If Andujar gets injured (knock on some serious wood that doesnt happen.....) we still have Wade and Toe to fill in. I'd much rather move Drury than some other top prospect.

Leader Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Yankees will not sit idly. They will see if they can find catching depth and if anything changes in market and a high-end SP is available to them. But Britton/Happ fills reliever/starter priority five days b4 deadline.

pollino14 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Judge Sanchez Torres Bird Tanaka Montgomery all injured for multiple weeks this year, that's incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true. Not eager to see it....but interested to see how Judge's vacuum gets filled. Can we keep winning? Given Sanchez's current output - Romine can cover there - but the dynamic of our lineup the combined absence of AJ and Sanchez..... I'd keep Torres somewhere at the top of the line up. We'll need bat control and hits. Your time to shine Mr. Stanton. I'd expect other teams to try to pitch around if they can - so keep the bat (and the K's) under control and the base hits (or walks) coming.

I can barely remember his name. At this point you gotta figure he's nothing but overpriced dead weight. The guy's been down this entire season with (what I'd call....) less than traumatic injuries and it seems that in the course of his "vacation-like" extended rehab-like absence he pulls this or strains that which only lengthens his down time. I agree - you've gotta stick a PostIt Note to your forehead to remind yourself he's even on the team. He's 34 years old and we're on the hook at a clip of 21M plus per year through 2021. Its a good gig if you can get it eh? We EVER gonna see him again on the active roster? Or is anybody else likely to take him off our hands - at his age - with his injury history - and at his salary? Only way we get rid of the guy is as a toss in on some deal - where we pay his room and board with the other club. Theres a saying told to people who are considering purchasing an expensive boat: Its nothing but an expense. Its nothing but a hole in the water. At this stage, Jacoby Ellsbury is our hole in the water and he's in never ending dry dock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently - last I read (around the AS Game) - he was down because of some back something or other and waiting to BEGIN baseball drills again - at which point (I'm tellin ya....) he's gonna strain something else (or again) and the clock will get reset. This year? Times running out on him and he's not played anything since Spring Training. So what good will he be? Next year? Can we count on a next year with this guy?

His price is a bargain, but what we have to give up to get him is quite important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not delivered the goods consistenly enough. He's 54 + 68 career w/3.69ERA. 3 + 5 this year. Good - not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
