that Brian Cashman is GM and I am not, so I'll just have to have faith in the decision.
Too little, too late?…
Honestly, I am not sure there is anything the Yankees can do to save this season. They are a game under .500 entering play tonight and have played with virtually no offense. They only win if they can hold the opponent to a couple of runs or less. Robinson Cano is one player that could ignite the offense but obviously there's no way the Seattle Mariners are going to give him up. In retrospect, the Yankees should have overpaid to keep Cano. Alfonso Soriano was that kind of player at times last year but he's been in a season long slump that almost certainly means this is his final year in pinstripes. I thought that Brian McCann would be hitting by now but he is showing that he's one of those guys who needs a long acclimation process to the Bronx. Carlos Beltran is merely showing that he is a 36-year-old outfielder. The other off-season right field option, Shin Choo-Soo, has fared no better in Texas.
At this moment, the Detroit Tigers stand as the team to beat in the American League. For the past couple of weeks, they've been invincible and easily handled the second best Oakland A's this week. Joba Chamberlain is probably loving life at the top.
While I recognize the Yankees will make a move this month, I hope that they do not trade any top prospects unless the return is top shelf (i.e., David Price). I'd hate to lose Gary Sanchez and still finish 3rd or 4th in the AL East.
Oh well, tonight the Yankees play Phil Hughes in Minneapolis. Let's hope the results are better than the last time they saw Hughes in the Bronx when he and the Minnesota Twins dominated the Yanks.
It is high, it is far, it is caught…
A penny for your hits…
What does it take to buy a hit? Apparently not the $45 million the Yankees paid to Carlos Beltran or the $85 mil to Brian McCann or $175 million for former Sox centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury. This season has been a struggle for wins despite the team's winning record. It was finally starting to feel a little better at 29-25 but then the Yankees promptly lost 4 in a row.
Playing a good team like the Oakland A's, the Yankees bullpen failed miserably until the final game of the series when David Robertson locked away a win for ace Masahiro Tanaka. That bleeding started in the series with the Minnesota Twins and was inevitable with the short innings being provided by the replacement starters (i.e., David Phelps, Vidal Nuno and Chase Whitley). When the Yankees are only scoring 1 or 2 runs a game, the starters need to throw a gem almost every outing which obviously is not realistic given the current state of arms.
I thought the Yankees should have aggressively tried to sign Stephen Drew before the Boston Red Sox re-signed him, and now I feel the same way about slugger Kendrys Morales. Now that there is no longer draft pick compensation tied to him since the MLB started yesterday, I felt the Yankees should go after him. Maybe they are, but there's competition. Based on yesterday's first draft pick for the Yankees in the second, had they signed Morales earlier, the cost would have been lefty reliever Jacob Lindgren who is already projected to make an appearance in the Yankees bullpen this year. But now it's an open field for Morales and the Yankees have reluctance, wanting to see how Mark Teixeira and Carlos Beltran perform. In my opinion, the odds of one or both going back to the DL at some point is very high, and the designated hitter, Alfonso Soriano, is not hitting, so I would aggressively pursue Morales to cover 1B/DH. Ironically, Morales is the guy the Los Angeles Angels turned to when Mark Teixeira left as a free agent. It worked out well for the Angels and I think it can work out well for the Yankees. No ifs, ands, or buts, the Yankees need a proven consistent run producer in the middle of the order. I agree with those who say the Yankees sorely miss Robinson Cano's bat. Ironically, the Yankees were also unable to re-sign another slugger having a good year in Milwaukee this year (Mark Reynolds) despite the usual anemic batting average. Those home runs would look pretty good about now in Yankee Stadium.

