I would wager there are at least three guys on our bench that would be starting for the Yankees today. Maybe all four. Crazy that with guys like Rutschman, Mountie, Hays on the bench, we can field a lineup that looks this dangerous. There are a lot of contending teams that would love to have these guys  (and not just Rutschman) in their lineup every day, let alone as options off the bench. 

Os are almost certainly the deepest team in the majors when it comes to position players. 

The Yankees DH yesterday was Jahmai Jones and J.D. Davis was battling in the cleanup spot. 😬

Ah, another year of second guessing the lineup every single day!

I don’t know why people keep lumping O’Hearn in on posts like this. The guy had one of the few over .800 OPS on the team last year. He’s not remotely the problem.

I heard that he was initially scheduled to be DH, but told Hyde, “if Burnes doesn’t want me to catch him, then I don’t wanna play!”  Then he was seen softly sobbing in a corner of the locker room.

Exactly. My point is just as much about how bad the Yankees lineup is than it is how good our bench is - though both things are true. 
 

And as I type this the Yanks go down 5-0 as a home sweep at the hands of the Reds looks very possible. The Yankees are a paper tiger.

Obviously they have a few very expensive players, but How do you have a payroll like the Yankees and not address depth better than that?  It’s downright malpractice. And they had to make a in season trade to even get Davis.

Without Judge (mostly) and Soto (a little less), the Yankees would be putrid. And that would even be with a healthy Cole.

Edited to add Stanton. He is still dangerous if you make a mistake to him.

Can you name a team that had the deepest pool of position players AND the deepest pool of pitchers?  Can’t have everything. It’s very easy to lose sight of what we do have when you only focus on what we don’t. 
 

We also have the second lowest team ERA in the majors despite significant injuries to the staff, so there’s that too. 

I understand your point about not having everything and forgetting what we do have . My question is…….do we have to stop trying to improve our farm and ML teams ?   And stay ahead of the curve ( as BeMore said ) ?

The way the Yankees are built Judge, Soto and Stanton all need to be playing and be producing for their offense to be any good. Stanton is on the IL again and now teams have more latitude to pitch around Judge and Soto. 

Let Judge or Soto hit their solo home runs because the remainder of that lineup isn’t doing anything.

Did I say we should stop trying to improve? That’s ludicrous.

And they are discussing mega extension with Soto while all of this going on, fascinating I might say

      Skubal trade..Kjerstad, Mountcastle, McDermott and Bradfield?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I will ask you the same thing that I asked him (and he did not answer) - What team could/would give them a package (that he suggests) that gives the Tigers a prospect comparable to Mayo plus Kjerstad plus more prospects? Dylan Cease was moved for nowhere near that. I agree that it might require a Mayo/Basallo level prospect as in one. But I don’t see starting pitchers in 2024 commanding that kind of trade value (that was suggested) given the injury risks/probabilities.

      Trade Proposal: Fedde & Kopech for Norby & Beavers

      By Rustbelt · Posted

      Fedde versus Suarez Fedde versus Kremer? Who would you pick for the #3 starter?   What is a 1/2 of season of success really worth?

      Do we let Povich make his next start against the NYY?

      By eddie83 · Posted

      Ultimately it does make sense since he threw 43 pitches to throw him Thursday vs Cubs and then send him down.    It would push Suarez to 6 days rest and keep Grayson on 5. Then just have to see who they start Tuesday to see who goes Sunday. They could get cute and have a pen game as well. Hate to say it but one advantage of Burnes pitching Sunday is he can’t pitch in ASG.

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I’d probably want to isolate Fedde in a trade and make it less complicated. Norby and McDermott seems fair for him.  I believe Fedde has 2.5 season left. So that’s 3 playoffs. Similar to what Bud Norris had when we traded for him.

      Trade Proposal: Fedde & Kopech for Norby & Beavers

      By Warehouse · Posted

      For me, it’s an easy yes and I’d probably go for the enhanced package to add Brebbia for a couple DSL players (excepting Jordan Sanchez, Adriander Meija, Elvin Garcia, Keeler Morfe, and Esteban Meija). - Fedde is probably similar to Kremer or maybe a slight notch below, but better than Suarez and Irvin I think.  He improves the 4 spot in the rotation this year and next year with the extra year of control.  If he gives us a 4.15 ERA over this year and next, that may not be sexy but it is valuable. - Kopech “stuff” modeling metrics are off the charts - he is 5th out 157 qualified relievers.  He has a 3.39 SIERA. He’s controlled through next year. Perhaps, most importantly, he can be optioned this year. - Brebbia has a a 2.75 SIERA, 3.14 FIP, and 3.19 xFIP. His Stuff+ is 105.  He makes our bullpen better. - All three will benefit from better defense with the Orioles. - I’m not super high on Norby or Beavers.  I’m not sure what Norby’s carrying took is. Theoretically, it’s his hit tool but he is striking out 29% of the time. He is also not a particularly patient hitter.  He has middling exit velocities and most of his AAA home runs wouldn’t be home runs at Camden Yards. His defense has been known to be a weakness.  Beavers is far from a sure thing to stick in the MLB at all, much less become an average regular or better. I’m not sure the White Sox make this deal but I would (particularly if it transacted now and we got an extra month).

      No better alternatives.    Keep evaluating him until we get another starter.  If he gets annihilated again, send him down regardless.
