Yankees Need Catching Depth


ScGO's

Recommended Posts

The Yanks just lost Robinson Chirinos to a fractured wrist. He was brought in as insurance for Sanchez as Sanchez hit .147 last season.  The other back up is Kyle Higashioka who is 31 and a career .186 hitter in 72 career games. I wonder if Elias shops Severino or Sisco to NY?

Obviously we should see if we can con them into taking Adley off our hands.

Thought exercise.

Yankees call up and offer Jasson for Adley.

Do you do it?

 

That's a good one. I don't make that move, but it'll be interesting in a couple years to compare each player's trajectories.

If the Yankees could stomach Sisco's defense, his bat might play well in Yankees stadium. Then again, the Orioles might want to trot Sisco out as DH this year if Stewart is not healthy or working out and give him one last shot to see if his bat plays and can provide value. He's never going to be be a good defensive catcher but he should bounce around a bit for no other reason than he's a left-handed hitting catcher who can provide some occasional pop.

Why?

You are talking about trading the number 2 prospect in baseball, perhaps the best catching prospect in two decades, who is nearly ML ready for a teenager who hasn't taken a pro AB. There isn't a GM in baseball who would trade Adley for Jasson right now. We don't know if Jasson is done growing, can handle high velocity or hit a professional breaking ball.  I'm not going to definitively say Adley will provide more value in his career than Jasson but making that move right now without any data is a fireable offense.

Very likely I would make that move.

I'm helping Adley pack his bags and driving him to the airport.

Yup, I do it in a second. 

So help me out here. You would trade the #2 overall prospect at a position of need for the Orioles for an 18-year old 5-10 Dominican outfielder who has never been challenged against high level pitching yet? 

That seems like an awfully risky proposition. Now Dominguez looks to be very talented, but all Dominican players, regardless of talent and bonus are wild cards with high volatility for production. 

I wouldn't make that trade and it certainly is not a no-brainer as some of you are suggesting.

Miguel Andújar is blocked a bit and is coming off injury. Maybe a Sisco for Andujar trade makes sense for both? I'd rather give him a chance at 3B to regain himself as a guy, something that's not going to happen in New York. 

Do you feel like they would have equal interest in Severino?

    • Yes that is what happened last year to Adley.  I hope it is not a repeat even though this is someone from the Royals not Rangers where they stuff the ballot boxes and beat him out. Or the Yankees fans who think we are so evil vote for anyone going head to head against us. 
    • And 2 steals. Good enough to put him at .726 OPS and 39 SB through June. Cowser only put up a .795 OPS there. All things considered, EBJ only maybe is slightly under where we hoped he would be. I’d still like to see him finish up in Bowie.  The ASB is June 15-18. Any word on if EBJ has made the team?  I think we could see him promoted afterwards possibly???
    • Both are more of regular season arms. They’re not going to be back end arms in the pen. Suarez wasn’t used like that in his brief stint. He pitches to contact vs hunting for Ks. Both are suited to be regular season SP or bottom half of your pen relievers. 
    • I hope Adley beats out Perez. I believe this is where he lost to Heim last year. Mounty and Westburg will likely lose heads up. 
    • We have an off day to give Mounty an extra days rest. We have an off day next Monday as well with the ASB looming. Mounty is close to making the ASG so I doubt he wants to hit the IL.  Meaning a RP would have to go for Mayo. I think we’re trying to keep Urias this season and move on from him in the offseason. Mayo is on target to be added as our extra player in September unless we have an injury.  It sure would be nice to bring Mayo up and let him get a ton of ABs to be ready for the playoffs.  At the end of the day, what’s worth more?  Urias as an insurance policy that shouldn’t get ABs in the playoffs, or developing Mayo that should get playoff ABs?  
    • When Kremer comes back and if we get a #3 starter, would that help bolster the pen? You can move Suarez and Irvin/Povich into the pen.
    • Those three starts were going against @NYY, @Hou, and Texas. He’s slated to go @Oak with an extra day of rest.  We have to differentiate between regular season SP and playoff SP. Just like how we have to do with regular season RP and playoff RP.  Irvin, Povich, Kremer, and Suarez, are fine options to get you through 162.  Burnes, and Grayson, are our playoff options right now. We need a game 2/3 SP. The playoff RP core looks to be Kimbrel, Cano, Webb, Coloumbe(if healthy), and Perez. It would be nice to add two arms to the playoff RPs.