On nights the Yankees are scoring only a run or getting shut out, I even see guys like Milwaukee's Lyle Overbay, another 2013 Yankee, driving in a couple of runs for his new team. And of course, who delivered the key hit in the Yankees last game with the Twins when the Yankees bullpen collapsed in the late innings? None other than former backup shortstop Eduardo Nunez.
At this point, the Toronto Blue Jays are starting to run away with the division. They are clearly playing like the class of the division and they just came off a very successful series against perennial AL contender Detroit. If I had to pick two teams playing in the ALCS right now, I'd pick the Blue Jays and the Oakland A's. If the Yankees do not figure out how to fix the current offensive drought, they really will be offensive and done for the season in September.
Not everybody was meant to be Mariano Rivera…
Nothing against David Robertson but I am still not sold on him as the team's closer. Sure, replacing Mariano Rivera is big shoes to fill. However, I still think that Robertson's stuff plays best in a Set Up role. I have been intrigued with the possibility of trying Dellin Betances in the role, but he needs more major league experience so maybe next year. The reliever the Yankees picked yesterday (Jacob Lindgren) is also a future possibility. If Robertson blows a few more games like he did against Minnesota, I'd really consider using Andrew Bailey in the role when he gets healthy…for now.
I love you, I love you not…
Speaking of former Yankees thriving outside of New York, both Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain seem to be doing fine. Hughes even captured a victory in the Bronx with the aforementioned bullpen collapse, a place that he couldn't buy a win last year. Chamberlain has a couple of saves and a decent ERA. I can't say that I've watched him too closely but his stats seem to say that all is good. Why couldn't have these guys performed like this last year? Rhetorical question and of course, there is something to be said about the pressure of playing in New York. It's not for everyone.
Farewell to a champion…
It was sound to hear about the passing of former Yankees bench coach Don Zimmer this week. The image of Zim sitting next to Joe Torre on the Yankees bench is forever burned into my memory. He was such a part of those late 90's championships and he helped mold Torre into a Hall of Fame manager and one who will soon have his number retired in Memorial Park. I realize that sooner or later, all of us must depart. But still, it is sad to see Zim go now. I understand he had been in poor health since April and hopefully he is now at peace. He will be missed as he was truly one of Major League Baseball's landmarks.

I itch when I take antibiotics. Is this an allergic reaction?
- Q: In the past year or two, it seems that every antibiotic I take causes itching after a dose or two. Is this an allergic reaction? I am starting to wonder if I will be able to take an antibiotic for a serious infection if I ever need it.
- A: Signs of an allergic drug reaction can include hives (a red, itchy rash often with welts), difficulty breathing, or swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat. While there are many antibiotics available, most of them fall into 6-7 categories. Once you are allergic to one medication in a class, you are generally not able to take any other medications in that category. However, a different category of antibiotic may be appropriate.

What he's getting at is that you don't need a wife, husbands, kids, jobs, etc, to have "a life". Which is a wild accusation anyways.
Case in point, said people posting in this thread, saying "lol they herpaderpa raid 6-7 nights a week, they're hardcore at losing at life", are themselves playing this game 6-7 days a week for multiple hours a day. While they aren't raiding, they are still putting more than the allotted time it takes to do any relevant dailies, though somehow they aren't considered no life nerds. Some of these name people just sit in Org, doing nothing but trying to impress randoms. Effective use of time? I think so.
I feel like I got a little off topic there, so let's get back on track. I'm just going to go ahead and assume that: A) You live with your parents still, thus have no bills, B) Live in a dorm, going to college on financial aid/parents $, C) You play WoW as much as the rest of us, effectively nullifying any "I have a life lululu" troll comment. I'm making this assumption because, you assume that playing wow often is no life. Well, making an assumption of "having a life" is going out often is just plain ludicrous. When you grow up, you come to realize all the responsibilities that are dropped on your head. Things like working a job, furthering your education through college, maintaining a relationship, and proper spending of your finances. I feel like that last one is the main problem most "lolol ugotnolife" kids fail to comprehend, because "having a life" is synonymous with spending a lot of money. Alcohol isn't cheap at bars, cover charges aren't cheap, though paying $15/month for an unlimited amount of fun is cheap. Now that we've gone over that we can continue.
Back on the life topic, you can still put in 20-30 hours a week and still proceed with your life, why? because there are 24 hours in a day, most of which are used to work, go to class, eat, etc. Well if you're wondering where I'm going with this it's that almost all guilds with somewhat okay progression raid at night. Since they're raiding at night it's easy to say that they've probably accomplished something else during the day besides lololraiding. And once they put in the time to down progression, they raid less time per week than you wait in lfr queue.
tl/dr: Hardcore WoW players generally have more of a life than you because they know how to manage their time efficiently, along with their monetary spending.

