Andrew Miller to sign today (Yankees 4/$36M)

[fansince71]

Folks this is a marginal upgrade.

And by marginal you mean huge. Especially if they still sign Robertson.

Exactly. I'll be a little more worried if they bring back Robertson.

This isn't a big deal. Miller is just going to make the same amount of money this year as Hunter and Matusz will. No big deal.

O'day is a FA next year. It's probably going to be around 3/18 to keep him. See where I'm going with this. If you get rid of Matusz and Hunter this year, and don't resign O'day. That is basically your money to sign Andrew Miller.

No, by marginal I mean marginal.

I kinda hope they sign Robertson and tie up another 36 million in the bullpen while not getting the extra pick.

I kinda hope they sign Robertson and tie up another 36 million in the bullpen while not getting the extra pick.

And we all keep hoping the Yankees contracts catch up to them. Meanwhile they've had 22 straight winning seasons.

Yup. Me too. They still have to have a lead late to make these guys worthwhile. The Yanks have not done anything offensively (or starting pitching wise) to make me believe they are any better.

Agreed, unless they sign Roberston too. They then gain an inning.

I know money trumps all but I don't see Robertson eager to come back and pitch the 8th. I also don't think they signed Miller to pitch the 8th.

And look at it this way, they get all three guys odds are pretty good one gets hurt or has that random implosion year relievers tend to have.

Betances wants to pitch the ninth. The Reds had a bullpen like this one time.

Ohh 84-78 last year.

The boys don't have the same drive to win as the old man did, and it shows.

Those same odds have Machado, Wieters and Bundy all not making full returns. Only difference is that we have no margin for error.

It is good to want things, builds character.

Where can I sign up for 84-78 every year?

[weams]

You did not think the Yankees would go all off season without signing anyone did you?

[Can_of_corn]

Those same odds have Machado, Wieters and Bundy all not making full returns. Only difference is that we have no margin for error.

Right because third basemen and catchers always have inexplicably bad years like relief pitchers do.

And the O's have more margin for error considering they are not the team that finished 12 games out last season.

You want to miss the playoffs every year?

Cause going 84-78 is how you miss the playoffs.
