2021-2022 Off Season Thread

I saw somewhere that Nevin led 3B coaches with 26 guys thrown out.

Even that, how many of them were because they were employing the contact play 95% of the time? Not to sound like a broken record, but if Boone is a puppet, I GUARANTEE that is also coming from up above. Another organization wide analytical decision that didn't work out.

I'd like Boone to go the Cardinals and their manager to come to the Yanks. Schildt would be a volatile choice for us, which is why he'd probably be perfect. Cashman wouldn't be able to make him feel inferior and therefore needing to follow his endlessly mixed-up advice, Already "winter dreams," of course.

Yanks go on contact from 3rd...not on Phil.

Hey, when does the bullpen coach get canned? How about that usher in Section 22? I mean, as long as we are doing window dressing changes, why not go all in.

So it's the major league hitting coach's responsibility to ensure the same hitting philosophy is taught throughout the organization? Incredible.

I think the bigger overall problem is that they are an organization that actually believes that there can only be one hitting philosophy.

Having multiple philosophies is a strength, not a weakness. It's a microcosm of the overall hubris that is Brian Cashman.

The key to success is understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all philosophy to any aspect of the game, because it is a game played by varying human bodies. Different philosophies work for different people and if you are able to effectively apply the right ones to the right people, guess what? Not this.

Bingo.

They did this with pitching for years and Sonny Gray is proof it isn't doesn't get the best out of everyone.

And sounds like that one size fits all pitching philosophy ruined Devi this year

beat writer thinks they’ll promote from within

Here are trades proposed by the Athletic, see what u think:
Then owner Hal Steinbrenner must do something he doesn’t like to do and play checkbook baseball on this year’s free-agent class and target center fielder Starling Marte, shortstop Corey Seager and starting pitchers Justin Verlander and this year’s Cy Young Award front-runner Robbie Ray.

Trade first baseman Luke Voit, second baseman Gleyber Torres and right-handed pitcher Domingo Germán to the Oakland Athletics for first baseman Matt Olson.

Trade outfielder Clint Frazier and third baseman Miguel Andújar to the Miami Marlins in exchange for right-handed starting pitcher Pablo López if his medicals are cleared.

Trade top right-handed pitching prospects Deivi García and Yoendrys Gómez along with catcher Gary Sánchez to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for catcher Willson Contreras.



They’d be getting younger — Olson, Seager and Lopez are all just 25-27 years old.

• They’d be more athletic — Marte’s ability to steal bases and his high on-base percentage could help boost traffic and that could help Stanton, Judge and Gallo turn solo homers into three-run shots.

• Add even more power — Olson would be an upgrade from both Rizzo and Voit offensively and defensively.

• Improve on-base percentage — Beyond Marte, Seager gets on base at a 39 percent clip and Olsen at 37 percent.

• Improve the catching position — It’s time to get a better all-around catcher than Sánchez. I can’t watch him go to the backstop one more time.

• The starting rotation would be much stronger and deeper — Adding Ray, López and Verlander (if he comes back close to his elite form) would potentially give the Yankees the best rotation in the league. I’m expecting Cole to be better in his second full year in pinstripes and if Luis Severino can stay healthy, he should be dominant as well.

I’d love this - but this is a $300+ payroll

I didnt want to include the whole article as it is premium but it prefaced it with the requirement Hal open the checkbook

[hhill]

that would get me back in the fold

[hhill]

btw you may not like that it also suggested Cash be made president of the Yankees but they hire a GM for day to day stuff reporting to Cash.

The old "Trade 3 players we don't want for one really good player" off season plan. It is often suggested but I wonder why no team has ever done it?

[Obnoxio]

I’d pass on Verlander.
He will have post injury issues, old age issues, and most importantly....post Astros issues.

I am afraid Ray would regress under the Process also.

They worry some Marlins pitcher has to pass a physical but want to trade for him with Andujar and Frazier