90 Blood Elf Paladin
TLDR Version:
hear hear
I'm glad you posted this my friend. I recognize the former mistakes that I have made, but let me point out some of yours. Sorry for not responding quicker, I failed to click on the 2nd page. #herpderp
First of all, let me address these issues you've stated and/or assumed.
Assumption #1: You stated in Paragraph A (assuming the first line is two sentences) three assumptions in which none of them are correct. The first assumption you made was that I live with my parents. I live with my mother, therefore, making the word "parents" singular. So, assumption one out the window (Oh and I'll be 20 in December). The second assumption you made was that I live in a dorm. You did not state apartment or anything of that nature. But yes, I am receiving financial aid in which I worked very hard for myself. Obtaining a 4.01 GPA in High School and obtaining around $2.5k a semester from scholarships (if that even matters). Not here to boast and boost my ego, I don't need it honestly. ;) Back to my point, you were wrong on the second assumption. Now, on to the third assumption. The third assumption you made was an opinion. I personally have a life. I have a girlfriend of 1 and a half years, and we've been through more than I myself can fathom; more or less anyone else. You assumed that I played WoW as much as the rest of you. To be honest, I probably play more than all of you. I explained that in former posts in this thread. Do you remember the 400+ days and 300+ days? That's 700 days non-stop playing World of Warcraft. Omitting about a month for AFK's etc etc. So, that right there was an opinion.
Assumption #2: Immediately after your third assumption of Paragraph A, you quoted "When you grow up". You have no idea the things I have endured at a young age my friend, and I find it hard that I'm even able to type to you without going "ape !@#$", but this is a major assumption, and your worst yet.
Assumption #3,4,5: Directly after the above assumption ^^^^^, are three more assumptions. Listed as the following: You assumed that I've never worked a job, that I'm not furthering myself in college, that I'm not maintaining and never have maintained a relationship, and that I'm ignorant in the financial department (i.e. savings/bills etc etc).
Assumption #6: This one doesn't really count, but it would definitely be the most major assumption. I say it doesn't count because you never used the word "you". Using you implies that you're referring directly to me, but in some cases you never used the word you. For example, you re-stated several times about this "lollol ugotnolife" phrase. But you always referenced to a general population; me, you, and the rest of us know who it was directed to.
That's all the assumptions I could find my friend. Again, as I stated in the beginning. I failed to read over what I had previously posted a day or two ago. I did make mistakes and a lot of them were hypocritical. But I'm owning up to them, something many people cannot do.
* Former mistakes were edited, apologies*

Edited by Idareyou on 11/6/2012 7:42 AM PST
Yes, I added more assumptions in Assumption #1. I did this so the Assumptions wouldn't add up and make it look worse on you.
Also, I think you've had your fun for assumptions, so I think I'll take a shot at one.
I'm going to assume you're not in a guild because of posts such as these. <3

