I have never wished a former Yankee well with a new team in my 54 years of Yankee Fandom. Until now. I hope Clint signs with a team and that team gets him the right medical help and he becomes a perennial all star.

The Yankees did him wrong and judging by recent articles planted by the Yankee PR machine they have trashed him out the door. It's awful.

I agree with you. Watch Frazier become an AS player away from Cashman and his staff.

It looks like I'm in the tiny minority about Frazier on this Board. Yeah I can see certain abilities but overall I just don't think he's very good at playing baseball and probably never will.
Combined that with health issues I have serious doubts about him For his sake I hope I'm wrong

After hearing what Sherman said yesterday on the MLBN, I'm going to assume they will not sign a shortstop. Living in that world, this would be my plan as GM.

Make a public announcement that Peraza, Cabrera, and Volpe will compete for the starting SS job in Spring training.

Sign Freddie Freeman.

Either sign Marte or go to the pirates and offer a package of gleyber, voit and dominguez, + if needed, for Reynolds

Sign Yan Gomes - a veteran defensive catcher that could be another matt blake on the field.

Sing Carlos Rodon

Having 1 of the young shortstops. I'm assuming Peraza wins the job, surrounded by an infield of defensive + veterans will take a lot of pressure off them and you could put them down in the lineup to let their bat come along.

1b: Freeman
2nd: DJ
SS: Peraza
3rd: Urshela
LF: Galo
CF: Reynolds
RF/DH: Judge
DH/RF: Stanton
C: Gomes

SP: Cole, Rodon, Severino, Monty, Tallion

RP: Chapman, Green, Louisiga, German, Cortes, Holmes, Peralta, King

Bench: Cabrera, 4th OF, Higgy.

OK, How's this?

Rodon, Carlos Rodon,

All kinds of fans love Carlos Rodon:

Big Fans, Little fans, fans who climb on rocks

Tough fans, Sorta fans, even fans with Chicken Pox

Love Rodon, Carlos Rodon –

The guy fans love to get.

This would be a $300M payroll. I doubt they will go that high.

I would trade for Jose Ramirez before Bryan Reynolds (I advocated for Reynolds in May 2021 but his value has gone too far up now)

It looks like I'm in the tiny minority about Frazier on this Board. Yeah I can see certain abilities but overall I just don't think he's very good at playing baseball and probably never will.
Combined that with health issues I have serious doubts about him For his sake I hope I'm wrong

I'm kind of with you. I think at one point, he was going to be a star, but after the injury and vertigo issues, I have my doubts.

You're definitely not alone. Average hitter and a below average fielder.

As I’m sure you’re aware, I’ve been disappointed in Frazier since day 1. His entire game on both sides of the ball is a mess, and I’ve always thought it was the fault of his pre-Yankees coaching. To his credit he tried making some adjustments but it seems to be too late…he has muscle memory that will never be erased.

[mbn007]

I agree with you. Watch Frazier become an AS player away from Cashman and his staff.

Wonder if he goes back to Cleveland, where he was drafted. They can always use OF help.

[ppa79]

One thing I don't get about Frazier is that he had no baseball instincts especially on defense. The guy has been playing outfield his whole life and everytime I watched him it looked like he never played outfield before.

[Obnoxio]

Makes me wonder if he needs glasses

[sjb23]

I just want some OFers that can stay on the field and catch the ball! (other than Gardner, lol) Is that too much to ask???

Oh, and they gotta hit too.

Clint never did anything consistently. I also believe he's an unusual person.

[ojo]

Yeah, we should run him down some more. This is a great look, guys. 😂

I see no problem with fans sharing their opinions - good or bad - on an ex-Yankee. I have a lot of agita over the front office friendly media trashing him on his way out though.
