Dan's decision to do nothing turned out to be pretty stupid, didn't it?

Perhaps. Or it could have been better than mortgaging the future for average ML players that would not have gotten us anywhere. It's hard to know. It wasn't long ago that many here wanted to deal Machado for Chase Headley.

None of the prospects the Yankees gave up are ranked in their top 5 by BA or BP. Seems like a steal for the Yankees.

Rookie Davis is being undervalued in those rankings, I think. But I don't see this as a monster return at all. Clearly a discount.

I don't think he's under ranked, the top 5 in the Yanks list are just better prospects. This is a low risk, high reward situation for them. A proven all star level closer, for unproven lower ranked prospects, along the line of getting Parra.

Now if the Yankees can package Miller and Sanchez or Byrd for Stephen Strasburg, this will be a mighty deal.

If Chapman is suspended the season for a period of time it will not count toward his service time and give NY another year under team control.

May you never be a victim of that "system". It changes opinions real fast.

No. The system has nothing to do with firing a weapon in your garage. If he did not assault the woman, I feel strongly that he should not be permanently banned. I suspect that since no charges were filed, that he will come out of this just fine.

How are you determining this?

I don't disagree it's a good move for the Yankees. But Davis should clearly be a top 10 guy for the Yankees and he is certainly knocking on the door of the top 5 if he isn't in there already.

      Royals Series 4/19-4/21

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Their 55 relief innings are a MLB low ytd as all the starters have done well.    I think they probably want to ride those horses as much as they can as one of my takeaways from the first series was how slow all the relievers throw. Witt's a good MVP rabbit for Gunnar to chase, and he might bring up the question if a Club can still get a Prospect Promotion incentive bonus pick if the player is technically out of pre-Arb by virtue of having signed a LTC. Here are the ERA starting numbers of the lowest-tier of AL SP in strikeout rate: 6-4-8-6-8-1-10-4-7-7-6-7.    Marsh and Lugo have two of the low numbers there. Maikel Garcia has gone ice cold, a bit surprising as he looked All World against us.    They are just now getting perhaps intended starting 2B Michael Massey back from a spring injury (Adam Frazier all singles so far on the season). Burnes-Ragans rematch should have our guy's dander up...we pulled it out against the bullpen but he was outpitched by a lot that night.    Doesn't matter now but it looks like Ragans has never thrown more than about 2200 pitches in a season, in case they end up needing him for more than 26.5 regular season weeks.

      Well, he didn't know he was going to have a short stint when he was pitching.

      Not trying to throw hate on Bobby Witt Jr because I think he’s an elite talent. When does his baserunning become a detriment to the team? Last year he was thrown out 15 out of 64 attempts and this year 3 out of 7 attempt's. I was always under the impression you wanted to be in low 80 percent steal percentage. I heard a guess this week talk about him saying well he went what 30-50 last year. I thought to myself Gunnar could probably go 30-40 this year if he got thrown out 30 percent of the time.

      Still hate the Royals.  But they're tough.  We were fortunate to take 2 out of 3 in our home.  Game 3 we were down 3-0 going into the bottom of the 8th and dropped 2 in the 8th and 2 in the 9th.  I would be very happy with taking 2 and ecstatic with a sweep.  Please nothing less!

      The Orioles should just walk "OLd Man" Perez every time they can. For some reason he seems to own us the last few years. The Royals pitching has been amazing this year so far but something has to break. They are not going to pitch to a 2.79 ERA all year. The Orioles offense has been fairly hot overall so either the Royals are going to cool the bats, or the Orioles are going to bring the Royals pitching back to earth.  Burnes vs Ragans on Saturday should be a heck of a pitching duel. Of course that means the game will end 9-8.

      RIP Ken Holtzman

      Great recap and story. Thanks for sharing. I was only 6 and 7 years old back then so knew of these guys, but didn't remember anything about them when they played for the Oriole.   Holtzman had a nice career and in the end, he got several pieces that helped us when an AL pennant in 1979 and our only World Series championship in the last 50 years in 1983.

      If we're going to use n=1 samples, I see your Chris Davis and raise you a Roy Thomas.