Edited by Idareyou on 11/6/2012 7:55 AM PST
The whole "you don't know what I've done and what I've been through" is a pretty cliched response really as everyone, even the privileged elite go through tough times, or emotionally challenging periods of their lives. You also only focused on my assumptions, which after reading your retort, seem pretty accurate. The main point of my post was to give a general idea of how flawed the "you have no life you play wow" comment is. The primary people using this phrase are younger adolescent people who have no financial responsibilities and are probably still in, or just fresh out of junior-college.
But I am slightly impressed, out of all the posts I've made that have been replied to, you are the first one to catch onto my tactics.
Edit: Actually I'm not in a guild, because Relentless hasn't raided in years, and the guilds on this server aren't up to snuff(no offense, it's just the truth, and $25 or $55 is best spent on my living expenses). Additionally, one could assume since I'm still level 85, that I don't use this character for anything other than Shattered Hand forum posts.
Edited by Rodamer on 11/6/2012 8:09 AM PST
Understandable man, sorry just got out of the bath (yes i take baths, way more relaxing).
And I understood your main point, it was addressed throughout your post. I did, however, own up to my mistakes in the beginning and the end. They have also been edited! :) And I'm not saying you said that I didn't edit/own up to my mistakes, just making it clear that I have fixed these issues.
And about you and Relentless. In BC, Relentless was both the top guild in PvP and PVE in the entire Battlegroup and was among the top 10 I think in the world. You have a spot any time in my guild my friend. We are actually recruiting a rogue/warrior for our last melee dps, and we will get you fully geared in less than one week. We do not however have the money to provide for your professions. But we can of course farm the mats.
Get back to me via in game whisper or mail, if your account is still active (and if you're willing to get back into the Addiction).

I've seen that line used all too many times by those clinging desperately to a former glory, afraid to prove their worth in the game of today. It gets old very fast, to say the least.
Shall we ask the Great Muhammid Ali to fight again ?
I guess up to snuff wasn't the right wording to use. You made a horrible impression on most of this server when you guys first came over and are viewed distastefully by some.
But sure, we'll go with that, I suck at this game now.
You're comparing getting old after being one of the greatest athletes of all time to not having played a video game for 4 years.
I'll just leave it at that.
I guess up to snuff wasn't the right wording to use. You made a horrible impression on most of this server when you guys first came over and are viewed distastefully by some.
You mentioned guilds, in plural. If you are going to badmouth Tyranny, don't tippy-toe around it; we're all adults here. Regardless, the expression you used wasn't even close to what you were allegedly trying to say.
However, some of our members did act incredibly immature when we first arrived here, and I wouldn't doubt that it left a sour taste in the mouth of some. It made me /facepalm in shame as well seeing some of the junk they were spewing.
Back on topic, however -- The Business.
Nothing more than a group of ne'er-do-wells banded together in the aftermath of conflict. A guild born from conflict will burn in the same manner. I give them 2 tiers tops.
Threats of violence. We take these seriously and will alert the proper authorities.

Union Forest and Environment Minister in the UPA government, Jayanthi Natarajan had an epistolary "face-off" with her Cabinet colleague, Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh over allowing Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) to conduct mining activities in the Saranda forest of Jharkhand.
The CBI Friday registered a preliminary enquiry (PE) against Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) and some unknown officials in the union ministry of environment and forests in connection with diversion of forest land for mining between 2007 and 2013.
Security personnel on Wednesday recovered a powerful landmine from Saranda forest during an anti-Naxal operation in West Singhbhum district, police said.
Security personnel recovered six landmines during combing operation in Maoist-affected Saranda forest under Chotanagara police station.
West Bengal government has initiated stringent steps to forestall any threat of Maoist ultras.
After being evicted from Saranda forest bordering Odisha and Jharkhand, Maoists appear to be planning to regroup in Sundargarh district, as a large group of cadres was apparently spotted in the area.
Jairam Ramesh on Saturday suggested that the dense Saranda forest in
Jharkhand should be made a `No-Go` zone as it is a Sal forest.
Aditya Bora, Assam cadre central committee member of ULFA and two of his associates, were arrestd by security forces during joint combing operation in Saranda forest bordering Orissa-Jharkhand,
police said.
Four persons were today detained
as fresh contingents of security forces took on Maoists in the
anti-Naxal operations inside Saranda forest in West Singhbhum
district where landmines and other explosives were seized.
They were killed after a massive anti-Naxal operation in the Saranda forest bordering Orissa.
