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?

    • It’s called venting, montezuma’s revenge-o.
    • It did look like they already have their game legs back--maybe in time to make that dream come true. I live in Brooklyn and it's going to be a challenge to hold my place and my lip in the sports bars over the next three days (unless I go to one filled with Mets fans who are just letting one screen tune into the game in the Bronx).
    • Haha, yeah--Try to "Mooo!" that and see what happens.
    • Adley was 2022, not sure if Gunnar was 2022 or 2023, I think he was also 2022.
    • Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations. 
    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
